Capture Life Stories
"In the end, we'll all become stories" Margaret Atwood"
Life stories
Capture your own, or a loved one's life story for future generations. Record details, lessons and personality through our personal and fun style.
Imagine learning the details of your ancestors life? The stories and the fun! Or benefitting from the lessons that life taught them.
Often, people don't feel they have a story to tell, but by telling it, they start to join the dots.
Capturing stories allows important people to be remembered and celebrated.
“You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards” Steve Jobs
Life QR
Bring yourself or a loved one to life with their own site and QR code. Simply scan the code to be taken to their personal page containing favourite quotes, poems, holidays, or music.
The code can also be shared on, favourite places, resting places or on their memoir.
Capture important stories before it's too late - stories last forever.
