== Reception ==
Jonathan Holland of ''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' deemed the "tightly buttoned, trigenerational family drama" to be "worthy but dull".<ref name="holland">{{Cite web|url=https://variety.com/2005/film/reviews/something-to-remember-me-by-1200527947/#!|website=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|date=14 February 2005|title=Something To Remember Me By|first=Jonathan|last=Holland}}</ref>
The review in ''[[El País]]'' observed that despite the film starting with "cheesy" trappings, the plot takes a "spectacular turn" by dealing a "brutal blow", eventually underpinning the film as "one of those movies that serve to learn more about life".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2005/02/18/cine/1108681221_850215.html|website=[[El País]]|date=18 February 2005|title=La memoria de los muertos}}</ref>
