Preserving memories with technology
GatherWords was born from a simple belief: that the stories and memories shared by those who loved someone are too precious to be lost. When words are spoken at a funeral, they fade. When a video tribute is recorded, it lives forever.
We built GatherWords to make it effortless for friends and family — wherever they are in the world — to contribute a video message, a written tribute, or even just light a virtual candle. Our technology then compiles every contribution into a single, beautifully edited memorial video that families can download and keep forever.
Our values
Dignity first
Every interaction is designed with empathy. We understand this is the hardest time in someone's life.
Simplicity
Recording a tribute should take seconds, not minutes. No app downloads, no account creation, no friction.
Privacy & security
256-bit encryption. Private links. We never sell data. Your memories are sacred.
Built to last
Memorial pages stay live permanently. Videos are yours to keep forever. Memories should never expire.
We're a small team that cares deeply about getting this right. If you have questions, feedback, or just need someone to talk to about setting up a memorial, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
