Framed tributes, written from memory
You share the memories. We turn them into words worth keeping – an original tribute, typeset beside their photograph on cream paper and framed to last.

More than a memorial. A portrait of a life, told by the people who knew it best.
Three pieces we made, from what their families told us – a garden handed to a grandson, a goodnight story with all the voices, a lifetime of houses and three sons taught the trade. Yours is written from yours.
Every piece is written new, from your memories. Select any one to read its words.
The writing
Some things about a person can only be known by the people who loved them – what they did with their hands, what they always said, the Sunday-afternoon details that never make it into an obituary. Those are the things we ask you about, and there is no right way to answer.
From those memories we write an original tribute in the third person – a portrait of them in words – or, if you prefer, a letter. Nothing is taken from a book of verses. If a line could be about anyone, it is not finished.
He measured twice for everything, doors and daughters, and cut once, and it was always true.From a tribute
Put the kettle on and sit with me a minute. The kitchen still knows the smell of Sunday sauce.From a letter
You are in control of the words the whole way, and nothing prints without your word.
A photograph and a few questions – their name, a habit, the moment you keep coming back to. Share as much or as little as you have.
An original tribute or letter takes shape from the details you gave – not a template with a name dropped in. It is typeset beside their photograph on cream paper.
You see the finished piece exactly as it will print – every word, the layout, the photograph. Change any line you like. You pay only when you approve.
A giclée print on archival paper, set in a gallery frame, and shipped ready to hang – with a note card signed from you when it is a gift.
Every size is the same piece – the same writing, print, and frame quality – scaled to the wall it will live on.
Free US shipping on every order. You see and approve your proof before you pay.
Given as a gift
Many tributes are given to someone else – a friend who lost her mother, a parent grieving a parent. You share the memories you know, we write and design, and you approve the proof. You know the recipient, so you are the right judge of every word.
The finished piece arrives gift-ready, with a note card printed on the same cream paper and signed from you. Nothing in the box says it came from a company.
The piece takes shape from what you remember. That is all you need to start.
