Our Story

Life's most important words deserve to be written with care.

The Mementome was born because we kept seeing the same thing: incredible couples, grieving family members, and expecting parents feeling lost when it was time to put their love into words. Wedding vows are notoriously difficult to write, even for soulmates. Eulogies can be heartbreaking to put together.

How can you capture a lifetimes’ worth of love for a loved one into one short speech?

These are the moments that define our lives—the promises we make, the people we honor, the joy we share—and yet we're expected to just know how to write them when the pressure is at its peak. It is impossible to find the perfect words while overwhelmed with emotion, logistics, family dynamics, and unbearable pressure.

As a team of writers, poets, illustrators, and consultants, we find clarity in the act of creation and inscription. We know what it feels like to sit in front of a blank page, paralyzed by the weight of the moment. You blink at the cursor and the cursor blinks back. What on earth do you say and how do you say it?

This business exists because grief and celebration are both sacred, and neither one comes with instructions. We are here to honor the magnitude of the moment.

We are here to inscribe the most pivotal moments of your lives with words and stanzas and inscriptions that feel like you.

Writing is an act of reverence. It's how we make sense of love and loss. It's how we turn feelings into ceremony. And sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for yourself is let someone else help you find the words.
