Honouring Mum or Dad

When a parent passes, their children carry different pieces of their story. A memorial book brings siblings together to share memories from various life stages, preserving Mom's sayings or Dad's lessons for grandchildren. From childhood memories to final years of wisdom, create a complete portrait that honors their role in shaping your family and the love that continues beyond their presence.

Unite siblings to preserve Mom's or Dad's story for grandchildren who deserve to know them.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Keepsake memorial book is a collaborative tribute that brings together memories, stories, and photos from family and friends. It's designed to celebrate your loved one's life by gathering different perspectives, creating a complete portrait that honours their memory and preserves their legacy for future generations.
There's no perfect timeline for grief or remembrance. Some families start immediately while memories are vivid, others wait until they're emotionally ready. The collaborative nature means people can contribute when they feel able, and you can build the memorial book gradually as stories surface and healing progresses.
Keepsake makes it simple to invite family and friends via email or link. You can share specific prompts or let contributors add their own memories. Some people prefer writing privately, while others might want to share stories during family gatherings. The platform accommodates both approaches.
Creating a memorial book can be deeply emotional, and that's okay. Work at your own pace, take breaks when needed, and remember that tears and laughter often go hand in hand when sharing memories. Many families find the process healing, as it focuses on celebrating life rather than loss.
Absolutely. Many families include eulogies, readings, or special moments from memorial services. You can also add the guest book messages, photos from the service, or stories people shared that day. These elements help create a complete record of how their life was celebrated.
Every life has complexities. Focus on creating an honest but loving tribute. You control what's included, so you can acknowledge challenges while emphasising positive memories and growth. The collaborative approach often helps balance perspectives and create a fuller, more compassionate portrait.
One beautiful aspect of memorial books is uncovering unknown stories. Family friends might share adventures from their youth, colleagues might reveal acts of kindness, or distant relatives might contribute family history. These discoveries become precious gifts that expand your understanding of your loved one's life.
While everyone grieves differently, many families find that creating a memorial book provides purpose during a difficult time. The process of gathering and sharing positive memories can be therapeutic, and the finished book becomes a source of comfort that celebrates life rather than focusing on loss.
