Laurie Garcia
Office Manager/ Folder Designer
Laurie joined Sherman-Campbell Funeral Home in 2021 as the secretary/office manager and folder designer.
For 35 years I told stories through a camera lens, capturing moments so people could feel as much as they could see.
Four years ago I carried that storyteller’s eye into a new calling: creating bespoke memorial folders. What she does for families.
Personalized memorial folders
Every design is built from scratch for the person being honored.
I weave together family-chosen photos with meaningful backdrops—waterfalls, coastlines, forests—so each folder feels like a visual love-letter to a life.
Layout, color, and composition draw on my decades of photography to balance beauty with emotional resonance.
Story-driven details
I listen for recipes, sayings, poems, hobbies—anything that whispers “this was them.”
These intimate touches turn a program into a keepsake families return to long after the service.
How I approach the folders
Presence – I give each family and loved one my full attention, honoring their story with reverence.
Artistry – Years behind the camera trained my eye for light, texture, and composition; I translate that into print.
Empathy without accumulation – I feel each story deeply while I’m creating, then release it to stay grounded for the next family.
Why it matters
These folders and words are often the first tangible thing a family holds after loss. My goal is to hand them something that quietly says:
“Your person mattered. Here is their story—held with care, beauty, and respect.”
That sacred intersection of art and grief is where I work, one life at a time.
