How the partnership works

Our partnership gives families access to handcrafted memorials without adding work to your staff. Most partners tell us families appreciate having this option — and directors appreciate not having to manage it.

Why Funeral Homes Choose Sands of Time

A simple, thoughtful way to offer families something deeply personal.

Sands of Time gives funeral homes a meaningful memorial resource for families looking for something personal, handcrafted, and lasting. We work directly with families throughout the memorial process while keeping the partnership experience simple, supportive, and easy for funeral directors and staff.

Compassionate family support

Families communicate directly with our team for memorial guidance, artwork selection, questions, and support throughout the process.

No inventory or fulfillment required

Funeral homes are not responsible for stocking products, handling fulfillment, or managing the memorial creation process.

Clear guidance for families

Families receive clear instructions and direct support throughout the memorial process, including guidance for safely sending cremation ashes to our artists.

Partner Dashboard & Referrals

Track referrals, orders & commissions

Sands of Time provides funeral home partners with a private dashboard for referral activity, order notifications, and commission tracking.
