Home / Occasions / Celebrations of life

Gather the stories while everyone is together.

Friends, family, and coworkers each record a short memory on their own phone, at the service or from wherever they are. Every message is kept in one gallery for the family, with nothing to set up at the venue.

TEN MINUTES TO SET UP · NOTHING FOR GUESTS TO INSTALL

in loving memory of Robert Ellis

Made for everyone with a story to share.

For those who couldn't come

Send the link by text or email so relatives and old friends anywhere can share a memory.

Stories you haven't heard

People share the small stories they'd never tell at the podium. The family gets to hear them all.

Something to return to

Every message is saved with the person's name, ready whenever the family wants to watch.

What your guests could scan.

The line above the name, the name, and the message to guests are all yours to write — plus your own colors and photo. A few starting points:

in loving memory of
Robert Ellis
Share a favorite memory of Bob.

Help guests know what to share.

A gentle, specific question makes it easier to know what to say than "leave a message."

Make it easy to find.

What happens next.

Your page is ready and the link is out. From here, guests share in their own time — you don't need to do anything until you're ready to watch.

01

Guests scan or tap

They scan the code on the table or tap the link you texted or emailed. The recording page opens right in their browser — no app, no login.

02

They record

They type their name, the front camera opens, a short countdown runs, and they have up to 60 seconds to share a memory.

03

They send it

One tap sends the clip straight to your gallery, their name attached automatically.

04

You keep every one

Messages show up in your gallery as they come in. Download them all whenever you're ready.

Good to know.

Can people who can't attend share a memory?

Yes. Send the text or email link, or add it to the service announcement. Messages collect in your gallery as they're sent.

Who should set it up?

Anyone helping with the arrangements — a family member or a close friend. They can download the messages and share them with the family.

How does the family get the videos?

Every message is in the host gallery with the person's name and time attached. Download them all whenever you're ready.

Do guests need to download an app?

No. They scan the QR code, tap a text link, or open an email link and the recording page opens in their phone's browser. No app, no login.
