remembrance to keep close to one’s heart.

blankets have a simple purpose: to enable
families to cope more easily, to hold a source
of comfort in your hands and to find peace
in your heart.

Keepsakes bring memories to an even

more personal level by holding a small
portion of cremated remains, a lock of
hair or dried ceremonial flowers.

Simply the best in printed

memorial keepsakes.
