Keepsake MeA celebration-of-life memory book the whole family builds
When someone dies, their memory lives in many people at once, in pieces. A shared memory book gives those pieces one place to gather — a photo, a story, a few spoken words from everyone who loved them.
Gathering memories from everyone who loved them
No one person holds the whole of someone's life. A memory book lets family and friends each add what they carry — a photograph, a story, a small moment — so the pieces come together instead of staying scattered.
Each memory becomes its own card in a deck. Together they make something the family can keep and return to, and share with anyone who was part of that person’s life.
A gentle way to invite people to share
You create the book and send a private link to whoever you'd like to include. They add their memory in their own time — a photo, a few words, and, if they wish, a short spoken message. There's no account to make and nothing to learn.
Everything comes to you first, so you can look through what people have shared before it becomes part of the book. You can do this in the weeks around a service, or quietly in the months after, whenever you and the family are ready.
A few words in your own voice
Some memories are easier spoken than written. On any card, a person can record a short message in their own voice — a story, a thank-you, a goodbye — kept alongside their photo and words.
A place the family can keep
The finished book is a private link the family holds and can pass on. It isn't public and isn't searchable — only the people you share the link with can open it, and you can add a code if you'd like another layer of privacy.
Gentle prompts, if they help
People sometimes want a place to start. A moment with them you think of often. Something they always said. A photograph you’re glad you have. What you learned from them. There is no right length and no wrong memory.
If you’d like something to hold
The book is digital — a link, nothing that needs printing or posting. If a physical keepsake would mean something, you can choose the photo magnet when you create it: a printed 4×6 magnet with a code that opens the book. It is entirely optional.
Questions families ask
How do family and friends add their memories?
Each person opens a private link and adds a photo, a few words, and a spoken message if they'd like — no account needed.
Is there a deadline? Can we take our time?
You can gather memories at whatever pace feels right, in the weeks around a service or the months after. When the book is ready, you seal it to share it, so it's best to collect everything before that step.
Can someone record a spoken message?
Yes. On any card, a person can record a short message in their own voice, alongside their photo and words.
Who can see it?
Only people with the private link. It isn't public or searchable, and you can add a code for another layer of privacy.
Is there anything physical?
If you'd like, you can choose the photo magnet — a printed 4×6 magnet with a code that opens the book. It's optional; the book itself is a link you share.
When you’re ready
There is no rush. When it feels right, you can start a memory book and gather everyone’s memories in one place.
