Honour a life with the stories of many.
After a loss, many people have a story about the person they miss, sometimes a single sentence, sometimes a photo. On a protected memorial page, family and friends write these memories down, even from far away. You have them bound into a printed memorial book for the family.
Made in Switzerland
Many who want to share in the grief live far away or couldn't come to the funeral. With the link you send them, they add their memory from wherever they are.
Remember together, keep it in a book
Pay tribute to a life
You set up a protected memorial page with a photo, the life story and details of the memorial service. The family can do this themselves, or someone on their behalf, such as the funeral home.
Share stories
Share the link by WhatsApp, email or as a QR code on the funeral card. Friends and acquaintances write down what they experienced with the person, without an account, and add photos.
A book for the family
We lay out the pages of the memorial book from the messages. You see every page in advance and choose what goes in. You order when you're ready.
The printed memorial book
A hardcover in dark blue, the name and years of life embossed in gold. Inside are the stories and photos you collected, printed on matte paper. The family can keep it and one day pass it on.
- Printed and bound in Switzerland
- Designed from your stories and photos
- Reorder extra copies for the family
- Delivery within Switzerland included

Preserved for the family.
The memorial page is free for 12 months, then you can renew it. The book of stories stays with the family whether the page is online or not.
Who opens a memorial page?
Often a friend or relative opens the page so the family can attend to other things.
Family and people who are close
A friend, a brother, an aunt or a neighbour opens the page for the family, or the family does it themselves. You sign in with your email address.
Book of Honor partners
Pastors, funeral celebrants, grief companions and funeral homes open memorial pages for the families they accompany. Alongside the funeral, the family gets a place for the stories of everyone who wants to share in the grief. The page carries your logo, and your team looks after the pages together.

Frequently asked
Can I open a memorial page if I'm not part of the immediate family?+
Yes. Friends, relatives and people who accompany families professionally (pastors, grief companions, funeral celebrants, funeral homes) can open a memorial page. The family can take over management later.
Do contributors need to create an account to write something?+
No. You write your text through the link and send it. All we ask for is your email address.
Does this fit families of every tradition?+
Yes. You choose what fits the family: without a portrait photo, the page can show initials, a branch, a candle or a cross. For the dedication, a Bible verse works as well as a quote or your own words of farewell.
Who can see the memorial page?+
Anyone who receives the link. The page is private and doesn't appear in search engines.
What if someone writes something inappropriate or hurtful?+
Whoever manages the page reviews messages before they appear or hides them later. The same person decides which messages go into the printed memorial book. In cases of abuse, we can remove a message too.
Can the family take over management later themselves?+
Yes. Whoever opened the page for a family gets in touch with us: on request, we transfer the memorial page to the family's account. From then on, the family manages the page itself.
What happens after the 12 months?+
We remind you by email two months and one week before it ends; you can then extend the online time. Without an extension, the memorial page goes offline after the 12 months: visitors can no longer see it, but all messages and photos stay fully preserved in your account. For six months, you can bring the page back online with an extension. We remind you several times during this period. After that, we delete the memorial page.
What if the family can't afford the memorial book?+
No one should have to go without a memorial book for financial reasons. That's why people who write a memory can also contribute towards the book, if the memorial page offers it. We credit their amount to that page's memorial book, up to a maximum set by whoever manages the page.
How long can people write messages?+
Until the contribution deadline. It is initially set 40 days after the memorial page is published. Whoever manages the page can change the deadline, up to 3 months after publication at most. After that, writing is closed; the page stays readable.
What happens to my message?+
You receive an email with a link to edit your message, straight away or, if it is reviewed first, as soon as it has been approved. Depending on the memorial page, your message appears straight away or only after the person who looks after the page has reviewed it. You can also choose that it goes only into the memorial book and does not appear on the page. Using the link in the email, you can edit or delete it until the contribution deadline ends. Your email address appears neither on the memorial page nor in the memorial book; only the person who looks after the page can see it.
Can I delete a memorial page?+
Yes. Whoever manages the memorial page can delete it once it is offline. You can still restore it for 30 days; only then do we delete it permanently. If an order or payment is still open for the page, we lock deleting. Get in touch, and we'll help you personally.
Can I add photos to my message?+
Yes, up to 4 photos per message. We automatically remove the location that phones often store in a photo.
Can I write anonymously?+
If the memorial page allows it: leave the name field empty and your message appears as “Anonymous”. The person who looks after the page reviews anonymous messages before they appear. We still need your email address; only the person who looks after the page can see it.
