A memorial book from everyone's voice messages.
Everyone who knew them records a memory on their own phone from one link. We write out every voice message, and the family gets a printed hardcover with each memory under the name of the person who shared it.
Gathering is free. You only pay when the book is ready.

Questions people ask
Does Chorus transcribe the voice messages automatically?
Yes. Each one is written out as it arrives, and you can correct any word before the book prints.
Can I add old voice notes or WhatsApp audio of them?
Yes. Add them when you start the book. They're written out like everyone's memories, and their own voice plays first.
Can family abroad record a memory?
Yes. The link works in any country, on a phone or a laptop, with no app and no account.
Can it be ready for the funeral?
You can play every voice at the service from the podcast link as soon as you order. The printed book takes three weeks.
