Tennis and pickleball in later life

Many people discover tennis or pickleball in retirement, and the club becomes their social world. Ways to honour that community:

• The club name and years played on the back.
• Their regular doubles partner's name — "Partner of Joan for 20 years".
• Crossed rackets or paddles above the name.
• A bench at the club, with the club's permission, where friends can still sit between games.

"Love all" works for both sports — a score and a message.

Key Takeaways

• Rackets and paddles are favourites.
• Tennis phrases make clever epitaphs.
• Club details personalise it.
