Every Family Has a Story Worth Keeping
Made by hand in Alabama
Pieces Made to Be Passed Down
Homegoing
Simple. Personal. Meaningful.
How It Works
Four simple steps, and we’re with you the whole way.
- 1Pick a piece
Start with the moment you’re honoring: a homegoing, a wedding, a reunion, a graduation.
- 2Tell us about them
Send their name, a few photos, a note in their handwriting or a voicemail you saved. We’ll help with the rest.
- 3See it first
We send you a proof. Nothing gets engraved until you love it.
- 4We make it by hand
We engrave it, fill it with gold, box it up and ship it to you free.
About us
We Keep Your People
We’re a Black-owned business in Alabama. Some of the most precious things a family owns are a funeral program, a handwritten recipe or an old voicemail you can’t bring yourself to delete. We started Etched Legacy to give those things a home.
Every piece we make starts with a conversation about the person you love. Then we make something worthy of them, by hand, one at a time.
Paved the Way
Honoring Those Who Came Before
Etched Legacy is a Black-owned business built on remembrance. Every week we share the story of a pioneer who paved the way, especially the ones the history books left out, and we help families honor the pioneers in their own family tree.
The Paved the Way Scholarship
Each year we award a scholarship to a Black high school senior or HBCU student who tells the story of an ancestor or unsung pioneer who paved the way for them. A share of every order funds it.
Applications open February 1, 2027. The winner is announced on Juneteenth.
