Forever Here memorialises your life story through the power of multimedia and storytelling.

We believe there is more to a person’s life than what can be conveyed through a traditional plaque or gravestone.

There are memories and stories, which can be treasured through photos and videos, and told through conversations.

The way you choose to create your digital legacy or honour the life of your loved one is completely up to you.

OUR APPROACH TO YOUR STORYTELLING

Through Forever Here, you can make an online profile to share your journey, which can be updated at any time with details and multimedia content.

Virtual

We can also use photos and video/audio to create a compelling multimedia piece that you and your family can cherish forever.

In Person

Additionally, you are welcome to come into our studio so that we can capture your life story in an interview-style format.

Our technology team will also explain how we ensure that your video and audio content is safe, secure and always accessible to you and the generations to come.
