Funeral keepsakes have become a popular trend and a wonderful way to for family and friends to honour your loved one. Funerals are a challenging, time for people as they come to terms with the loss of someone close to them. However, it is important to remember that a funeral is a celebration of their life, not of their death.
As a result, funeral favours and mementoes have gained popularity as a way for families to remember their loved ones how they would have liked. Keepsakes can be given away at funerals, memorials, or life celebration events.
