Honoring Your Loved One
"When someone you love becomes a memory...the memory becomes a treasure." Now that you have put all this effort into a video or display board for the memorial service, what happens to it? It just seems wrong to disassemble it or pack it away. No one will benefit from the special memories stored in the photos and other memorabilia.
Go the next step and create a book of those items which give honor to your loved one. The book will "memorialize" the person's life and memorial service, so the memories remain a treasure in your family.
Your book is professionally created (not using an online service), printed and bound in the Twin Cities. The size of your book is your choosing - they usually range from 25 - 50 pages and can be coil, softbound, or hardbound. Families typically request 10 books to 50 books, based on the size of the family.
The content of your book can vary, depending on the focus over the person's life. Examples of content:
- Narrow: images taken at the memorial service and cemetery, program, obituary, eulogies, special cards and notes received, etc.
- Broader: images of the last few years of the person's life, newspaper articles, story text describing the person's life. May include content from the memorial service.
- Very Broad: images and memorabilia from across the person's life, from childhood to the months before the death. May include content from the memorial service.
Prices vary based on the quantity of content and number of books printed (typically between $750 and $1800). I custom design your book to meet your desire and budget.
