Writing the Memory Medallion Profile
For most people, creating a life profile
for a Memory Medallion is a labor of love. Here are some
guidelines to help you create the perfect tribute.
Please remember that there is a 600-word limit to the text that
can be stored on the digital memory device. You will also need
to choose just ONE photograph per Medallion.
Guidelines
1. The Memory Medallion life profile can be as simple as an
obituary, or as personal as tributes and memories written by
family members. What you write is entirely up to you.
2. Be sure to count your words carefully, and proofread your
text closely for spelling or grammatical errors.
3. You may wish to include quotes or
writings from your loved one's letters in your tribute to make
it more personal.
4. If you include a line from a book, song, poem or other
copyrighted material, you must give proper credit to the author.
Also, be sure to credit family members who helped compile your
loved one's story, and include the date it was completed so that
future generations will know who wrote the story.
5. Choose a photograph that CLEARLY shows your loved one's face.
6. Tell a story that you would want any visitor to know.
7. If you have difficulty deciding what to say, try focusing on
one generation or one person from your family who did not have
the opportunity to know this loved one. Consider what you would
want this relative to know about the person you are remembering.
This will help you focus on the most important parts of your
loved one's life story.
