How it works
You pick a design, add their story, and share one link — family can contribute without signing up. Pages can be ready the same day.
Step 1
Choose a design
Browse our design library. Pick a template — from warm and floral to clean and modern. Every template includes a hero image and color scheme that you can customize.
Inside the builder

Build at your pace
An easy-to-use page builder for difficult days
Pick a template, upload a photo, and write their obituary in a workspace that doesn't rush you. Customize colors and fonts, turn sections on or off, and preview the page before anyone else sees it — with autosave so nothing gets lost.
For your guests
Guests don't need an account to contribute
Friends and family can submit photos, leave memories, and RSVP without signing up for anything. That matters more than it sounds. Fewer barriers means more voices. More voices means a fuller picture of who they really were.
After publishing
You stay in control — without the admin headache
Approve gallery submissions and memory wall posts before they go live. Invite co-managers. Copy your public link. Grab a QR code for printed funeral programs — all from one dashboard that doesn't require a tutorial to figure out.
Trust & safety
Nothing goes live until you say so
Every photo and memory submitted by a guest lands in a queue first. Nothing appears publicly until you've approved it. So when the page is shared widely — across family, friends, old colleagues — you don't have to worry about what might show up.
Always on
A permanent home online — not just for now
The $50 lifetime plan means the memorial stays online for good. One steady link your family can return to on anniversaries, birthdays, and the days grief shows up without warning. No renewals. No expiration dates. No surprises.
