A memorial book that holds more than a guest list
A place to gather what was said, what was remembered, and the stories the family does not want to lose.
A memorial book is often put together quickly, in the days when there is least time to think. It usually ends up holding names, dates and a few photographs.
What families tend to wish for later is the rest of it: the stories that were told at the gathering, the ones told only once, the version of a life that lives across several people rather than one.
StoriedLife can be used that way. Family members each have their own conversations, and their memories are written up and gathered into one book rather than scattered across phones and cards.
Three steps, one conversation
Everyone talks
Each family member has their own conversation. Eva asks about the person, listens, and follows the thread wherever it goes.
Memories become chapters
Every account is written up properly, so the same story told three ways becomes three chapters rather than a muddle.
One book for the family
The chapters, the photographs and any recordings are gathered into one book, and copies can be printed for whoever wants one.
What you get
What it costs
Unlimited conversations, the written life story and the digital book are included. A printed softcover is $49 and a hardcover $69. Thirty-day money-back guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
What is a memorial book?
A memorial book is a lasting record of someone's life, usually gathering photographs, memories and tributes from the people who knew them. It differs from a funeral guest book, which mainly records who attended.
What should go in a memorial book?
Most families include the story of the life itself, the memories other people hold, photographs, and anything in the person's own words. Small, specific memories tend to matter more later than formal biography.
Can several family members contribute?
Yes, and it is usually better when they do. Each person has their own conversation, and the accounts are gathered into one book.
How much does a memorial book cost?
StoriedLife is $129.95 a year, including the conversations, the written chapters and the digital book. Printed copies are $49 for a softcover and $69 for a hardcover.
