Creating Lasting Memories with Memorial Booklets from Grata

Every farewell tells a story. And sometimes, those stories deserve more space than a eulogy allows.

We're excited to share our collaboration with Grata, who create beautiful celebration booklets that capture the essence of a life well-lived. Because just as a handwoven coffin honors someone's final journey, these booklets honor their entire story.

Why memorial booklets matter

When you're planning a farewell, you're juggling so many details. But in those quiet moments between decisions, memories surface. The way they laughed at their own jokes. Their famous Sunday roasts. That time they tried to build a shed and it ended up wonky but somehow perfect.

These are the stories that get shared over tea, whispered between family members, written in cards. Grata helps gather these precious fragments into something tangible. Something you can hold onto when the day itself becomes a blur.

A thoughtful complement to sustainable farewells

We've always believed that meaningful farewells come from personal touches. Whether that's weaving part of a loved one's coffin in our workshop or choosing materials that return gently to the earth.

Celebration booklets fit naturally into this approach. They're another way to make a farewell uniquely yours. While our coffins provide a sustainable, handcrafted resting place, these booklets become keepsakes for the living. Together, they create a complete picture: honoring both the person who's passed and the memories that remain.

Making it happen

The process is refreshingly simple. Grata works with you to collect photos, stories, and memories, then creates a professionally designed booklet that can be shared at the service or sent to those who can't attend.

It's one less thing to worry about during an already difficult time. And it ensures those precious stories, the ones that make someone who they truly were, don't get lost in the midst of everything else.

If you'd like to explore creating a celebration booklet alongside your coffin order, we're happy to connect you with the Grata team. Because every life deserves to be remembered beautifully.
