Capture the Voices, Cherish the Memories Forever.
Moments That Matter, Keepsakes That Last
Our vintage phones and simple dial-in service invite your guests to share their personal messages. These spoken words hold a depth beyond the written word and become unique keepsakes—preserved forever for you to relive whenever you wish.
Trusted by thousands to preserve precious memories—capturing voices and stories since 2006.
The easiest way for friends and family to record how they feel.
Phones have always been more than just devices – they’re emotional connectors.
Whether it’s the smartphone in your hand or the timeless charm of a rotary phone, they invite conversation in ways that written words or videos can’t quite capture.
With LifeOnRecord, we turn this natural connection into something truly memorable. Your guests will call from their own phones – the ones they’re already familiar with – to leave heartfelt messages. Or imagine a vintage rotary phone at your event, drawing people in with its nostalgia and sparking moments of conversation.
And the best part? You have complete creative control. Curate and edit each recording, add songs, and transform them into a keepsake that you’ll treasure for years to come. Let the voices of your loved ones tell a story, in their own words, forever.
How It Works: From Moments to Memories
1 – Record Your Personal Greeting
Start by recording a heartfelt message that your guests will hear when they call the toll-free number or pick up the vintage phone. Set the tone with your words and make it personal!
2 – Receive Your Vintage Phone (if ordered)
If you’ve selected one of our charming vintage phones, it will arrive well in advance, ready to be the centerpiece of your event. It’s sure to spark conversation and draw people in!
3 – Invite Your Guests to Share
Share the toll-free number or QR code with your friends and family, and invite them to call in using their own phones. For added fun, they can leave messages on the vintage phone at your event. You can even give them the option to upload songs or email voice recordings directly to your online account – everything gathers in one place!
4 – Organize & Create Your Keepsake
Once the messages are in, it’s time to curate! Organize the recordings however you like, edit out any parts, and even add your own songs to mix with the voices of your loved ones. Whether you choose to stream, download, or request a physical keepsake like a vinyl album or a keepsake speaker, your memories will be preserved forever.

Just surprised my wife with recordings that we will listen to tomorrow for her surprise birthday getaway. This is a great way to celebrate someone you love.
Maribeth and Paul Niager
My mom loved receiving the CD for her 80th birthday. She was really surprised how many friends and family we were able to find and have contribute their thoughts, messages, and well-wishes. Really a great and thoughtful gift.
Joe Meyer
LifeOnRecord was a great way to create a special present. The service is easy to use for those calling in, too.
Mary Jo Neerland Houck
This is a great gift! I needed something unique and special to give to my husband for his 60th birthday. He loved it.
Denise Strong Harris
Received the wonderful audio keepsake today for the retirement of our co-worker. He is sure to treasure hearing from his friends and colleagues. It’s great that he can listen to this over and over and share with his family. Can’t wait to present him with it at the party tomorrow.
Sharon Sprague
I gave my dad a LifeOnRecord keepsake for his 80th birthday over a year ago. The process of reconnecting with so many old friends and family members was a gift unto itself. The instructions for putting together the recordings were very simple and I did call the staff several times. They were extremely patient, helpful, and professional. Two weeks ago my dad passed away suddenly. The memories, stories, songs, and praises of his life that were captured on the speaker box are especially poignant and meaningful right now. Truly a gift that will be cherished within families for generations.
Lisa Wasserman
My younger sister Jane was a 47 year old lawyer, college professor, and the single mother of a seven year old son when, about 11 years ago, she first developed symptoms of muscle weakness and incoordination. Ultimately, it was determined that Jane had that most horrifying disease – ALS – also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, an progressive and invariably fatal motor neuron disease. Due to the young age of her son at diagnosis, Jane opted to live as a paralyzed and ventilator-dependent person in order to continue participation in raising her son and to see him grow to adulthood, if possible. Time went on and Jane was forced to medically retire from her faculty position when she could no longer walk or drive safely to work. She eventually became a resident at an assisted living facility for neurologically ill/impaired individuals. This past December, I was struggling to come up with a Christmas gift idea for Jane. What do you give a totally paralyzed, and ventilator dependent person, but who’s mind is still as sharp and alert as ever? I googled, “Christmas gifts for hospice patients”, and found Life on Record. Jane received several calls from her former colleagues, friends, and family to her Life on Record 800 message line. Jane died March 4, 2015. In the week prior to her death, on her last day of consciousness, she listened to her messages. I could tell that they pleased her enormously, and I was so thankful to have found Life on Record for her. I am so happy and grateful for your service! I believe my sister died just a little happier due to her messages from Life on Record.

