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
This is a great gift idea for someone special in your life.
Brenda A Rushing
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 andfriends 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 CD 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
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 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 CD!
Patti Whitted
What a wonderful gift for our mom’s 70th!!!
Elizabeth Zadrozny
This is THE gift for someone who has everything************don’t miss it!!!
Marcy Berg Kaufman
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
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
This is perfect for my Mom’s 85th birthday. Immediate family for us is 35 people, so this way we can include everyone that knows my Mom….. I think she is really going to love it!
Suzanne Ambler
This was by far the coolest gift ever! My dad turned 75 on August 5th, and 14 of our family members were able to get together for the celebration, which was made even more special by the voices of friends and family from all over the country. We had over 50 recorded messages! We watched a slide show of family photos from over the years, while we all listened to the greetings together. Everyone agreed that this is one of the most unique and thoughtful gift ideas we’ve ever heard of. And the whole process was so easy to use and put together. We’ll definitely do this again in the future! Thank you so much for such a special gift to help us celebrate a super-special life!
Phyllis Foley
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
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
My husband received a Life on Record CD 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
Love LifeOnRecor”! I did this for my husband’s 50th Birthday. It was easy to do, the sight is well put together and the CD turned out wonderful! I also had trouble recieving my first copy which I am sure got lost in 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 sister surprised me for my 60th Birthday with a CD of long time friends and family. I was blown away. There were so many people who shared stories I had almost forgotten. This CD is priceless. Not sure how she did it but I’m so thankful she did.
Murphie Bradley
This was the perfect gift for my Mom’s 90th Birthday. With her family living all across the country this was one way for us all to be “together” with her. She doesn’t need stuff, she just wants to hear their voices and memories. This CD provided that! And all the details were easy to follow! Thank you so much! I recommend this to anyone!
Joan Carlson Brand
We used Life on Record 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 CD. Thanks, Life on Record, for this great service.
Betsey Jane
My husband is really enjoying listening to his LifeOnRecord CD. 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 have used LifeOnRecord CD 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 CD 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 childen 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!
Terri Ghio
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
This was a great 50th wedding anniversary gift. My parents loved it and it was so much more meaningful than “stuff”.
Emily Shelton Fletty
Love, love, LOVE “Life on Record” 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
This is such an amazing, unique and treasured gift to give! I gave one to my Mom for her 75th birthday and the joy she had listening to friends and family around the Country was priceless! Recently did this for a most beloved priest and community leader who retired and moved back to his homeland of Ireland. It was a great opportunity for many who were unable to be with him during his last Mass, and a perfect way to privately express messages to him. I did have technical issues downloading the messages BUT that was more operator error and being technologically challenged. A desperate call to LifeOnRecord on a Sunday resulted in an immediate return call and their remoting into my system to resolve my issues and help me with the finished product. There aren’t words to express my gratitude for their help and excellent customer service! This is a wonderful and priceless gift to give! The company and their services are beyond reproach and I highly recommended the product and company without any reservation whatsoever!!! Thank you, LifeOnRecord!
Lori Lea Sawyer
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
My husband received a disc with the well wishes of his colleagues from afar. He was very moved. This was the perfect gift for his retirement!
Marguerite Beaulieu
This is one of the easiest and most appreciated gift I have ever given. For my fathers 65th Birthday I found LifeOnRecord’s website and decided to try it. What else do you get a man that has everthing. The process was very simple!! When we played the CD for my father at his birthday party he was speechless. Hearing from old class mates and friends he hadnt seen in years. It was a moment that I dont think any of my family will forget. I highly recommed LifeOnRecord!!!
Kacey Emmert Williams
I purchased a Life on Record CD as a gift for my brother’s 50th birthday. I just received the CD and think that it’s a wonderful, unique, and perfect gift to commemorate his 50th. I was thoroughly impressed by the CD 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
I recently purchased a LifeOnRecord cd for my dads 80th birthday. The instructions were very detailed and easy to understand by not only for me but the callers also. The cd is awesome and I cannot wait to give it to him! The regular shipping was lightning fast! Thank you LifeOnRecord for a creative and heart warming idea!
