Humans Love Stories – But What Kind, Exactly?
Ah, the name "Humans Love Stories."
It rolls off the tongue like the opening line of an epic novel or the title of an indie film that makes you cry in a coffee shop. It’s undeniable — humans do love stories. But what kind of stories, exactly? And what does that mean when you pair it with a business that crafts wedding ceremonies, celebrations of life, and legacy audio recordings? Let’s explore the many ways one might interpret this name, depending on how one’s morning coffee hit.
The Romantics: Love Stories, Of Course!
If you’re the kind of person who swoons at every on-screen proposal and writes “Mrs. [Insert Crush’s Name]” in the margins of your notebook, then Humans Love Stories is exactly what it sounds like: a haven for lovers and their epic tales. We take your “how we met” story (even if it involves a questionable dating app choice and an argument about pizza toppings) and turn it into a wedding ceremony that feels like the perfect opening chapter to a lifelong love story.
The Sentimentalists: Life Stories That Deserve to Be Told
Maybe you’re the type who cherishes old letters, keeps ticket stubs from concerts, and gets misty-eyed hearing your grandparents’ stories about “the good old days.” For you, Humans Love Stories is about preserving history — the kind of stories that deserve to be told and retold. Our celebration of life ceremonies and audio legacy recordings make sure those stories don’t disappear with time, capturing voices, memories, and the irreplaceable quirks that make a life story truly unforgettable.
The Slightly Macabre: Funeral Stories, Because Let’s Be Honest, They’re Memorable
We don’t want to say that funerals are a storytelling goldmine, but… well, you’ve been to a wake. You’ve heard the stories that surface when people gather to remember someone who has left us. Humans Love Stories acknowledges that even in grief, there’s laughter, wisdom, and the kind of storytelling that can bring people together. And if you’re into curating your own legacy soundtrack via our Your Funeral Music podcast? Well, that’s just planning ahead with style.
The Podcasters and Audio Geeks: Stories, but Make Them Audible
Maybe you read “Humans Love Stories” and immediately think of the sound of an old tape recorder clicking on, or the warm crackle of a vinyl record. If you’re an audio enthusiast, then you know that storytelling isn’t just about words on a page — it’s about the power of voice. Our audio biographies and oral history recordings are designed to keep voices alive long after they’ve left the room. Whether it’s a grandparent telling their life story or a couple narrating their love journey, we believe some stories are best heard, not just read.
The Advocates: Stories for Every Human
At its core, "Humans Love Stories" is about inclusivity.
Love stories, life stories, and legacy stories are human stories and belong to everyone — regardless of who they love, where they come from, or how they identify. Our services are for all humans: old, young, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, trans, Black, white, Indigenous, disabled, neurodivergent, and beyond.
Every person’s story holds inherent worth and dignity, and we believe in celebrating that truth. Whether we’re officiating a wedding, honoring a life well-lived, or preserving a voice for future generations, our work is rooted in the belief that every story deserves to be told, heard, honored and crafted with love.
And just as important, we acknowledge that how a person’s story ends — whether through natural causes, an accident or overdose, suicide or violence — doesn’t erase the value of their life. A life lived in kindness, in struggle, in perseverance, or in joy is still a story worth telling. Every chapter matters, even the difficult ones, and we honor the full journey of a life with respect and love.
The Philosophers: The Never-Ending Human Story
If you’re prone to existential musings, you might read “Humans Love Stories” and think about how we’re all part of one big, never-ending narrative. Our ceremonies, our recorded histories, our shared experiences — everything we do is part of the collective human story. And isn’t that what makes life beautiful?
So, whether you’re here for love stories, life stories, memorial stories, or even a well-crafted podcast about funeral music, you’ve come to the right place. Because let’s face it — whatever kind of story you’re drawn to, one thing remains true: Humans. Love. Stories.
