What is an Almorial?
We get asked this a lot,
“Why is it called an Almorial?”
Fair question.
It’s not in the dictionary and spellcheck hates it.
We tried the obvious names.
The safe ones. The ones that sounded fine in a meeting and empty everywhere else.  None of them fit.
At some point, we realized we were asking the wrong question. We stopped trying to name a product and asked ourselves what it represents to the families we’re trying to help.
Almorial is inspired by the Latin almus (“nourishing, kind, fostering) and memoria (“memory”), evoking the idea of a nourishing memory or healing impression. Almorial is a name chosen to reflect the emotional support and lasting imprint of our hand impressions.Â
We don’t take this task lightly because the families you serve don’t take it lightly either.
So, if the name makes you pause and ask what it means, that’s not an accident.
