Capture your parents’ story
while they’re still here to tell it.
A professional team sits down with your mom or dad, draws out the stories your family has never heard, and turns them into a film you keep forever.
It starts with a free 15-minute call.
We all assume there's time.
Your parents are still here. Still sharp. Still able to tell their own story, in their own voice.
That window feels like it will stay open forever. It doesn't.
And the hardest part of waiting was never the cost. It's realizing, too late, that the stories are already gone.
How it works
A simple guided process from the first call to a film your family will treasure forever.
1
Start with a free call.
We learn about your parents, answer your questions, and help you see what their story could become.
2
We shape the interview.
Family Crest plans the conversation around their life, personality, and the memories your family wants preserved.
3
They tell the story.
You keep the film.
We film, edit, and deliver a cinematic piece your family can keep and pass on for generations.
Why we started Family Crest
On his 40th birthday, our co-founder Kevin had a heart attack. Lying in that hospital bed, two things hit him at once.
His kids didn't really know his story. And he'd never asked his own parents about theirs. We all just assume there's time.
Kevin and Trent built Family Crest so no family gets caught on either side of that. If your parents are still here to tell their story, that's the window. It doesn't stay open forever.
From families who didn’t wait
We’re honored to help families capture the moments, stories, and memories that matter most.

“…the stories, memories and lessons learned from the videos, it's hard to put a price tag on that. The value that it brings and the joy that my family has because of it. I’d do it all over again and pay more…”

The window doesn't stay open forever
Right now, your parents are here. Sharp. Able to tell their own story, in their own voice.
That won't always be true. There was never going to be a perfect time.
There's only “while you still can”, and the years after, when you'd give anything for one more story.
Start with a free 15-minute call. By the end of it, you'll know exactly what their story could become. No pressure, no commitment.
