For someone you've lost
A memorial for their whole life, not two dates.
An obituary is a snapshot. Build a place that holds who they really were, in their own story and everyone else's memories of them, and keep it safe for decades.
You're never doing it alone. The writing help does the heavy lifting, our US-based team answers when you need a person, and we'll take the whole thing over if you'd rather.
Free while we're in beta. No card, no deadline, and real people to ask if you get stuck. Keeping it online after beta will need payment, and we'll say what it costs this fall.
What it holds
Everything an obituary leaves out.
Their whole life, in order
Not two dates and a paragraph. Where they grew up, what they built, the work and the years, laid out as a life instead of a summary.
Photos and video
A gallery of their life, and video we keep playable as formats change, so it still opens in twenty years.
The things you already have
A letter in their handwriting, a recipe card, a quilt panel. Photograph it and it sits on the page with the story of what it is.
The people around them
Parents, brothers and sisters, a partner, the children. Written down properly, because in a generation nobody will be sure.
If the service is soon
We can move quickly.
Paste an obituary and you have something to share within minutes. The rest can be filled in over the following weeks, and nothing has to be finished for the page to be useful to your family right now. If this is the week you'd rather not touch anything, tell us and we'll build it.
And a memorial is never done: it keeps growing as people remember more.
A real one
This is Doug's page.
Doug died in 1986. Almost nothing was written down at the time, and most of what is on his page arrived forty years later, from his sisters and from a friend who found him by searching his name.
The panel his mother and sisters sewed for the AIDS Memorial Quilt is on there too, photographed, with the story of what it is. That is what we mean by keepsakes.
Everyone who knew them
You are not the only one who remembers.
The hard part of a memorial is that one person is expected to recall a whole life. You are not. This is built so everyone else can hand you what they have.
One private link
Send it to family and friends. They add photos and memories without making an account, downloading anything, or being sold to.
Nothing appears until you say so
Every memory someone adds comes to you first. You decide what goes on the page, and you can change your mind later.
Somewhere to come back to
Light a candle, leave a message, visit from any phone at any hour. Birthdays and anniversaries are when people come.
Found by people still looking
Someone who lost touch years ago can search their name and find them. That is often where the best memories come from.

An obituary runs a few hundred words. A life doesn't.
Paid for, not promised.
Others sell "forever" with nothing behind it. We hand you the complete archive on the first day, yours unconditionally, whatever happens to us. Here's exactly how that works.