Dawn Sebock made an audio keepsake for Joe’s 70th birthday and it is one of the best gifts you can give anyone for a special occasion. Thank you Life on Record!!!!
Mary Lou Sebock
My husband received a Life on Record audio keepsake as a present for his 70th birthday which was so meaningful. So many of his friends and family recorded wonderful messages. Thanks for making this user friendly.
Sylvia Echols
Husband said his Life On Record gift was the best ever for his 40th birthday. I was so nervous to give it to him since he’s quite particular about gifts! BUT, this was a surprise for him and he just can’t get over how awesome it was! It was so easy to do too. Thank you so much!!!
Rochelle Moore
I have used LifeOnRecord twice now – once for my parents 40th wedding anniversary and once for my aunt’s Golden Jubilee – and I couldn’t ask for a better company to work with. The communication between LifeOnRecord and the customer is tremendous and everyone that called in raved about what a great idea it was for a gift. I would HIGHLY recommend LifeOnRecord to anyone. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars.
Diane Lentz Snow
What an incredible idea this was for my mom’s 65th birthday! She was brought to tears when we presented the speakerbox to her. Thank you for such awesome customer service and prompt delivery… not to mention a special, unique and high-quality gift!
Kelly Kimberly Brock
I ordered an audio keepsake for a family member’s 50th birthday. The customer service was second to none. There was a delay in family members calling in their recordings due to a family emergency. LifeOnrecord extended my recording due date numerous times over 4 months. When I finally ordered, it was in my mailbox within days! Every email was answered immediately. The finished product was awesome as promised. What a great gift! Thank you.
Cindy Mathis Stavrides
I am giving it to my dad who is battling cancer. We are putting inspirational and encouraging messages to get him through his fight. Thank you!
Dawn Treyman Sollitto
I am giving this to my Grandmother for her 95th birthday in August. Some of the comments are priceless and tug on the heart string. It’s so simple to use!
Anne Kasl Pruett
Did this for milestone birthdays for a family member and a friend and GREATLY pleased with both experiences! Excellent service…my questions always received prompt, helpful, and courteous responses. Highly recommend this product!
Cheryl Myers
Made my big day very special!
Rick Eisenshart
My Mom saves everything, so what better gift than this! Today is her 78th birthday and she just finished listening to all of her birthday messages. I made sure she had a box of Kleenex within reach. She cried, laughed, was shocked at messages from people she hadn’t heard from in years…she is reeling in absolute delight from this gift. Thank you for providing a service that made my Mom’s birthday even more special!
Karen Matuszak
I gave a LifeOnRecord CD to my mother for her 90th birthday in March. I ended up with 54 messages. People had never heard of such a service and thought it was very unique. The directions were very clear and easy to understand. I just want to say that my mom listens to her CD nearly every day, and she and I both get teary whenever we listen to the wonderful messages her friends and family left for her. I would give Life On Record ten stars if I could. One of the best tributes you could give someone.
Linda Torson Volpi
I did this for my mom’s 75th birthday. As a surprise, I reached out to her growing up friends, family, her college friends, her adult friends, teaching colleagues and those people reached out to others near and dear to her. Over 100 people called in and it took up 2 speaker boxes. It was remarkable and a true testament to who my mom is and how she has touched so many lives in her 75 years. This surprise gift was a favorite of hers, not to mention the praise that I got and of course, Life on Record, for coming up with this great idea and wonderful vehicle in which to have someone be honored or celebrated. Thank you for putting these stories, memories and heartfelt thoughts from all over the country together for my mom, a very deserving and beautiful person!
Lisa in LA
My boyfriend Joe made this keepsake for my 65th b-day. It was the most wonderful thing I have ever heard. There wasn’t a dry eye at the party. I have listened to it many times already.
Frances Agati Martini
This is THE gift for someone who has everything************don’t miss it!!!
Marcy Berg Kaufman
We too often give gifts just because we are “supposed” to. This is a gift you give because you want someone to have a treasure that they will appreciate more every time they look at it much less listen to it. My wife loved the voices of her friends, parents, and daughter captured as a Christmas present.
Joey StJohn
I’ve used LifeOnRecord for my little sister’s graduation and a colleagues retirement gift. In both instances, the recipients loved listening to their friends and family share a special memory or message for them. My grandpa passed away shortly after my sister’s graduation, so the recording he made is the last time we were able to hear his voice. Highly recommend capturing these moments while you can!
Ashley Shufflebarger
I purchased a LifeonRecord keepsake as a gift for my brother’s 50th birthday. I just received the speaker box and think that it’s a wonderful, unique, and perfect gift to commemorate his 50th. I was thoroughly impressed by the presentation as well as the quality of the recordings. Thank you so much! My brother is sure to love this gift!
Joylyn Hoffman Malueg
