Memini, meminisse is defective and inside out. It has perfect-stem forms only, and they carry present meaning: memini is "I remember", memineram is "I remembered", meminero is "I shall remember". There is no present tense, no supine, and the only infinitive is meminisse.
It takes a genitive of the person remembered and either genitive or accusative of the thing. It also keeps an imperative of its own shape, memento and mementote - and these are future imperatives, which is why memento mori reads less as "remember now" than as "bear it in mind from here on".
