What Are Memorial Wind Chimes?
The Wind River Chimes Memorial Collection consists of wind chimes designed to be a lasting tribute and thoughtful gift in times of grief – a way to honor a loved one each time the breeze sets the chime in motion. By adding a personal engraved message to the wind sail (name, dates, a short message), the remembrance feels personal and enduring. And the wind chimes’ soothing tones help keep memories near, long after flowers have faded.

Wind River offers three levels of wind chime collections—Premier, Deluxe, and Classic—each designed to meet different preferences in sound, style, and budget.

• The Premier Collection, featuring Arabesque® and Corinthian Bells®, delivers the highest sound quality with thick-walled aluminum tubes, centrally pinned stringing, and ultra-high- density polymer strikers for rich resonance.
• The Deluxe Collection, home to Shenandoah Melodies®, balances affordability and quality using slightly thinner tubes and a redwood striker that produces a mellow, lasting tone.
• The Classic Collection, including Arias® and Festival®, and In Loving Memory, features lighter, brighter tones with traditionally strung tubes and redwood domes and strikers