We purchased LifeOnRecord for our Mom’s 85th Birthday. She is legally blind and this gift was absolutely perfect for her. Mom has thanked us over and over again for this gift and we were so happy to see the joy that it has brought her! Thank you LIfeonRecord!
Dianne Surmeier
Love, love, LOVE LifeonRecord. We did this for Dad’s 80th bday and it was a hit. The recordings were hilarious to tear-jerking, depending on the caller. Along with his picture CD, this is a GREAT gift for anyone, at any age. Very user-friendly and easy to use. Highly recommend it.
Gianna D Calabro
LifeOnRecord is a great gift idea for teachers, coaches or others who have kids under their wing. It’s easy to put together, but more importantly their customer service line is US bound and there to answer any and all questions when needed.
Rebecca Clark Dierssen
A giant thank you to LifeOnRecord and the many friends and family members that contributed to our 90th birthday greeting for my mom. She will be so touched by the messages and will be able to listen to it over and over!
LeeAnn Glatz
We used LifeOnRecord for my mother’s 80th birthday. My Mum got loads of presents but without a doubt, this touched her the most. From the recording of hand chimes from her campanology friends to reminiscences from her twin brother of life in the womb!! and a dozen loving memories in between we all remembered and laughed our way through her lifetime stories. This a fantastic way to recall events I would recommend it to everyone.
Paul Timmins
I just made a recording from all of my father’s family and friends for his 75th birthday. It’s a great gift to let someone know that they are loved.
Jody Cahn Hirsch
Our friend was dying of a brain tumor, and we decided LifeOnRecord would be a perfect birthday present! She loved listening to the recordings, many of them capturing memories that were unknown to her family. While many of those who recorded birthday greetings did not know she was dying, per her wishes, they still shared sweet and tender feelings that lifted her spirits for her last two weeks of life. Thank you for such an immediate, and long-lasting, experience!
Ginny Meacham
Love LifeOnRecord! I did this for my husband’s 50th Birthday. It was easy to do, the sight is well put together and the keepsake turned out wonderful! I also had trouble receiving my first copy which I am sure got lost in the mail. I voiced my concerns to the staff and they sent me out a new copy free of charge!!! I am very happy with my experience and invite you all to try it for your special event!!!
Wendy Cunningham Oleksyn
My nephew was younger than 1 when his grandmother died at a young age, suddenly and unexpectedly. We asked people who knew her to call in and share memories about her as a way for my nephew to get to know her through the voices of those who knew and loved her. Not only is it nice for my nephew to get to know his grandmother in a way he might not have otherwise, my sister and I get to feel grateful toward those who participated and we have captured the voices of family members who are aging.
Mikel Brown
This is a great way to celebrate a momentous occasion when your loved ones are spread all over the country!
Kim Whitcomb Schuster
Thank you so much for your support you gave a member of my family who had difficulty making a call from the UK. The help was immediate. This is a great gift for anyone celebrating a milestone in their life. Friends took the task of making a recording very seriously and as a result have produced a wonderful memory. Thank you.
Barbara Cohen
Gave (still giving) this to my Mom for her birthday. PERFECT for the person who has everything and really easy. Nice thing is that our event is still open and the word is still getting passed around so the list is getting longer… We followed your advice and gave people a deadline more than a bit before the scheduled end of the ‘event’. It’s been great! The majority of people recorded within 3 days. Now, every few days the message gets out further and someone new adds a message.
Karen Bernd
My husband was blown away by his 80th birthday gift. Friends and relatives left countless messages that left him speechless. Soooo easy to use and I’m no techie. Great support and the finished product is something we will forever cherish. Do it for your loved one! You can’t go wrong!
Gloria and Ron Moore
I received a LifeOnRecord recording from 59 family members and friends for my 30th birthday. It was such an unexpected and unique gift. I love that I can keep it forever and listen to it whenever I need to reminisce.
Elisabeth Zelinski
This audio keepsake was the perfect gift for my husband’s recent 40th bday…he was SO overwhelmed by all the messages and the outpouring of love – he said it’s one of the best gifts he’s received in his life. I’ve given your info to several interested friends and family since…I’d recommend you all to anyone! Thanks SO much for being so easy to work with and for having such an awesome product – this gift was such a hit and meant so much to him.
Emily Tucker Barzee
LifeOnRecord is a wonderful way to show the admiration, love, and respect that people feel for one, and an opportunity to remember memorable occasions. What a wonderful surprise this will be for our daughter. The process goes on without a hitch. We received the completed keepsake within 26 hours of ordering. Wonderful service!
Gail Chip Hovey
I created an audio keepsake for my dad’s 90th birthday! He absolutely loved it!
Marianne Sharghi Amerine
