Keep The Stories Guests Share With A Guest Message Station
Guests bring memories from different parts of their life. Our staffed station gives them a place to share those stories, with someone there to help them feel comfortable. We edit selected messages into a guest message film, delivered afterward on your permanent online page. $1,499 for up to three hours.

Hear What Guests Share When You Cannot Be Everywhere
On the day, you are greeting relatives and holding the family together while someone across the room remembers a part of their life you never knew. You can only be in one conversation at a time.
A quiet corner can also make it easier to say. Some guests find it simpler to speak freely to a camera than to choose their words in front of the family, so the station can catch stories nobody would tell you directly.
Your family receives a finished film afterward, so you can hear the messages when you have time to take them in.

A Person There To Help Guests Feel Comfortable
Being filmed can feel unfamiliar. Someone from our team stays with the station throughout the booking, explains how it works, and offers a simple prompt when a guest wants help getting started.
Guests choose what to share and when to stop. We respect the pace of the gathering and the boundaries your family gives us.

A comfortable place to share a memory, with someone there to help.
Kat brings a career in commercial photography and video to our guest message stations, working with people who are not performers and helping them sound like themselves on camera.
Her experience making films for her own family shapes the care she brings to Evermark's work and the standard she sets for our editors.
Dr. Biglow sets how we handle sound and how our team speaks to your guests. A room holding a hundred people is a hard place to record one quiet voice, and she spent years as a sound engineer.
She is a Doctor of Behavioral Health with more than twelve years in trauma and grief work, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. That background shapes how our team knows when to stop asking.
How It Works
How The Station Runs
1. Plan The Station
Tell us the gathering's date and location. Your Family Care Lead helps choose a recording time and checks the space with your venue contact.
2. Guests Share At Their Own Pace
We set up the station and staff it throughout your booking. Guests can record a memory, answer a gentle prompt, or choose to pass.
3. Receive Your Guest Message Film
We review the recordings and edit selected messages into a finished film, delivered to your permanent online page two to three weeks after the gathering, with one round of revisions. Tell your Family Care Lead about anything you want left out.

Your guest message film arrives two to three weeks after the gathering, with one round of revisions. Other services in your booking may have their own preview and delivery dates.

Your guest message film and permanent online page stay online for life at no further cost. Nobody in your family gets an email years from now asking them to pay again to keep it.
Before You Ask
Questions Families Ask
What if guests do not want to record a message?
Taking part is optional. Our team explains the station and invites guests to contribute without pressure. We cannot guarantee how many guests will record a message.
Do guests know they are being recorded?
Yes. Our team explains the recording and how the finished film will be shared before guests take part. Guests can decline or stop at any time.
What can guests talk about?
A memory they treasure, how they met the person, or something they learned from them. We offer gentle prompts when helpful, and guests choose what they want to share.
How long does each message take?
Many messages take a few minutes. We help guests keep their message comfortable while allowing time for others to take part. The number recorded depends on participation and the booked station hours.
Where can you set up the station?
We can plan a station at a funeral home, reception venue, restaurant, or family home. Your Family Care Lead checks the available space, background noise, power, and venue requirements before confirming the setup.
How is this different from a collaborative tribute film?
A guest message station records new messages with our staff at your gathering. A Collaborative Tribute Film, one of our Memorial Tribute Films, collects contributions remotely along with supplied photographs and home videos. Station messages become a separate guest message film, and we explain the delivery and editing options if you book both.
Can we ask you to leave out a message?
Yes. Tell your Family Care Lead about any sensitive material or people you do not want included. We explain the review process and how to request exclusions before booking.
Can we add more time?
Additional time at the same booked event is $299 per hour, with a fifteen-minute grace period. Ask your Family Care Lead before extending. They are reachable the same day, and the more notice you give us, the more likely we can keep the station open longer.
Can we book for a gathering this week?
Contact us with the date and venue. We check staff availability and setup requirements, then confirm whether we can provide the station before you book.
When do we receive the film, and who can watch it?
Your guest message film arrives on your permanent online page two to three weeks after the gathering, with one round of revisions. You can share the page with relatives and friends and download the film to keep. Your Family Care Lead explains the page's privacy settings, and we ask for separate written permission before using recordings in our marketing.
