What is a Living / Life Tribute?
Our Living Tributes are Life Tributes You Can Gift and Share Now!
To understand why we created this service, imagine you are attending a funeral for someone lost too soon, and hearing these words from a Loving Parent, Sibling or Spouse as they work through the loss;
"I wish I had done this years ago. It would have been nice to share all this joy together!"
We've witnessed firsthand the regret of words not spoken, emotions not shared and we've experienced the positive that comes from creating and sharing Life Tributes!
We encourage you not to wait.
Tomorrow always comes, but we have no guarantee we'll be here to experience it!
Choose your Special Moment, make it now, and share the times of your lives (together).
Strengthen the memories of the good times and make new memories as you re-live the joys of the past.
It's a collection of images and sound that tell the story of lives well lived.
An expression of how you feel about someone you love. It tells a story of their life in a way that's sure to bring tears of joy. It's a project that pays tribute to someone who has made a lasting impact.
These projects are usually created to celebrate a Birthday or other Mile Stone. Sometimes when we lose someone significant to us, they help us work through the grieving process and bring joy at a time when joy seems unlikely.
Our Living / Life Tribute is so much more than a collection of pictures, videos and other media.
It demonstrates your relationship with people you care about, expresses your appreciation for the unique qualities that make them who they are. It's one of a very few treasured ways to Celebrate Life, Celebrate Friendship and Family.
It's a way to say; "I see you for who you are, I Respect You and I Love You!"
Although these projects can result in a Video Tribute that serves as a final farewell for a memorial service, this is not it's primary purpose. Most Funeral Homes have fast, easy and inexpensive options that let you create simpler presentations for that now. Our Productions are meant for more, take longer to create and cost more.
It's a specialty service we've been providing for many years.
What is a Biography or Autobiography?
More than a Tribute, the Biography Tells an In-Depth Personal History
For some of us, it's simply a matter of having the final word, (because that's just who we are),
but there are many other reasons to consider preparing your Life Story to share with your Friends and Family now and write the final chapter to deliver when you are no longer able.
- Ease the burden as they deal with their loss. Enable them to Celebrate Your Life!
- Speak to them one more time. Tell them how you feel and Celebrate the Life you had Together.
- Set the mood for your Life Celebration. Leave no doubt how they can best remember you.
Next time you're at a Memorial service, listen to how many people watching the Life Tribute say, "I never knew that about Uncle Fred or Aunt Sally"
It's astounding how life gets so busy that we discover the people we know had so much more to share with us.
Why not share those mysteries and memories when you can enjoy them together?
Your Autobiography provides an opportunity to share your life stories. Fill it with 8/16mm Films, Slides, Photos, Certificates, News Clippings, Diplomas and any other imagery (we have lots of unique ideas) that tell a story about your life.
Do your children know your first pet? Your Best Friend from High School? Where you had your first kiss, your first heart break? Have they seen the tree you fell out of and broke your arm? Take them on a walk through a day, week, month or several years in your life. Do it now!
We can show you how and help you build it so you are free to concentrate on writing the story.
The complete Autobiography project is not a low cost service and it's not for everyone!
Once you begin the process of an Autobiography you will realize how much time and effort is required to tell your story and you will begin to understand why it's so important that you do.
Project start-up consultation is $600 and project budgets should be expected to run from $3,500 to $9,500 typically, with you committing hundreds of hours to the process to keep costs this low. It's not unusual for highly accomplished, community active individuals to build projects that far exceed these numbers because cost is a matter of time and effort and the bigger the story, the more time is involved.
Living Tributes and Autobiographies make Life Tribute creations simple too.
Creating our own presentation in advance of our time provides opportunity to tell our story first hand, include messages of encouragement for our children and others so our legacy is supported in our own words.
One last gift, delivered when we're gone!
We do what we do because we believe in it! When we say 'for all the right reasons', we mean it.
Thank you for the opportunity to earn your trust and share in the documentation of your Family Memories!