We signed up for this for my mother’s birthday and she got well over 100 messages from friends and family. Even as far away as New Zealand. The website is a little wonky and the final order process was confusing but the final product is amazing. It’s such a simple service for people to use and the speaker was much nicer than I expected. It’s a nice, rechargeable, metal speaker in packaging that reminds you of an Apple product. This is a great idea for any milestone and I would highly recommend it.
Kyle Shipp
I heard stories from family members about what they think makes my mom special – we all had different memories, experiences, traits we admired, and the variety was fantastic, as were the stories, many of which I had never heard. Plus we had fun planning this surprise for her, and it gave us a reason to chat on the phone with each other, something I hadn’t done with some of my family members in a while. My mom LOVED the gift!!! She was so touched that she was brought to tears! It was such a meaningful way to honor a woman who has given so much of herself to others.
Seanna Walter
My family used LifeOnRecord to capture thoughts, memories, well wishes, etc. for my Dad on his 80th Birthday. With a very large family and globally-spread extended family, LifeOnRecord gave us an ideal way to share sentiments with Dad even if some of us couldn’t be there on his day. We gave him other gifts for his birthday, but those material things paled in comparison to the genuine love and gratitude we were able to give Dad with what LifeOnRecord helped us pull together.
David Graffagna
We used LifeOnRecord to create a keepsake for my Dad’s 90th birthday, and it has been absolutely wonderful. We had over 40 recordings from family and friends (even some high school friends!) across the country! Everybody enjoyed participating, and it could not have been easier for them or us! The staff/owner was easy to reach and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend this site for a wonderful, unique keepsake gift that will be treasured for years to come.
Janine Barnett Honda
I received a LifeOnRecord keepsake for my 40th birthday last week. When I was handed the speaker box, I had no idea what it was. What a fantastic idea – heartwarming, personal, and something to cherish for a long time. If you are looking for a way to commemorate a special date, this is perfect!
Jennifer K. Fortune
I used this service for my grandma’s 90th birthday present. She was afraid that no one would be able to come to her birthday party. She was surprised with friends, family and messages from those who were unable to attend. Watching her expression while listening to the heart felt messages was priceless. Thank you for helping me give the perfect gift!
Cathy Kulenkamp
I did a surprise LifeOnRecord recording for my husband’s 40th birthday. It was a perfect way for his friends and family, both near and far, to be involved in his big birthday. It was so easy! The audio keepsake turned out fantastic! My husband loved listening to the speaker box…
Suzanne Goldensohn
For my wife’s 25th birthday, I had 25 of her closest family members and friends record messages through LifeOnRecord….the best, everlasting gift ever!!!
Krishna Das
I had a colleague whose family member used LifeOnRecord for his 70th birthday, and I held onto the information. I just used it for a very close friend’s 80th birthday and contacted her family members all over the country to send greetings. They were impressed with the idea and kids, grandkids, other family members and friends left wonderful messages! I’m sure she will be touched by the greetings. It was so easy to use and monitor the greetings to know who to contact about deadlines for leaving messages. And, although I ordered the speaker box from LifeOnRecord, I really appreciate the option to download everything to iTunes! I wanted to also send a personal THANK YOU for your service. It is a very creative way for people to express their sentiments to others in a slightly more personal way than just an email or posting! As a business professor, I tell my students all the time about innovative, small companies, and I will certainly tell them about yours! Good work and best wishes for continued success! I’d recommend this product/service to ANYONE!
Bonnie O'Neill
My mom and I made a LOR CD for my Dad’s 50th birthday and he loved it! We recently moved cross country and he hasn’t been able to see or hear from a lot of friends in a while so it was a nice way to get them all involved (easily and efficiently) in a birthday surprise for him! Thanks
Melissa Croft
Thank you do much for making my mother-in-law’s 90th birthday so special. We had 43 family members call and share birthday greetings and memories. We ordered the silver player and it is wonderful. The beautiful keepsake storage box is great. Your helpful service was wonderful. Thank you for making this day so special!
Jan Hankinson
This past month we sat in my parents living-room and listened as friends and family wished my father “Happy 80th Birthday”. It was one of the most touching birthday gifts he has ever received. You all are on to something here, and I intend to share your service with as many people as I can. Thanks a million!
Darcie Carr
What a wonderful gift for our mom’s 70th!!!
Elizabeth Zadrozny
This keepsake was the perfect gift for my parents’ 50th anniversary. We had dinner with the immediate family and played the speaker box during dinner. It was so fun to see their expressions as each friend or family member talked. The process to put together the recordings was easy and the results were fabulous. My parents are still talking about it and listening again and again…..
Linda Scheneman
My husband received a keepsake with the well wishes of his colleagues from afar. He was very moved. This was the perfect gift for his retirement!
Marguerite Beaulieu
