How the Memorial Keepsake works

01

Create a space for memories

Begin by organizing chapters that reflect the many dimensions of their life—from early years and family relationships to careers, passions, and the impact they made on others. Create a structure that honours the fullness of who they were.

02

Gather stories from those who knew them

Invite family members, friends, colleagues, and others whose lives they touched to share their own memories and perspectives. Thoughtful prompts guide contributors through meaningful reflection, helping everyone capture the stories, moments, and qualities that made your loved one unforgettable.

03

Build a lasting tribute together

As memories pour in from different corners of their life, watch a complete portrait emerge. Enrich the memorial with cherished photographs, organize stories by theme or timeline, and create a beautiful tribute that celebrates their life, comforts those grieving, and preserves their legacy for future generations.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Keepsake memorial book is a collaborative tribute that brings together memories, stories, and photos from family and friends. It's designed to celebrate your loved one's life by gathering different perspectives, creating a complete portrait that honours their memory and preserves their legacy for future generations.
There's no perfect timeline for grief or remembrance. Some families start immediately while memories are vivid, others wait until they're emotionally ready. The collaborative nature means people can contribute when they feel able, and you can build the memorial book gradually as stories surface and healing progresses.
Keepsake makes it simple to invite family and friends via email or link. You can share specific prompts or let contributors add their own memories. Some people prefer writing privately, while others might want to share stories during family gatherings. The platform accommodates both approaches.
Creating a memorial book can be deeply emotional, and that's okay. Work at your own pace, take breaks when needed, and remember that tears and laughter often go hand in hand when sharing memories. Many families find the process healing, as it focuses on celebrating life rather than loss.
Every life has complexities. Focus on creating an honest but loving tribute. You control what's included, so you can acknowledge challenges while emphasising positive memories and growth. The collaborative approach often helps balance perspectives and create a fuller, more compassionate portrait.
One beautiful aspect of memorial books is uncovering unknown stories. Family friends might share adventures from their youth, colleagues might reveal acts of kindness, or distant relatives might contribute family history. These discoveries become precious gifts that expand your understanding of your loved one's life.
While everyone grieves differently, many families find that creating a memorial book provides purpose during a difficult time. The process of gathering and sharing positive memories can be therapeutic, and the finished book becomes a source of comfort that celebrates life rather than focusing on loss.
