Memory books

Their whole life, in a book you can hold.

We turn their photos and your memories into a beautiful hardcover book, with their story written in chapters from childhood to the people they loved. Something the whole family can keep.

$200 for the first book, extra copies $125 each. You see the whole book before you pay.

Not just for funerals

A gift for any time

Grief doesn't stop after the funeral. Families order memory books for all kinds of moments, including for someone who died many years ago.

Anniversaries

For the first anniversary, or any year, when the family gathers to remember.

Christmas

A gift for parents, brothers and sisters, so everyone has their own copy.

Birthdays

On the birthday they'd have loved, a way to celebrate them together.

For the grandkids

So children who were too young to remember them can still know who they were.

A sample memory book

This is a sample we made for “Pete”. Every book is designed around one person, so yours will look and read like them.

How it works

Four steps, mostly ours

  1. Share their story

    Fill in the form below with memories, dot points or a voice memo, and a link to their photos.

  2. We write and design

    We write their story in chapters and lay out every page, usually within 3–5 days.

  3. You check every page

    You see the whole book and can ask for changes. Nothing is printed until you approve it.

  4. Pay and receive

    We send a secure PayPal invoice. Once it's paid, your books are printed and posted to you or anyone you choose.

Share as much or as little as you have now. We'll reply within a few hours to talk it through. Nothing is charged until you've approved the finished book.

About you
About them

Where they grew up, love and family, work, what they loved, funny stories. Dot points are perfect.

A line or two from different people, with their name. We'll put these on a “What we'll remember” page.

Photos

A shared Google Photos, Google Drive, iCloud or Dropbox album with up to 40 photos. Old printed photos are fine: photograph them in good light, or we can tell you how to scan them.
