Why Digital Memorials Are Changing The Way We Remember

When someone we love passes, we naturally want to keep them close. We hold onto their stories, their laugh, even the way they’d look at us when words weren’t needed. For generations, urns have been one way to honour that connection, but the world is changing, and so is the way we remember.

At Resonate Memorials, we’ve seen how powerful it can be when memories don’t just sit quietly in the corner of a room. When they’re brought to life, they spark conversation, they bring people together, and they can even make us smile through the tears. That’s the beauty of our digital memorials.

Instead of a static urn that simply holds ashes, our memorials have an integrated screen that plays a personalised slideshow of your most cherished photos and videos. Families often tell us how comforting it feels to glance across the room and see a favourite smile, or a moment from a holiday they thought they’d forgotten. It’s not just a reminder that someone lived. It’s a reminder of how they lived.

And because these memorials are designed to complement your home, they don’t need to be tucked away. They can be a beautiful centrepiece, something friends and family naturally gather around. We’ve even seen them spark stories at family gatherings, bringing people closer as they share their favourite memories.

Every piece we create can be customised, from the design of the urn and the plaque, to the images, videos, and even music it plays. Many people choose to add treasured keepsakes inside too. Jewellery, letters, watches, or something small and sentimental that makes the memorial even more personal.

It doesn’t matter if your loss was recent or many years ago. We can help you create something new, something that honours their life and keeps them present in yours.

For us, this is more than making something beautiful. It’s about helping families keep that bond alive. A digital memorial can’t take away the ache of missing someone, but it can make the remembering softer, warmer, and more alive.

If you’d like to talk about creating one for your loved one or even for a beloved pet, we’d be honoured to guide you through the process. You can start with a free consultation so we can hear your story and help bring it to life in the way it deserves.