I have used LifeOnRecord twice in the last few years. The first was for my husband when he turned 70. He had been a teacher for many years. I received greetings/stories from childhood friends, past students/teachers, current friends and family. He was so surprised and grateful. We go back and listen to it periodically and it always makes us laugh again. The second time was for my Mother’s 90th. Again, there was a mix of old friends, new friends and family which really summed up her incredible life in stories from their perspective. It is such valuable gift because it celebrates what is unique about that person and the love that connects us all!
Jill Schaffner
Life on Record, It is our absolute pleasure to write this testimonial about your service, business and product. We had previously placed an order with Voice Quilt over 8 years ago and thought this would be a great gift for our friend turning 50. Learning Voice Quilt was gone and you had replaced them, I was hesitant. Well, that was wasted hesitation!! Ordering was easy, Twice I had to call, and both times the owner answered the phone, and walked us thru our self inflicted mistakes. I didn’t have to leave a message, he was there! Even answered the phone at 9 pm!! The hardest part of this beautiful gift, is to get your family and friends on board and to get it done. You have to stay on them and threaten dead lines. But once they do, its fabulous. Best gift ever! We purchased the speaker box and it is quality and attractive. It’s so awesome to have messages from family, friends, co-workers and especially from the ones who have passed on. Their messages are still with us. If you want a unique gift, this is IT! I am extremely happy this company exists and offers hands on help. Thank you for being in business, and we will order again, promised!
Sonny and Sharie Knight
We used LifeonRecord for our parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. It’s such a fun and different kind of gift. My parents were astounded and amazed, and mom cried a little at all the people who called to wish them congratulations. What a great memory maker! All the grandkids, in their cute little voices, and my mom’s uncle, who is 90, and some of their high school friends were the hits of the recording. Thanks, LifeonRecord, for this great service.
Betsey Jane
What a great way to celebrate our parents 63rd Wedding Anniversary. The recordings from our family and friends to our parents made this gift so unique and truly a time capsule! What a great idea and you guys were so easy to work with. Any questions we had you answered quickly and efficiently. Thank you!
Linda Hoffman
We did it for our daughters 30th because of COVID. She said it’s one of her favorite gifts ever.
Lynn Piper
From the moment a neighbor told me about Life on record I loved the idea. Since my deadline is in a few days and I have had the opportunity to review all instructions I’m thrilled with this whole concept. The ease of it. The cost. The quick replies.
The memories that so far have been recorded are so special and some I didn’t know about! My husband will have his heart warmed by Life on Record and the service they provide for his 60th birthday. It is a fantastic site, idea, and process. Thank you!!!
Lisa Ermine
My husband is really enjoying listening to his LifeOnRecord speaker box. It is his 40th Birthday today and throughout the day he has been taking time to listen to the thoughtful messages. Friends and family from around the world have been able to spend time preparing songs and voicemails with stories and memories that have made his birthday extra special. Thank you to everyone at LifeOnRecord for the first-class customer service and product. I would recommend it to anyone, and will definitely do it again!
Nita Klein
I just ordered an audio keepsake with LifeOnRecord for my mother-in-law, and I am loving it. I get to put it all together. My family loves the idea and I can’t wait to let her listen to it. Thanks for LifeOnRecord.
Susan McClelland
I received this absolutely awesomely wonderful gift yesterday for my 70th birthday! I haven’t even had time to listen to all the 2 keepsakes yet, but I can tell you, I will be listening to them for a while! If you want something incredibly special for a gift, this fits the bill!
Tena Wright Taylor
I just clicked submit for my LifeOnRecord keepsake. We created this as a 60th birthday gift for my boss. The instructions were crystal clear and we ended up with almost 50 well wishes. I know our boss will LOVE LOVE LOVE this gift and I can’t wait until it arrives in the mail! I would recommend this idea to anyone and will likely use the service again myself!
Gail Bradfield
I ordered an audio keepsake for my husband’s 50th birthday and he loved it. It was a perfect touch for his surprise party. Even people who weren’t able to make his party called and left a message. I would definitely recommend this to anyone!
Michelle Molina
Thank you SO much for helping to make our mom’s 80th birthday a very special one! She absolutely loved the gift of the voice recordings, and will treasure it always! Your kindness, patience, and help were so greatly appreciated! Each time we called (and there were several times) you were always so quick to respond back, and we were thankful for that. So many of our friends and family members commented on what a “great idea” this gift was, so we will certainly be recommending your service! Enjoyed working with you!
Cathy Ruocco Sayers
My mother was in tears, laughing and so appreciative of her wonderful LifeOnRecord keepsake. There were 25 messages for her on her 80th birthday! I would highly recommend this wonderful product for that special occasion!
