Our Story

Our story starts with our family.

Record of Respect is a family-run business, created from our own experience and our own search to keep the memories of those we love in one place.

We didn’t set out to create an album.

We were simply clearing a family home. Like many families, we thought every Order of Service booklet, memorial card and keepsake was safely tucked away together in one drawer.

It wasn’t.

It wasn’t in one place.

As we packed room after room, we kept finding more.

One in a bedside table. Another in a kitchen cupboard.

A memorial card pressed inside a book. An Order of Service tucked into an old photograph album.

Each one belonged to someone who had shaped our family.

Every booklettells a story.

An Order of Service isn’t just paper.

It’s the final celebration of someone’s life.

It’s filled with names, photographs, favourite poems, hymns, memories and the people who loved them.

Years later, those little booklets become something incredibly valuable.

They remind children of grandparents they barely knew.

They help grandchildren discover family stories.

Yet so often they’re forgotten because there was never a proper place to keep them.

We created Record of Respect because we needed it ourselves.

What began with our own family’s memories became something we hoped could help other families preserve theirs. Bringing the people, stories and moments that matter most together in one special place.


A place to return to.
A place to remember.
A place to pass on.

Created by our family, for yours.

For us. For them. For the future.

We created Record of Respect because we needed it ourselves.

If your family has a drawer like ours once did, we hope it becomes a place where those memories are finally gathered together.

  • Preserved.
  • Remembered.
  • Passed on.
