About Us

My Journey

The loss of my grandmother was both expected and unexpected. We knew her health was declining, yet it happened so fast. As the grandson, I didn’t have a lot to do in the funeral arrangements but, I was surprised at how much went into preparing for the service. I went to college for design and you learn to spot the difference between poor and good design. I had the skills and I wasn’t going to let my grandmother’s funeral program not honor her with a poor design. However, I wasn’t able to create what I truly wanted for her because of another reason—life. All the things I had to do to provide for my family on top of grieving and preparing for a service left me with little time and emotional energy. Though I was able to do something that was better than the funeral programs I was accustomed to seeing it wasn’t what I truly wanted. I knew I wasn’t alone.

George Paul III

We all want to honor our loved ones. They deserve it. They’ve sacrificed to provide the best for us and we want to honor the legacy they’ve built by capturing it in an amazing way and give them the send-off they deserve. Yet, many don’t have the time, emotional energy or skills to do so. This is what compelled me to create Cherished Keepsakes. To utilize my design skills to help families honor the legacy of their loved ones by capturing their essence. Since our founding we’ve had the privilege of helping honor the legacy of thousands of loved ones across the country and we look forward to honoring your loved one as well.

While I wasn’t able to put together what I wanted for my grandmother since CK’s founding I’m proud to have been able to honor other family members. It brings me great joy to be a reliable source for families across the country and I look forward to honoring yours too.

Cherished Keepsakes has dozens of designs that can be personalized and delivered in time for your memorial service no matter where you are in the country. I’ve dedicated my skills and time to creating keepsakes that don’t overshadow a loved one but honor them. All life is valuable and deserves to be honored which is why I make keepsakes that people cherish.

Sincerely,
George Paul III,
Founder

Though I couldn’t honor my Grandmother the way I wanted I’m proud to have been able to honor my other relative’s legacies throughout the years.

Brilliant- I ordered the two heart ring to have two sets of ashes in and I am so so happy with it. I was kept up to date with delivery and Vicky was always brilliant with replying if I had queries! I couldn’t recommend this website more for stunning sentimental Jewellery!

I lost two cousins, tragically, in a span of four months of this year. I reached out to Cherished Keepsake for help as I prepared both obituaries. By far the easiest process during the most difficult time due to George’s professionalism and calm demeanor. I was kept informed through each phase of the process. I stressed over making sure the obituaries were put together respectfully and that they reflected both of their lives. George assured me that there was no need to worry. He designed each as if he was reading my mind. I, along with both families were totally satisfied with the final product.

Loves the service! Quick and easy process. Fast turn around time. George Paul contacted me Sunday to confirm order, on Monday before noon he sent me a proof of my product for approval. As soon as I responded my approval he said he’d mail it and I’d receive it next day Tuesday by 430pm. He sent me a fedex tracking and everything. Very simple. Kept me posted. My package arrived early Tuesday morning and George Paul text me to let me know. I am beyond satisfied. Would definitely recommend. I hope not to need the service any time soon but will definitely keep in mind for if when I do. Thank you George 🙏🏽

I was referred to Cherish Keepsakes by the funeral home but by far this was the best referral. George and the entire team are amazing. Patient in answering all of my questions, quick responses, and quick turnaround time. The programs, memory cards, and portraits were stunning. George made this painful process so much easier. Thankful I found them and will be using them in the future.
