Celebrations of life
No one knew themin exactly the same way.
A sister remembers a different person than a colleague of thirty years. Koda holds all of those people at once — photographs, written memories and the sound of someone telling a story about them.
Perspective
One person. Four completely different people.
“She never once left the house without lipstick, even for the bins.”
Her daughter · voice memory, 1:12A whole life, not one day
Some of it is on paper. Some of it is only in someone's head.
Photographs from a shoebox sit next to a phone picture from last spring, and next to a story that has never been written down. Koda takes all three.
Photographs
Scanned, screenshotted, taken last month. Koda places them in time without anyone dating them.
Stories
The ones told every Christmas. Written by whoever tells them best.
Voices
A minute of someone talking about them is worth more than a hundred photographs.
What a guest does
Easy enough for anyone, at a difficult time.
A link, or a card at the service
No app, no account, no instructions. It opens in a browser and asks one gentle question.
They give what they can
A photograph. A paragraph. Or they press record and just talk for a minute.
It stays open
People remember things months later. The Space doesn't close.
Gentle prompts
Most people want to contribute. Few know where to start.
Koda asks one quiet question at a time, and never more than someone is ready for.
A story I always remember
Something they taught me
The way they made me laugh
A photograph I've never shown anyone
A moment I never want to forget
Why not a shared album
A shared drive is not a place to remember someone.
A shared album
Photographs sit in a folder, unnamed and unordered
Koda
A Story with the people who were there attached to it
A shared album
Only the family with the photographs can add
Koda
Colleagues, neighbours and old friends can add what only they have
A shared album
Nothing captures how someone spoke
Koda
Voice memories, kept as they were said
A shared album
It is closed once the day is over
Koda
It stays open for anyone who remembers something later
What the family keeps
Something to give the grandchildren.
A Story that can be watched together
Play it in the room after the service, or years later at a kitchen table. It moves at a pace that suits it.
Every voice, kept
Recordings stay exactly as they were given — no music laid over them unless you want it.
Over time
Remembering doesn't happen on a schedule.
You can start it quietly, today.
One price per Memory Space, no subscriptions to cancel and no per-guest fees. The Story belongs to the family. A Memory Keeper can take the Space with them.
