15 July 2026,tributes, how it works

How to make a tribute for any occasion

A birth, a wedding, a retirement, a life. A tribute is the free, five-minute way to gather a moment and everyone's voice in one place.

Not every moment needs a whole book. Sometimes you just want to mark a day, a birth, a wedding, a graduation, a retirement, a life, and gather everyone's photos and messages in one place before they scatter across group chats and phones.

That is what a tribute is for, and it is free.

One page, many hands

A tribute is a single shared page rather than a chaptered book. You add entries, each one a photo and a few lines, and you invite the people who were there to add their own. There is no structure to learn: the entries themselves are the story, in whatever order reads best.

The magic is in the contributions. When everyone at a wedding or a leaving-do adds their own memory, the page becomes something no single person could have made.

When a moment becomes a story

A tribute captures a moment. A book tells the whole story. Plenty of tributes stay exactly as they are, a perfect record of one day. But some grow: the birth tribute becomes the first chapter of a childhood, the memorial becomes a full life story. When that happens, you move up to a book and keep going.

Make one in five minutes

We wrote a short manual on the whole thing, what tributes suit, who can contribute, and how one grows into a book, in the tribute guide.

Or just make one now. Pick the occasion, add the first photo, and send the link to the people who should see it.

Don’t let their story go untold

Start preserving the life of someone you love. It only takes a moment to begin.
