Kit
Heritage Archive: Memorial Archive
Printable insert pages for remembering who they were, what they said, and what they left you
The obituary says they died. This is what captures how they lived.
For the Families who have lost someone and want to document that person's life before the specific memories begin to fade — and the people who want to give a grieving family something that helps
The Name It First Experience
After someone dies, the people who loved them hold all the specific memories: the stories only they know, the details that don't fit in an obituary, the things the person said that everyone swears they will never forget and then slowly do. The Memorial Archive Kit gives grieving families structured prompts to document the life of the person they lost — not the official biography, but the real one. Who they were at home. What they built. What they survived. The way they laughed. The output is a written archive: something to pass down to the people who come after, who will want to know what this person was like when they were alive.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What did this person build or carry in their life that you want to make sure is documented?
- What did they survive or accomplish that they rarely talked about?
- What was this person like at home — the specific version, not the public one?
- What do you want the people who come after — who never got to meet them — to know about this person?
