Time of your Life

Ever wanted to share special times of your life,

but not sure how to put it into words?

Time of Your Life is a package for anyone who wants to share special life stories with family and future generations. It may be a collection of special memories and achievements, a single event or trip; or a brief life timeline.

Writing your memoirs can seem daunting, but recounting a short tale can be done easily over a cuppa with our interviewer. We’ll then produce a printed booklet, or an electronic document that you can share with family and future generations. It can also act as a ‘living eulogy’ with your stamp of approval for a celebration of your life at some future time.

You could even build a collection of short stories over time, as some of our clients have already begun to do.

The Process and What’s Included

• 60 minute interview - friendly, relaxed conversational style with our experienced interviewer (in person, or via telephone or Zoom).

• Preparation of sample interview questions in advance of the interview, so you can think about what you would like to say and prepare.

• One draft document for you to review and request any changes.

• Final editing and formatting of the document.

• Optional extra: Your story printed as a booklet, including a photo.
  (Extra copies can be ordered prior to the time of printing).

• Guaranteed confidentiality and sensitive handling of all information by our professional team. You may request we keep a backup copy of your document, or that all material be permanently removed from our files.
