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.
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
