Memorial Keepsake Art
A lasting tribute, made by your own hands
Turn a loved one's treasured belongings into a framed keepsake that tells their story. With gentle, step-by-step guidance, every family creates something they'll keep for a lifetime.
Bring what they treasured
Every piece has a place
Bring as many pieces as you like, whether it's a handful or a whole jewelry box. Keepsakes aren't only for jewelry, and they aren't only for women.
- Rings
- Brooches
- Earrings
- Necklaces
- Watches
- Cufflinks
- Tie clips
- Pins & medals
- Buttons
- Favourite team pins & keychains
Only have one or two pieces? That's all you need. I bring extra jewelry to fill out your design, so every keepsake looks full and finished.
Designed around the person
If it meant something to them, we can build it together
Choose a classic design, or create a shape that captures who they were.
The animal lover
A cat, a dog, or a favourite bird
The fisherman
A fish, a boat, or a lakeside scene
The gardener
A bouquet, a tulip, or a tree
The lifelong fan
Team logo, colours or crest
Classic designs are always available: cross, heart, angel and butterfly.
Everything you need
Just bring your memories. I'll bring the rest.
- Design templates for classic and custom shapes
- Frames and backing boards
- All tools and adhesives
- A selection of extra jewelry to fill out your piece
- Gentle, step-by-step guidance throughout
- A calm, welcoming space to remember and share stories
Every item you bring is noted when you arrive, and anything not used in your keepsake goes home with you.
Session format
Unhurried, at your own pace
Most keepsakes take 3 to 4 hours to complete. Some finish sooner and some like to take their time, and both are welcome.
Book one longer session, or spread the time over shorter 1-hour sessions, whichever suits you best.
At your funeral home, hospice, church or community space across Ottawa and nearby communities.
For funeral homes, hospices & grief groups
Offer your families something they can hold on to
Memorial keepsake sessions are a meaningful addition to your aftercare and grief support programs. I bring everything and guide each participant from start to finish.
- Group sessions for grieving families and support groups
- A series of 1-hour sessions that fits into weekly grief groups
- Holiday remembrance events and memorial gatherings
- Private sessions for individual families
