The Stories We Keep

Create a gentle, meaningful space for stories at a funeral, memorial service or celebration of life. The Stories We Keep is a coordinated 22-page A4 printable kit that helps guests contribute in the way that feels right: quiet writing, an optional story circle, photograph labels, collective portrait pages and private messages to the family. Inside the PDF: quick-start and full hosting routes; framed memory-table sign; guest participation menu; guest register; 20 story prompts; pass-friendly story-circle guide; Life in Chapters timeline; Little Things, Places, Soundtrack & Sayings, Six Words and Carry It Forward portrait pages; eight two-up memory cards across four prompt styles; two private family-message cards; four photo labels; archive index; keepsake cover and practical storage guidance. Designed for sensitive, low-pressure use. Guests may write, speak, pass or simply add their name. The wording is non-religious and the pages can be used selectively. Print the complete A4 PDF at home or through a print service; card pages need only one horizontal cut between the two cards. Digital PDF supplied; no editable template or physical item is included.
