Craft Your Eternal Legacy: Where Timeless Wisdom Meets Digital Immortality

Welcome to The Art of Memorialising.

Ever wished you knew more about your grandparents' lives?
Wondered how to preserve your parents' stories before it's too late?
Have you pondered how people will remember you in the digital age?

You're in the right place.

I'm Pete Billingham, a eulogy writer who's crafted over 700 life stories. I've seen firsthand how precious memories can slip away, leaving families with only fragments of their loved ones' lives.

But what if you could change that?

What if you could preserve your family's legacy and ensure your own stories live on long after you're gone?

That's exactly what The Art of Memorialising helps you do.

Here's what you'll gain by reading this newsletter:

1. How to master the tools of digital immortality: Learn about and how to use innovative platforms to create lasting digital legacies for yourself and your loved ones.

2. How to become a better storyteller: Develop skills to capture and share, and store your family's most meaningful moments forever.

3. How to shape your digital legacy: Learn how to curate your online presence for your future generations.

I blend ancient wisdom with modern technology, exploring how timeless insights about life's fleeting nature can guide us in creating meaningful digital narratives and digital legacies.

From sundials to digital immortality. That’s the Art of memorialising your life’s stories.

Drawing inspiration from the poignant mottos found on sundials—reminders of time's swift passage—I want to bridge the gap between traditional ‘memento mori' ‘and the vast potential of digital memorialisation.

This unique approach transforms age-old reflections on mortality into an invitation to preserve your life stories in the digital age.

I publish twice a month, offering two distinct types of content:

Edition 1 - The Digital Memorial Landscape

• Curated news and links about digital legacy, digital immortality and memorialisation

• Feature articles on leading digital memorial companies

• Editorial insights on the latest funeral/memorial/legacy trends

Edition 2 - The Art of Life Storytelling

• Narrative story style reflections on lessons learned crafting meaningful memorials, funerals and eulogies

• Practical storytelling techniques and creative writing prompts to help you remember, reflect, write and store your life stories.

• Ideas, and practical suggestions on curating your life story through creative writing

So, from funeral alternatives such as the rise of direct cremation and outdoor ceremonies, to innovative ways of preserving your digital assets and the growth of digital immortality, we'll cover it all.

From each newsletter you will get actionable insights and a deeper understanding of how to honour your and your families past, present, and future.

Whether you're a family historian, work in end-of-life care, interested in #deathtech, or simply want to leave a meaningful digital footprint, this newsletter is your guide to navigating the evolving landscape of digital memorials.
