Caring For Your Memories
|
There is always a level of unsettledness when moving out of a home, regardless of how long one has lived there. And when downsizing or selling off the belongings becomes necessary, then the stored family memories must also be confronted. No longer can they just be boxed and moved to the next home. It is time to care for these memories. But sometimes, family members are short of time, energy, or resources to organize these family treasures before the moving date or estate sale. Some of these collections can be considerably large in quantity and disorganization, making it a daunting task to confront in a short time period. This situation places unnecessary pressure on the family and sometimes upon an estate seller. We provide various levels of services to care for these memories until you have the time and ability to take the next step in preserving. Prices generally vary between $150 to $900, based on the time involved. |
