About Memorial Merits and Our Story…
At Memorial Merits, our story is deeply personal and driven by a heartfelt mission to support those navigating the most challenging moments of their lives. The inspiration behind this resource stems from a journey marked by loss, love, and the desire to make a difference.
Our founder, a Gabriel Killian, active duty in the U.S. Navy, faced the unimaginable when he lost his father while at sea. Limited by time, distance, and resources, he was unable to leave immediately, with little time to grieve and countless crucial decisions to make. In that difficult moment, it became clear how overwhelming it can be to find trustworthy resources, plan services, and manage the practical aspects of loss—all while navigating the emotional complexities of grief.
This experience sparked a vision to create a one-stop resource: a place where families, friends, and loved ones could come together to find not only the best information and guidance on funeral planning and end-of-life preparation but also a supportive space for grieving and healing. At Memorial Merits, we are committed to connecting you with the most reliable and cost-efficient services, helping you make informed choices with peace of mind.
Whether you’re looking to honor a loved one, navigate legal or financial considerations, or find comfort through grief resources for losses big and small, including the passing of a beloved pet, our aim is to be your comprehensive guide. We’re dedicated to ensuring that during your time of need, you can find all the answers, support, and solace in one place—so you can focus on what truly matters: honoring, remembering, and healing.
