Keep your presence alive at future special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, weddings by pre-recording a message for your loved ones. What would you like to say on these special occasions?

Are there any quotes or favourite passages from books you’d like to recite and have played to your loved ones? What quotes do you think sums your your life/personality? What special wisdom would you like to leave behind?

What musical era do you love? What was the number one song on the day you were born? Compile a playlist of your favourite music, the songs which best reflect you, and place a link on your Metamorial page, so visitors can listen to the music whish means the most to you and reflects who you are.

Tell your loved ones your life stories. Recollect a favourite memory or occasion, or recant a humorous anecdote. What stories shaped who you are? How did they shape you? Share the little surprising and delightful aspects of your life.

An easy way to talk about your life is to pick a photo from the past and tell the story of how it came to be. Who was there? What was happening? Why was it a special memory?

Remember, perfection is not the aim here. Your loved ones just want to hear your voice, stories, and thoughts into the future. Honesty and authenticity will resonate far more than anything overly formal or rehearsed.
