The Memorial Book
So his story doesn't leave with him.
You weren't the only one who knew him. Everyone in the family carries a piece — an anecdote, a photo, a phrase he always used. Meminto collects those pieces and turns them into a book.

Why now
The memories are still there. They're just getting quieter.
One day, “Tell me that story again” can become a question nobody can answer. Meminto brings those answers forward today and preserves them as stories to keep.
“My grandfather died in 2021, in the middle of the pandemic. I invited my whole family to write down some of his stories on their computers and phones. Wonderful anecdotes came back, along with very old photographs I had never seen. That is how Meminto began.”
— Albert, founder
What you receive
A memorial book is not a photo album
A photo album shows what someone looked like. A Memorial Book tells you what he was like. Meminto asks your family questions about him; everyone answers when and however they can, by voice or in writing. The answers, photographs and voices become a printed book you can pass on. You do not have to write it alone, or know how to begin.
What did he always say when something went wrong?
Would your brother give the same answer?
How your Memorial Book comes together
Your family gathers what each person remembers about the person who died. Meminto guides you gently from the first question to the printed book.
01The questions are ready
Meminto suggests the questions that carry a life story. You can adapt, remove or add any question.
Flexibly adapt the questions.
02Invite family and friends
Every week, your loved one receives a new question by app, email or phone call. They simply start telling. Those who prefer writing can type.
At the pace that suits you.
03Answers become a book
Each answer becomes a chapter. Once enough has been told, the book goes to print: a matte 5.8 × 8.3-inch hardcover, printed in full colour.
Memories become pages.
04The family reads, hears and sees
Every story is immediately there for the whole family. In the printed book, a QR code leads back to the real voice. The e-book can be shared worldwide.
The memory stays alive.

You do not have to find the words alone
Many questions nobody thinks to ask
At first, nobody knows what to write. Meminto asks gently, at your pace, one question at a time.
- 01
What did her voice sound like when she was delighted?
- 02
What could he do that nobody else could?
- 03
What was your first thought when you heard the news?
- 04
Which piece of his advice do you still follow?
You remain in control
Adapt or skip any question
Some questions arrive too soon. Set them aside, rewrite them or add your own. Nobody has to answer something they are not ready for.

Voices from families
Memories families keep close
4.8 / 5
“I am extremely happy that I was able to preserve my late brother’s stories and poems with Meminto before they are forgotten. The support from Meminto has been amazing.
“We started a Meminto when my mother was still alive and we made a lot of audio recordings. Now I listen to it from the book every time I miss her. The Meminto team has faithfully helped for over a year. It was fun!
“When my grandpa died, my whole family, 17 people in total, created this book. We simply answered questions about his life. I was able to read so many new stories about him that I didn’t know yet!
What remains of a voice
The voice message you never deleted gets its place.
Somewhere on a phone there is still a voice message. A clip from that last Christmas. A song he always sang. Next to any story in the book sits a QR code: hold your phone against it and the voice is there again. You decide when you want to hear it—but you never have to fear losing it.

What families ask about the Memorial Book
We are planning the funeral. Is now the right time?
There is no right or wrong time. Many families begin weeks or months later. If you have a date in mind, allow around 10–12 days for printing after approval.
Does the whole family have to take part?
No. You can begin on your own and invite others whenever it feels right. Every additional memory enriches the book, but nobody has to take part.
What if we have only a few photographs?
A deeply personal book can take shape without many photographs. Stories, small details and voices give it depth; you can add images at any time.
Can we include voice messages from the person who died?
Yes. Existing voice and video messages can remain reachable through QR codes in the printed book, so their voice stays part of the memory.
How many copies can we print?
As many as your family needs. You can reorder additional copies after the first print; they start at US$49.
Can we pause and continue later?
Yes. You have up to two years to fill your book at your own pace. Your answers, photographs and media remain saved.
How does Meminto work in the browser – and is there an app?
