Living Stories
Protect your family's stories before time runs out. A Living Memoir, Living Letters, and a Living Address, filmed with care for the people who will need them most.
Living Memoir
The Gift of a Lifetime
While life insurance leaves money, a Living Memoir leaves something far more valuable: a chance to revisit a loved one. Our team sits down with your loved one and guides them through the development and filming of their life story, preserving their voice, their laugh, and their hard-earned wisdom in a cinematic film your family will treasure for generations.
- Professional, cinematic filmmaking techniques
- Access our exclusive story development tools to easily prepare for filming
- Delivered on USB, DVD, or Blu-ray with digital download links
Living Letters
Ensure Nothing Is Left Unsaid
Living Letters are short, personal video messages recorded now and given later — to a specific person, for a specific moment. They are not highlight reels. They are private keepsakes, and the chance to make sure nothing is left unsaid so a loved one can hear you speak to them directly when it’s needed most.
Each letter is private. Only the intended recipient receives it. No one else gets access.
- Personalized messages for specific loved ones or future milestones
- Professionally filmed and edited to match Living Memoir quality
- Private to the recipient — no one else sees or hears the letter
If ordered alongside a Living Memoir, save $1000.
Living Address
Speak at Your Own Memorial
A Living Address is a chance for you to speak at a gathering of your loved ones, after you have passed. They see you and hear you in the moment they need you most. It is recorded in advance, so the version they watch is the most vibrant one you can leave them.
Do not leave things unsaid. Give them the gift they do not know they can have: you.
- One video, up to 20 minutes
- Filmed wherever you already are
- Delivered to someone you trust
If ordered alongside a Living Memoir, save $1000.

Families Who Chose to Remember
"Now that grandpa has passed, I'm so glad I invested in a Living Memoir. Watching the video and hearing his voice is so wonderful, it's like a piece of him is still here with me."
— Roberta Wardell
"We worked exclusively with Kole Berzenji, who was so helpful and compassionate. The final video was a testament to our Mom's beautiful life. We are so blessed to have this video to add to all our memories."
— Diana Pechthalt
"It feels like watching the lore of my family. I am so happy my son will be hearing those stories from the same voice of his great grandmother that I had of my grandmother growing up."
— Natasha Jewell
