Collecting Memories Without Creating a Long Program
InMemoryStudio ·
A program cannot contain every submitted story. Collect broadly, then select excerpts that represent different parts of the life.
A workable approach
Ask for one moment in a few sentences. Choose a small set for print and preserve the remaining memories privately.
Make it fit your situation
Tell contributors that submitting a memory does not guarantee publication.
Selecting memories by purpose is fairer than selecting only the longest or most polished submission. A short childhood scene, a work memory, and a friendship story may show different parts of a life.
Before you finish
Make the decision before editing the final design, then record it where the family can find it. A clear owner and a saved final version reduce last-minute confusion. Keep the working notes separate from the tribute guests will read.
