Knitted Hearts for memory boxes

Memory boxes give families a special place to keep treasured reminders of someone they love, offering comfort during a difficult time and in the days ahead.

The handmade hearts come in pairs. The smaller heart stays with their loved one, while the larger heart goes home with the family, giving them something to hold and keep close.

We are grateful to everyone who makes these hearts. The time and care you put into each one helps us offer families something personal when it matters most.
