A guest book for a memorial or celebration of life. A wildflower meadow and a small dove are engraved on the wooden cover under “A Life Beautifully Remembered”, with the name and the dates below; those who come add a photo and a memory on the blank pages, and the family keeps the book.

What you get

• A photo guest book with engraved wooden front and back covers (“A Life Beautifully Remembered”, a wildflower meadow with a small dove, the name and the dates), a vegan leather spine and metal screw-post binding
• Blank pages for instant photos, signatures and notes: 85 lb cardstock in white, cream or black with 25, 45 or 55 sheets, or 30 lb standard white paper with 45 or 60 sheets
• Two sizes: Small 8.65″ × 6″ and Large 12.15″ × 8.6″
• Three wood colors (Jacobean, Hazelnut, Natural), seven binding colors and gold, black or silver screws
• The name and the dates engraved on the cover exactly as you enter them in the builder

Sizes

Both sizes take instant photos with room for a signature or a note beside each one; the Large book gives everyone more space. The 85 lb cardstock is the thick, durable choice for instant photos and marker pens; the 30 lb standard paper suits handwritten notes and signatures. Attach your photos with photo corners or photo-safe tape; the pages have no pockets or adhesive strips.

Personalize it in the builder

Choose your Book Size, then the Wood Color, the Paper (sheet count and color), the Binding Color of the vegan leather spine and the Screw Color. Type the Name, for example “JAMES A. WILSON”, and the Dates, for example “1948-2026” or a single date. “A Life Beautifully Remembered” and the meadow stay as pictured. We engrave exactly what you type, nothing added and nothing removed, so please read your entries twice. Add signing markers (black or gold) if you need them, and use Additional Notes for layout wishes or to ask for a digital proof.

Included, shipping and care

You receive the personalized book with the paper you chose; photos, cameras, pens and the styling in the pictures are not included unless you add markers in the builder. Every book is made to order in 1–3 business days, ships with free express shipping and is delivered in about 3–4 business days. Keep it away from damp and direct sun, wipe the covers with a soft dry cloth, and let marker ink dry before you close the book.

Wood is a natural material: grain and tone vary a little from board to board, so the swatches and photos are a close guide, not an exact match. Lifestyle scenes are AI-generated; the book in them is our real product.
