A memorial built by everyone who loved them
The richest memorials are never written by one person. Siblings remember the childhood you have forgotten. Old friends hold stories from before you were born. Cherished Book is made for many hands, so the whole of a life can be gathered in one place.
Many voices, one place
When someone dies, their memories end up held alone, on separate phones and in separate heads. A collaborative memorial brings them together. You invite the people who knew them, and each person adds what only they can: a story, a photograph, a few lines of thanks. What comes back is often more than any one person could have written.
Distance stops mattering. A grandchild in another country, a friend who moved away decades ago, a colleague who saw a side of them the family never did, all of them can take part from wherever they are.
