Ask while there's time
The best time to record a life is while it is still being lived. We make the asking effortless.
Our Story
We started with one question we asked too late.
Our founder recorded seven minutes of his grandfather's voice on a cracked phone, three weeks before he passed. Seven minutes. Everything else — the shipyard years, the crossing, the reason for the name — went quiet. Always Memorial exists so no family has to settle for seven minutes.
A Personal Historian, not another app to learn.
We tried the questionnaires, the scanners, the shoeboxes. They all failed for the same reason: they asked the storyteller to do the work. So we inverted it. A weekly prompt arrives by text. They talk. We do the rest — transcription, context, citations, binding, printing, and the archive your grandchildren will inherit.

Truth over invention
Every answer is anchored to a real recording. If we can't cite it, we don't say it.
File over App
Your Generational Archive belongs to your family, in open formats, on hardware you hold.
The family decides
Approval queues, not algorithms, determine what becomes part of the record.