Stacey Kinney Caldwell
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
This is a great gift idea. We gave it to one of our staff pastors who moved away. It was simple to put together and yet incredibly significant to him. I also appreciated the clear step-by-step instructions and the timely fashion in which the CD’s were completed. I will definitely do this again! Thanks LifeOnRecord!
Cal Garcia
Awesome idea. Awesome service. Awesome quality. Would recommend again and again!
Janice Extrom Sheridan
Awesome idea, and so simple to use. Purchased the CD along with the sound files. Everything super professional. CD arrived quickly once final arrangement was made, and packaged incredibly well. All emails answered promptly, but all contact with them aside, it was so easy to set up and have everyone call in to leave their messages. Everyone should try this!!
Michael Scott Laflamme
My siblings and I made a CD for my Mom’s 70th. We had 60 of her friends and family leave birthday messages, laughter and tears included. She loved the gift. It was so easy, LifeOnRecord sends you what to email out and let’s you manage the recordings. Super cool gift!
Cristin McIntyre Caine
This is a great way to celebrate a momentous occasion when your loved ones are spread all over the country!
Kim Whitcomb Schuster
I created a cd for my dad’s 90th birthday! He absolutely loved it!
Marianne Sharghi Amerine
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
I purchased Life on Record for my Dad’s 80th birthday and it was the hit of the party. He loved it. Family from all over the country called and told wonderful stories and shared special moments. My Dad continues to listen to it over and over. I loved this idea and will continue to use it for special occasions. It was an affordable thing to do for such a special event.
Carol Jean Boris
Thanks so much for this great idea. I did a CD for my mom’s 70th birthday. I had over 50 people call in to wish her happy birthday…many were from friends or family that she rarely sees. She absolutely loved the gift. She has listened to it several times and each time it brings her laughter and tears (happy tears). This is a great idea. It is so easy to do and the service is wonderful. Thanks so much and I will definitely use your service again! Great job!
Natalie Sprink
I received a Life on Record cd for my 40th birthday last week. When I was handed the cd, 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
We did it for our daughters 30th because of COVID. She said it’s one of her favorite gifts ever.
Lynn Piper
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
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
What a great way to show our Mom celebrating her 80th birthday that she has touched so many lives and that she has so many happy memories to look back on! Thanks for making this possible and she loves listening to the cd regularly! It brings such a smile to her face!
Mary Alice Drewer
Made my big day very special!
Rick Eisenshart
I rec’d this absolutely awesomely wonderful gift yesterday for my 70th birthday! I haven’t even had time to listen to all the 2 CD’s 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
Hey Life on Record! Thanks for making my parents’ 50th anniversary such a success. We surprised them with the gift last week and they were so touched to hear all the lovely messages from their friends and family. Kudos to a great idea and for helping us let them know how much they mean to us.
Alexis Burling
Life On Record is such a special way to celebrate/memorialize a special occasion. I participated in a friend’s husband’s 50th birthday recording. So simple to use and one of the best gifts that can be given.
Gina Harpur
We just gave the CD to my husband’s grandmother who turned 90. She is so overwhelmed with the amount of love people shared with her on the CD and is so thankful to be able to listen to her family’s voices anytime she wants. It was an amazing gift to give and even easier to coordinate. Thank you for helping to make this a wonderful birthday for a wonderful woman!
Jillian Dubman
We used LifeOnRecord to create a CD 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 for 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
Priceless. Just gave to my husband for 68th birthday. He said it was the best gift ever. We shed some tears and some laughter listening to all the memories from friends and family who are so dear to us.
Annie Halvorson
I received a LifeOnRecord Keepsake Speaker on my retirement after 41 years of ordained ministry including 26 years at my last church as a gift. Over 60 friends and family recorded heartfelt messages for me that I will treasure for the rest of my life. It is clearly the best gift ever. My wife who spearheaded the project says that the instructions were clear and helpful and staff immediately responded to her questions. The quality of the speaker is outstanding. It is easy to hear and use over and over again.
