We used Life On Record for my mother’s 80th birthday. My Mum got loads of presents but without doubt this touched her the most. From 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.

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
This is a great way to celebrate a momentous occasion when your loved ones are spread all over the country!
Kim Whitcomb Schuster
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
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
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 ordered a CD 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 CD’s came so quickly. LifeOnRecord was very helpful to me in getting special things included in the CD. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to give that extra special gift to someone. It is fantastic!
Kim Rossi
MY BOYFRIEND JOE DID THIS FOR MY 65TH B-DAY. IT WAS WONDERFUL. I ENJOYED IT SO VERY MUCH, THERE WAS NOT A DRY EYE AT THE PARTY. I AM STILL LISTENING TO IT. IT IS TRULY A WONDERFUL THING TO HAVE FOREVER.
Frances Agati Martini
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
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
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
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
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
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 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 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 Koff
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 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
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
Zachary Zelinski
Mom loved her LifeOnRecord CD. I put her 80th birthday party together from a distance and this CD was indeed a hit. Friends and relatives near and far were able to participate. Some memorable moments on the CD were various great grandchildren singing and playing the piano. A particularly talented friend of Mom’s created a harmonic… a singing piece called ‘The Turnin’ 80 Blues’. An old friend related fond memories for the last time in his ‘voice’ (the next day they were going to have to remove his voice box due to cancer). Cousins from across this great nation got very creative and their messages caused tears of doubled over laughter all around as they recalled childhood memories. Mom continues to listen to the CD from time to time and enjoys hearing the memories and voices. I highly recommend LifeOnRecord. The CD was affordable, easy to do, and will be treasured for years to come.
Fran Ripley
I used LifeOnRecord to create a DVD for my father’s 70th birthday. I used the mp3 files along with photos to create a movie for him. It was really easy to do. I’ll definitely use this service again!
Shane Bowlin
We gave this to our sister for her 60th. We were lucky to be with her when she opened the CD. What a fabulous memory for her & for us Everyone should do this especially for a family member that is not nearby.
Heather Williams
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
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
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
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
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
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 gave a LifeOnRecord to my sister for her 40th birthday last week and it was THE most amazing gift. She had no idea what was coming because she did not know of this concept. It was so special to hear everyone’s voices and memories. She couldn’t believe everyone would take the time out of their busy lives to extend their wishes. In a way it serves as a time vault for the kids too-they will love hearing their little voices years later, as will my sister. This is an incredible gift to give to someone-in fact, my best friend will be giving a LifeOnRecord CD to her mom for her 60th birthday. Thank you for creating an awesome, unique gift idea!!
Jen Lynch
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
Great present! My mother and father in law just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary and they LOVED this gift! Congrats again to Keith and Marlene Kohlmeier! Love you both- Cori and Jeremy
Cori K. Kohlmeier
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
What a wonderful gift for our mom’s 70th!!!
Elizabeth Zadrozny
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
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
What an incredible idea this was for my mom’s 65th birthday! She was brought to tears when we presented the CDs 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
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
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
This was a great 50th wedding anniversary gift. My parents loved it and it was so much more meaningful than “stuff”.
Emily Shelton Fletty
We did it for our daughters 30th because of COVID. She said it’s one of her favorite gifts ever.
Lynn Piper
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
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
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 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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
Made a CD for my Mom’s birthday. She loved it! Great gift idea!
Lynda Byczynski Green
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
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
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
This is a great gift idea for someone special in your life.
Brenda A Rushing
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 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 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
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
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
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
I just ordered a cd with LifeOnRecord for my mother inlaw, and I am loving it. I get to put it all together. My family loves the idea and I cant wait to let her listen to it. Thanks for LifeOnRecord. From, Susan McClelland
Susan McClelland
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
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 ordered a C.D. 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
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
Thanks for helping me make my husband’s 50th birthday so special!! I think he is going to love hearing from his friends and family!
Penny Jones Tidwell
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
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
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
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 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 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 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
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!
Bonnie Blamick Siu
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
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 CD turned out fantastic! My husband loved listening to the CD…
Suzanne Goldensohn
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.
Garen Wisner
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.

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!

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!

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.

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!”

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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
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!

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!

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!