Cathy Konkler
We gave this to our sister for her 60th. We were lucky to be with her when she opened the speaker box. What a fabulous memory for her & for us Everyone should do this, especially for a family member that is not nearby.
Heather Williams
My husband was touched by the 75+ messages he received from family and friends on his 50th birthday with the Life On Record keepsake. Facebook made it very easy to reach out to these people and ask them to call! Even family that came in to visit for his birthday wanted to hear the messages! This is such a great memorable gift! Highly recommend it!
Cindy Fuhst Ward
We loved our audio keepsake that was made for my grandma’s 90th! Something we will cherish. Life on Record made it sooo easy with very simple instructions. We will use again in the future for special occasions!
Claire Sweem
We gave this to my mom for her 90th birthday. She does not see well so this gift was indeed special. Over 60 relatives and friends posted messages for her and she was absolutely thrilled. She listens to it often and told us this was the best gift she has ever received!! It was very easy to get set up and the instructions were direct and uncomplicated. I highly recommend this gift for anyone, particularly the elderly who have problems w/sight. Thank you LifeOnRecord, for making our mom’s 90th birthday the best one yet!! God Bless!!
Kathy Staton
My mom is the youngest of 13 and turned 60 last year. Her family and friends are scattered all over the U.S. and many were not able to attend her party. This service provided a way for all of them to connect with her on her special day. She has enjoyed listening to all the memories shared over and over again. This was her favorite gift! This truly is a gift to give to someone that has everything! Thanks!
Marsha Miller
It might sound simple but this is an amazing gift!! I was able to solicit voice messages from folks who couldn’t travel to my mother’s 80th birthday party. She was entranced as people in her life spoke to her and about her – one after another! Even her dentist called and left a message! Names and voices from all across the country created the best gift of the day! It wasn’t just a gift for her but to all who could witness the look on her face as she recognized the voices of family and friends – PRICELESS! Not a dry eye in the place! The real truth is……thanks to LifeOnRecord, I was able to pull off this amazing feat in only two days prior to the party! A procrastinator’s dream!
Dena Clements
My sister surprised me for my 60th Birthday with an audio keepsake of long-time friends and family. I was blown away. There were so many people who shared stories I had almost forgotten. This keepsake is priceless. Not sure how she did it but I’m so thankful she did.
Murphie Bradley
Just gave my Mom her LifeOnRecord CD for her 80th birthday…it has been the greatest gift, I have ever given her! She cried and laughed and was genuinely touched. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to show her how very much she is loved!
Dianne Hansen
This was a great 50th wedding anniversary gift. My parents loved it and it was so much more meaningful than “stuff”.
Emily Shelton Fletty
I am the lucky recipient of receiving my Life on Record for my 50th birthday yesterday. Around 100 people from all walks of life used the code for me to phone in and share all kinds of memories and stories in their own voices. This is by far the best gift I have ever received. My husband and the friends who participated all mentioned how great an experience it was for them and so easy to use. Thank you for your idea, for your great customer service, and for providing the way for a gift I will forever cherish.
Kim Hansen
I created a wonderful memory for my husband’s 45th birthday!! He was very moved, and loved the sentiments that were shared from people we haven’t seen in several years!
Michelle Strickland
I found out about this service through a friend, so I used it for my wife’s 50th birthday. It was 100% great. Very clever. It is a very smoothly designed and easy to use service, the web interface makes it easy to keep track and organize recordings, it was great to get emails each time a recording came in and to be able to listen to them immediately via the attached MP3’s, and the podcast-like interface with iTunes ended up being extremely convenient and useful. I have to give special kudos to the customer service: the response was very quick, very friendly, and extremely accommodating to some special requests and situations for my case. And beyond that, the best part was sitting next to my wife as she listened to all the voices of people I was able to find from her life, some she hadn’t heard from in decades. As we listened, she constantly commented on how amazing it was to have these people’s voices recorded and especially to have all those stories recorded. Thank you VERY much. Best. Gift. Ever.
Joel Parker
We did this for my mom after my dad passed away last year. People were able to call in and share favorite memories, stories, and words of encouragement. Our family listened to the recordings together on Christmas Day and heard stories about my dad we never knew about. What a treasure!
Callie Perkins Roberts
I ordered an audio keepsake for my husband’s 50th birthday. This is a GREAT gift idea! A keepsake from all his family and friends. Better than a card. This is simple to do and the speaker boxes came so quickly. LifeOnRecord was very helpful to me in getting special things included in the keepsake. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to give that extra special gift to someone. It is fantastic!

