Memory, Life Tribute, and Life Story Books
Your Memories Matter.
Preserve Your Memories and Stories for Future Generations.
What is a Memory & Life Tribute Book?
A memory and life tribute book is a beautifully crafted collection of stories, photographs, letters, and memories that celebrates someone's life journey. Unlike traditional memoirs, these books focus on preserving the essence of a person through the eyes of those who love them most, combining personal narratives with contributions from family members, friends, and colleagues who have been touched by their story.
Honor parents, grandparents, or mentors while they're here to enjoy the tribute. Present it at milestone birthdays, anniversaries, or retirement celebrations. Nothing compares to seeing their face light up as they discover how deeply their life has impacted others. Capture the stories that bind your family together before they're lost to time. Interview elderly relatives, gather old photographs, and weave together the narrative threads that connect past to present to future. Your family will love reading through all the stories and browsing the family pictures for years to come.

Why Memory Books Matter More Than Ever
Stories disappear faster than we realize. Family stories often live only in aging minds and scattered photo albums. One generation's passing can erase decades of history, leaving families with gaps they can never fill. Memory books ensure these precious stories survive and thrive.
That box of old photographs becomes infinitely more valuable when accompanied by the stories behind each image. Who are these people? What were they thinking? What happened next? Memory books transform silent pictures into speaking portraits.
A memory or life tribute book is a wonderful way to commemorate a milestone or special occasion. Maybe you want a special gift for your spouse on your 25th wedding anniversary or for your parents on their 50th. Maybe it's your grandfather's 80th birthday or a special occasion like a loved one's retirement. A tribute book can also be a wonderful keepsake to preserve the memories of someone you've lost, focusing on their special traits and the contributions they made to the lives of others.
Many people want to document their life stories or pay tribute to a loved one, but the prospect of writing and pulling together a book is daunting. WDP can make the process easy. We help you document the details, and then we can pull it all together into a beautiful Life Tribute book.
