Stories and Starting Points

Not everyone is ready to record straight away.

And that’s okay, at The Memory Room Experience, our mission is all about encouraging everyone to have more meaningful conversations and ask questions to the people they love most while they still can with or without our help.

So this page is here to help with that. Everything on here comes from real Memory Room experiences.

Things we’ve created, shared, or learned along the way that help people begin having better conversations, or understand what these stories can become over time.

Questions to Ask Parents and Grandparents

A free guide designed to help meaningful stories come out naturally.

The questions have come from different Memory Room experiences. It’s a simple guide of conversation prompts that you can start using now to help meaningful stories and memories come out over time.

This is a good place to start if you don’t quite know what to ask, or how to open the conversation.

If you’d like to see what these conversations can become when they’re given time and space, you can explore real chapters from Memory Room experiences on our YouTube channel.

These are short moments from much longer conversations, shared with permission.

They’re not staged or scripted.

Just people talking about their lives, in their own words.

What People Say

People often leave a Memory Room experience surprised by how much came up once they had the space to talk.

A few words from families we’ve worked with:

  • "I didn’t realise how much I didn’t know until we sat down together."

  • "I wish we did this sooner."

  • "It brought up stories we’d never actually talked about before.”

We recently used The Memory Room to capture our family story for our daughters, who are miracle babies brought to us through IVF and surrogacy. From the very first message, the experience was exceptional. Dale and Gillian came into our home and instantly put us at ease. It never felt like being filmed! Just a relaxed conversation between the two of us about our journey and our girls. The care, professionalism and attention to detail were world-class. They followed up quickly, answered questions the same day, and even added photos and videos from the memories we spoke about, which made it incredibly special. As we prepare to sell our first family home, having our story captured like this for our daughters to watch in years to come is priceless. I can’t recommend Dale & Gillian at The Memory Room highly enough.

I shared an afternoon with my daughter, cooking and chatting. Reminiscing about my childhood and early adult cooking experiences. It was just perfectly lovely! I was able to tell her things she hadn’t known about my parents and grandparents and what it was like growing up in the 60’s, different food habits and attitudes throughout the years and throughout different generations. I’m so looking forward to doing a whole life chat with both my daughters very soon. I want to share my life experiences and those of my parents and grandparents rather than have them disappear when I go. Such a wonderful and cathartic thing to do! The Memory Room is such a wonderful concept. So very precious.

Loved working with Dale and the team at The Memory Room! A smooth, seamless process and the end product/video is something I'll have in my life to cherish forever!

Take Your Time

You don’t need to decide anything today.

Most people start with one question, one conversation, or one memory.

That’s enough.

When you’re ready, we’ll be here.

Our mission is to help you record the stories that matter most.
Memories fade, but when they’re captured on film, video lets you return to the moments, voices, and people you never want to lose.
