About Me

Welcome to Roots of Remembrance!

Roots of Remembrance is a heartfelt small business based in the Rapid City, SD area. The name was born from a deep desire to preserve the memories of special moments—whether it's the bond formed through breastfeeding, or the love felt when losing a pet or loved one.

My passion for preserving these memories began with my own personal journey. Struggling with breastfeeding my second child, I found comfort in having a physical reminder of the tears, sacrifices, and love poured into nurturing my child. Around the same time, I lost my beloved Chloe, an 8-year-old Boxer. I longed for a way to keep her close, even after her passing. Unfortunately, the place where I had her cremated didn’t offer a jewelry keepsake. That moment sparked my desire to create a way for others to preserve their own meaningful memories, offering them a tangible connection to their loved ones.

In addition to running Roots of Remembrance, I work full-time as a dental hygienist. Balancing my career with this small business allows me to pour my heart into each piece I create, knowing how meaningful these keepsakes are. I’m dedicated to providing you with a personal, thoughtful experience. This business is my passion project, and I truly love helping others preserve their cherished memories.

At Roots of Remembrance, I promise to handle your breast milk, ashes, and keepsakes with the utmost care and respect. Any leftover ashes will be returned to you, ensuring that every part of your memory is preserved.
