Our Story

Hi, I'm Kim, and I’m truly glad you’re here.

Sunrise Keepsakes was born from personal loss, the sudden passing of my mom and the heartbreaking goodbyes to many beloved pets. I know how heavy grief can feel, and I also know the comfort that can come from keeping their memory close.

That's why I offer personalized memorial gifts and sympathy keepsakes for people and pets, pieces designed to honor those we love and offer comfort when it's needed most.

Whether you're looking for a special way to remember someone you love or searching for a thoughtful sympathy gift for someone who is grieving, I hope you find something here that helps express what can sometimes be difficult to put into words.

Why Sunrise Keepsakes

I’m the founder and wearer of many hats behind Sunrise Keepsakes, and I personally handle every order with care. Each order is thoughtfully reviewed because I understand how much these keepsakes can mean to the person receiving them.

I also share personal reflections on grief, healing, and remembrance through my blog - Sass & Sorrow, along with a little Gen-X perspective for the rough days. My goal, whether through a keepsake or something I share, is to offer comfort, connection, and a reminder that the people and pets we love remain part of our story.

A Little About Me

I’m a proud pet mom to dogs and cats, an animal advocate and rescue volunteer, and someone who appreciates the simple things in life. Give me a beautiful sunrise or sunset, birds at the feeder, flowers in bloom, and my animals nearby, and I’m happy.

Early mornings outside are my favorite. I love watching the birds, seeing the dogs enjoy themselves, and wandering around checking on my flowers. Sometimes it’s peaceful, sometimes it’s complete chaos (usually thanks to the animals), but I wouldn’t have it any other way. And in those quieter moments, I often feel closest to the people and pets I’ve loved and lost.

Thank you for being here. It truly means more than you know.
