Who’s behind Life Memorial?

Life Memorial was created by longtime friends Trevor Seelye and Sam Neylan. Seelye, a former paramedic, firefighter and devoted family man, and Neylan, a former Resident Director, counselor and non-profit coordinator, understand how fragile life is and how quickly it can be taken.

 

After experiencing consecutive tragedies in their own lives, Seelye and Neylan were overwhelmed with how grueling it can be to coordinate the proper funeral arrangements within a short amount of time, especially while grieving. Recognizing that there had to be a better, more efficient way to organize what can be one of the most stressful times in any of our lives, Seelye and Neylan teamed together to create Life Memorial.