We purchased your product for a 90th birthday present for my mother. She is blind and has mild dementia. But the recorded messages were just the perfect gift for her. Hearing the voices and wishes of so many loved ones really hit the mark and lit up her face and her spirits! It was absolutely the perfect gift for her Also it was perfect for her friends and other relatives who are older and also not on social media because they were all familiar with making a phone call and leaving a message. In fact this was a big reason we went with your product rather than other similar products. It fit the abilities of the age group we were working with. We ran into 2 technical issues. Both of these technical issues were very simply fixed in a brief call to your office. The customer service was EXCELLENT. It’s very nice to so easily get a real person on the phone to ask questions and resolve issues. Thank you and we will highly recommend your product to anyone.

I am so excited to be able to give this as a gift for my Mother’s 80th Birthday. The process is simple but the outcome is amazing. I am gathering the messages now and so far everyone has been excited about participating. Thank you for this awesome service. Everyone needing that special gift should give it a try.

This is what Andreia wrote to her family…“Oh my Goodness! I am so full right now! I cried and then I laughed! And cried again! Wow! This was by far, hands down, the BEST gift I’ve ever received! I’m still taking it all in…..Thank you all so much for the kind words and most of all…at the end, the song took me out! I have the best Family in the world! I love y’all soooo much! Thank you for making today so special for me!”

