A written reflection and audio recording
Your Voice, Preserved
A written reflection and audio recording, created by you with Richard’s quiet help. This becomes something deeply personal and beautiful for you and your family.
What to expect
How it works
As a voice-keeper, we listen closely and help you find the words for what matters, a written account of a life well lived. Nothing is drafted, recorded or shared on your behalf without being read back to you and approved, line by line. Potentially this piece can be read or played at your funeral - or kept as a private treasure - for the people you love.
So much of what we wish we'd said only becomes clear afterwards - which is exactly why voice-keeping exists. It is a careful process of helping someone put into lasting form the things they want the people they love to have: not polished speeches, but real words, in a real voice.
What happens:
- An exploratory meeting (free, no obligation)
- A co-creation session where we shape your words together
- A final written piece (300-600 words) and a 20-40 minute audio recording
Whatever form it takes, the words remain entirely yours - checked, approved and safeguarded by you, every step of the way.