Glen A VanderKloot
My mother was in tears, laughing and so appreciative of her wonderful LifeOnRecord CD. There were 25 messages for her on her 80th birthday! I would highly recommend this wonderful product for that special occasion!
Cathy Konkler
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
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
I just clicked submit for my LifeOnRecord cd. 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
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
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 :)
Cynthia Abbott
My dad just received the CD 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!
Liz Phang
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 that 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 withness 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 of this amazing feat in only two days prior to the party! A procrastinator’s dream!
Dena Clements
This CD was the perfect gift for my parents’ 50th anniversary. We had dinner with the immediate family and played the CD during dinner. It was so fun to see their expressions as each friend or family member talked. The process to put together the CD was easy and the results were fabulous. My parents are still talking about it and listening again and again…..
Linda Scheneman
This CD 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
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 CD. We laughed so long and hard listening to the funny stories. This is the best gift I’ve ever given someone.
Janice Fahy
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
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
I gave it to my best friend for her 30th birthday. She lives in Australia and I didn’t get a chance to see her for her special day. She absolutly loved it!
Shelli Cathcart
LOVE LifeOnRecord!! What a great gift for my mom’s 60th surprise birthday party for guests that could not personally attend!! My mom LOVED it and it was so easy to do!!!
Julie Omodio-Griess
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
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
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
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
Received the wonderful CD 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 am so impressed with Life on Record. I ordered a CD for my Dad’s 80th birthday. We had 50 people call in and the instructions were so easy to follow for everyone. I had a problem trying to download the recordings to my iTunes account. I called the Life on Record 1-800 number and the owner, personally walked me through it. I will recommend this company to anyone.
Dan Decraene
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
I just received your CD “My Life on Record” for my 75th birthday. It is a precious gift from my daughters, and LifeOnRecord did an outstanding job. Thank you for this innovative idea, which is a gift I will always treasure. Great idea—great company. Thanks!
Dorothy Robinson Stanley
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
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
Dear Life On Record,
I did the Life on Record recording for my husband last year in July and he loved it. What a great gift!
Denise Strong Harris
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
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!
Jeni Lindstrom
LifeOnRecord is a great gift, Mom & Dad just celebrated 50 years and it’s a great way to hear from all the people who’s lives they touched.
Angela Sandora Hoover
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
My husband was touched by the 75+ messages he received from family and friends on his 50th birthday with the Life On Record CD. 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
I used the Life on Record service for my father’s 20th/80th birthday (leap year baby). Instructions were provided so every step of the process was simple. I was impressed by the customer service I received from the very beginning. All of my questions were answered in a timely manner. The product I received was of excellent quality. This is one of the most unique, precious gifts you can give someone and my father LOVED it! He is still talking about it. Thank you Life on Record for this awesome service!
Laura White James
I gave my dad a LifeOnRecord CD 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 CD 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 CD are especially poignant and meaningful right now. Truly a gift that will be cherished within families for generations.
Lisa Wasserman
I ordered an audio CD 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 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 cds. 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
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
We are so grateful to Life On Record for providing our family with the opportunity to create a unique gift for our mother’s 90th birthday celebration. We were not able to host an in-person event due to COVID-19 restrictions, so we surprised her with an audio keepsake with music, messages, and memories from people she had known throughout her lifetime. We asked her for the names and contact information for people who have been important to her. She thought we were going to give her a card shower as we had done for previous milestone birthdays – she had no idea what we were up to and was completely surprised and absolutely delighted with her audio keepsake! Life on Record is the perfect gift to honor special people and celebrate important occasions during these COVID times. This company has done an outstanding job with this service. I can highly recommend working with them to create a priceless keepsake for your loved ones!
Kathy Krug Hopkins
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.
Angela White Marine
Dawn Sebock made a CD 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
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
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

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

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.

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.

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 was 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.
