Memories held in a hand.

Stones have long represented endurance, strength and our connection to the earth. A memory stone ritual gives family and friends a tangible way to express love, remembrance or hope.

Guests may write a name, date, memory or short message onto individual stones. These can be gathered into a keepsake bowl, placed in a garden or taken to a location that holds special meaning.

At a memorial, each stone can represent a memory that remains. At a wedding or family ceremony, they might hold wishes for the years ahead.

I will gently guide the ritual and find words that bring the individual stones, and the people holding them, together as part of one shared story.
