A Heartfelt Story Behind Every Bookmark
It’s about you, your family and friends. . .
Celebrating Life Bookmarks began with a single moment of inspiration. Founder Harlyene Goss, during a time of personal loss, saw a laminated obituary that sparked an idea: what if families could preserve memories in a deeply personal, lasting way?
That idea grew into a business serving thousands of families across the U.S. Each bookmark is created with compassion and care, combining beautiful design with spiritual intention. Our bookmarks aren’t just paper keepsakes; they’re small tokens of healing, memory, and love.

About Celebrating Life Bookmarks. . .
It all started when Harlyene Goss saw a laminated obituary from the company, Permanent Record, in Tennessee. They were the originators of laminated obituary bookmarks in 1956. Harlyene was intrigued by the idea and felt with the use of computers; she could offer a much broader selection making each Memorial Bookmark unique to the individual person and family.
Having no money to advertise the Memorial Bookmarks, Harlyene went to newspapers to see if they would add the bookmarks as a service to the obituaries. In time, the newspapers asked her to develop a line of Celebration Bookmarks. The combination of these is what you see in the Celebrating Life Bookmarks.
During this time, Harlyene was also going through a major loss in her life and was looking for any type of coping skills and healing tools. This propelled her into the area of energy healing. Finding a great deal of benefit in doing this energy work, she decided that it needed to be incorporated into the bookmarks.
Every bookmark has an intended energy, whether it be of healing and solace for families or the remembrance of joy. We put a part of our heart into every bookmark we make.