My dad just received the audio keepsake we made in honor of his retirement, and he was so touched. Thank you so much, it was the perfect gift for a man who did not want to make people travel for a retirement party. I will definitely recommend this service to friends!

I used LifeOnRecord for my friend’s 40th birthday. Not only did she really enjoy receiving this as a gift, I had sooo much fun editing the recordings. We laughed so long and hard listening to the funny stories. This is the best gift I’ve ever given someone.

Thanks so much for all your support during this audio journey! My Dad’s vision is poor so this was a perfect gift to celebrate his 90th Birthday!!! We have laughed and cried listening to all the memories and stories he so loves to hear over and over!! Great idea so glad I found you! Cheers!

This is one of the easiest and most appreciated gifts I have ever given. For my father’s 65th birthday, I found LifeOnRecord’s website and decided to try it. What else do you get a man who has everything? The process was very simple!! When we played the speaker box for my father at his birthday party he was speechless, hearing from old classmates and friends he hadn’t seen in years. It was a moment that I don’t think any of my family will forget. I highly recommend LifeOnRecord!!!

I highly recommend life on record if you are looking for an unusual gift that will be treasured for years to come. My husband loved his keepsake!

If you are not familiar with this service it will be the most memorable gift you have ever given someone – and the most appreciated. They make it simple and seamless. All you need is to email or tell folks about the 800 number. I did this for my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary. What is nice is that everyone regardless of distance was able to virtually participate in honoring my parents on that day. I would even say – don’t wait for an event. Surprise someone with a “we appreciate you” day using this. That will really be meaningful! It is all about creating memories and holding on to those precious moments. This is even better than pictures! Try it.

I have used LifeOnRecord for two events. Once for my Mom’s 75th birthday and recently for my husband’s 60th birthday. The experience was wonderful. We were able to get family from all over the world to contribute and the keepsake was created in Italian. My husband absolutely loved it. The opportunity to say something special about someone you love and not wait for a funeral is very special. His children were able to say things they would not have said in person. Warm thoughts and funny stories were the best. This company is amazing to work with and I would give more stars if I could – I am a huge fan. I hope to get one myself sometime!

We gave this to my dad for his 80th birthday. He was really touched! There were a couple of messages in particular, from cousins of mine, that told how much he impacted their lives and how he was a role model for them. He had not really been aware of that, and now he has a permanent record of their affirming words :) This is a great idea!

Thanks for such a great service. I mean, the service itself is a great idea and easy to do, but even more so, the support you provide: the suggested script for the greeting, the suggested script for the email, the tips page on the site, and all of your instructions make it incredibly easy for me to setup and for everyone to use. Out of 58 recordings only 2 were redos; everyone else got their recording done in one session! I can’t tell you how much this gift will mean to my wife when she hears it. Thanks! -Z

I was so surprised on my 75th birthday to receive my Life on record from my family and friends. So when my younger sister and her husband had their 50th wedding anniversary, my older sister and I sent her friends and other family the word about leaving a message or a memory or a funny situation that they remembered most about them- they loved it!!
Verna Reagan
My sisters organized this for my birthday and I can truly say that it is the best present I have ever received. To hear from family and friends, stories and memories of me is so touching. It made me laugh and cry. I will cherish this gift forever and would recommend to anyone who would like to do this for someone to ‘just do it’….It will be something they will never forget :)

Their wonderful experience
“What a great way to celebrate our parents’ 63rd Wedding Anniversary. The recordings from our family and friends to our parents made this gift so unique and truly a time capsule! What a great idea and you guys were so easy to work with. Any questions we had you answered quickly and efficiently. Thank you!”
