Empreinte Vie · Practical advice
Collect written and voice tributes at a funeral
At a funeral or celebration of life, guests often have a memory to share but no clear place to leave it. A simple page, available by QR code or on a shared tablet, brings those messages together.
Prepare a welcoming space
Choose a quiet corner, reliable Internet and a charged tablet or computer. A short prompt is enough: “What memory would you like to share?” Explain that a few sentences are welcome and that recording a voice message is also possible. Contributing should always remain optional.
Open a dedicated celebration page
Empreinte Vie’s Celebration Mode lets the profile manager prepare a collection page. Keep it open on a computer or iPad, or let guests scan the QR code and use their own phone. Tributes are gathered on the associated profile.
Offer writing and recording together
A tribute does not need to be a speech. A small story, a thank-you or a familiar habit can say a great deal. Voice recording helps guests who find speaking more natural. Place the recording station away from noise and let guests listen before sending.
Explain publication clearly
Messages submitted through an active celebration page are published directly, without prior approval by Empreinte Vie. Share its link and code with the intended guests, explain that messages join the profile and close the mode after the event. The ordinary profile form retains its usual approval process.
Keep the voice, with or without a transcript
Audio can be kept on its own. With the required consent, an optional AI transcription can also provide a written version. The person leaving the tribute can request it too. Review the result carefully: names, local expressions and noisy recordings may require corrections.
Help guests and close the collection
Assign someone to help guests scan the code, allow microphone access or prepare the shared tablet for the next contributor. Make sure it is ready for each new guest. Close the collection after the event, then take time to read and listen to the memories. Funeral homes can contact Empreinte Vie to discuss partnership options.
