Our passion for people
and their stories
Who we are
Founded in Melbourne, Australia, in 2014, Memories has grown to serve over 50 countries worldwide. Our platform is dedicated to preserving the important and meaningful memories of people, ensuring that they are cherished for generations to come.
Our mission
Memories began with a mission to transform how we commemorate a life well-lived, starting with live stories and online memorials. Now, we've expanded our services to the funeral industry, offering a comprehensive suite of tools and services to make the process of honoring loved ones easier.
Our goal is to offer individuals, families, and funeral service industries a place to connect, remember, and celebrate the lives of their loved ones. With a focus on delivering the best possible funeral service experience for families, we combine innovative technology with compassionate service. Our goal is to simplify and enrich the process of memorialisation, making it more accessible and meaningful for all involved.
What makes us special
We're here to protect the memories that mean the world to you, making sure they last for generations to come.
From funeral live streaming to obituary templates designed to simplify writing, we're here to support every step of the journey. Our tribute pages serve as a collaborative space for the funeral industry and families to share memories and celebrate the lives of those they've lost. With our digital guest book feature, sharing condolences and messages is as simple as a QR code scan. And with our online memorials, we provide a central hub to collect all digital assets, ensuring they're preserved for generations to come.
Begin your journey today!
Join us at Memories, where we continue to remember and celebrate the lives that matter most. Together, we'll honor the lives of those we love and ensure that their legacies live on
