Heirloom documentary sessions
Handling the earthly details so you can remain present, now.
I come to your home and record your family telling their stories, one session at a time. Each story stands on its own. Together they become an heirloom.
Obituaries, when you need one
Help with the writing, a place to write it and peer-review it yourselves.
Most families have never written an obituary, and it’s often due in a day or two.
With Me, from $349
Send what you have. I check every name and date, write or edit with you, and handle the newspaper submission.
On Your Own, with Obituate
Write and check it together with family. Free, and it stays in your browser. Optional archive Kit, $149.
Heirlooms, made by hand.
Every life is a big story, and the people in these pieces trusted me with theirs. So you won’t see their faces or names here, only the shape of the work. It starts as a conversation, not an interview, and what comes out of it can be a film, a bound book, letterpress, or a place online.
