How Story Gathering Works

Begin at whatever pace works for your family. Guided sessions happen on your schedule. Stories accumulate. Order products from your archive whenever you're ready. No deadline.

1

Begin at $200/Session

Get started online. Tell us about your loved one's location: their assisted living facility, adult family home, or their own home.

2

We Coordinate With the Storyteller

Our team reaches out to confirm scheduling, whether your loved one is at a facility, at home, or somewhere else. We handle all the coordination. No effort required from you.

3

Sessions Begin at Your Chosen Pace

A trained interviewer leads a warm, unhurried session at whatever frequency you've chosen, drawing out memories, names, places, and the stories your loved one hasn't told in years.

4

Your Archive Grows

Every session is added to your private family archive. Listen any time. Submit story prompts through your portal to guide what gets asked next month.

5

Order Legacy Products Any Time

Whenever you're ready, order a produced memorial video, printed story book, podcast, QR-code keepsake, or raw audio feed, built from your accumulated archive.

What a Story Session Sounds Like

This is a 43-second curated highlight drawn from John's first session. You'll hear him in his own words: introducing his family, reflecting on 52 years of marriage and a broadcasting career spanning the same, and sharing what matters most to him. His family gave permission to share it.

The full session runs about 5 minutes. The highlight fades between moments so you get a sense of his voice and the depth of what he shared. Every session is warm, natural, and unhurried.

Frequently Asked Questions

In-person, guided audio story-gathering sessions, up to one hour each, conducted at your loved one's location. Each session is $200. You choose how often: bi-monthly, monthly, or bi-weekly. Every session is recorded into your private family archive, including full access to the family portal where you can submit story prompts, listen to sessions, and order legacy products when you're ready.
All sessions already in your archive remain accessible. Stories you've collected are yours. Cancellation stops future sessions but does not remove anything from your archive. Any products you've ordered are also unaffected.
Once stories are in your archive, you can order: a professionally produced memorial video, a printed and bound story book, a produced podcast (polished episodes built from raw sessions), a QR-code keepsake (engraved plaque or stone that links to the audio), or a private raw audio feed (unedited session recordings). Products are ordered separately.
Our interviewers are trained to work with older adults at all cognitive levels, including those with Alzheimer's and mid-stage dementia. We slow down, follow your loved one's lead, and find the moments of clarity that exist even in advanced memory conditions. If sessions aren't a good fit, you can cancel at any time. No penalty, no pressure.
In nearly all cases, yes. We present a simple introduction to the facility's activities team and handle all coordination ourselves. Facilities typically welcome the program as a meaningful, low-effort resident activity.
A trained interviewer draws out stories that don't surface naturally in family visits: the childhood details, the pivotal decisions, the moments your loved one has never told anyone. We also trim and streamline each conversation so what ends up in your archive is clear and meaningful, not an hour of filler. And we keep showing up every month, even when your family can't. That consistency is what builds a real archive.

Their stories won't wait.

Sessions are $200 each. Choose your cadence: bi-monthly, monthly, or bi-weekly. Your archive grows with every session. When your family is ready, order a memorial video, book, or keepsake.
