I lost my father a couple of months ago and while we didn’t want to just box all his things up and pack them away I decided to have a couple of bears made from his favorite polos to keep on our shelves. The team did an amazing job. The quality is amazing and they were very communicative with the process. I can’t say enough good things about the company and bears. Thanks again.
My cousin's son died in an accident five years ago. His best friend recently had a son born and named it after his deceased friend. We had a bear created from the remaining fabric of another Memory Bear and it will be presented as a baby gift soon. The bear was perfectly made and personalized with his name on the feet.
Thrilled with the product. We used my Mother’s favorite clothes that she used to wear. Its a wonderful keepsake of her that will be cherished.
The bear came back, and it looks excellent! Better than anything in a store. My 90 year old mother passed away last April. Her grandson (my nephew) and his wife were expecting a baby in November. My mother was looking forward to seeing her great-granddaughter, which obviously didn't get to happen. While cleaning out her closet, I found one of her favorite sweaters that she often wore. After checking to be sure that my sister didn't want it, I sent it in to have a Memory Bear made of it. It arrived a few weeks later - and my mother's great-grand daughter arrived a couple of weeks after that! Interestingly, the teddy bear even has the smell of my mother's perfume on it! So in a few weeks, the memory bear will be the baby's gift from her great-grandmother; Omi!
Thanks for a GREAT JOB!
The patchwork bear and bunny made for my daughters turned out perfectly! What a precious reminder they have of their beloved aunt. Thank you!! Highly recommend!
Thank you for such a beautifully done product. It shows that you put thought and care into your bears. It was genuinely loved and appreciated. I will certainly recommend and use again.
This difficult process was met with the most efficient and considerate staff! The reality of being in a position to want a memory bear in itself was almost heartbreaking to think about. I tearfully parted with five items of my son's at the post office. I got a reassuring text a few days later that his items had been received. That was so reassuring. They followed up with questions regarding my wishes and were able to make me four bears instead of just the one! They came perfectly packaged and were met with tears of sadness and joy. They turned out perfect! I can't say enough about the care and consideration of this process. It's been almost five and a half years since I lost my oldest son and I will cherish my bear for the rest of my life. Much love to all!!!
