A page in an organisation's care

Some pages begin at a funeral home's desk. The home starts the page with the details a family walks in expecting to see published — the services, the resting place, where to send flowers, where to give — and invites the family in. Others begin with the family, who later ask a home to keep the service details for them. Either way, the home holds the page; the family owns it.

What an organisation can do on your page

While it cares for the page, its staff read the page as a member does and keep the record — the page's details, life events, gatherings, the people in the person's life, the resting place, the In their memory links, and privacy. They can invite people and print the QR code. Every change they make is listed under Settings → This page → Cared for by, so you can always see what they did.

What it can never do

Approve, decline, edit, archive or delete a memory. Add a memory, a saying, a letter or a tribute of its own. Name trusted people, delete the page, download a copy. Decide where the page is listed. Its staff are never members of the page in the family's sense, and when care ends their access ends with it.

The keeper

When a home starts a page, it invites one family member as the page's keeper — the person it arranged the service with. Accepting makes you a manager at once (you approve what others add) and the owner the moment the home hands the page over. Only the first person to accept a keeper link can.

Ending care

• The home hands the page over after the service, on its own timing.
• The keeper can take the page at any time — there is no waiting period, and the home can't refuse.
• A family that asked a home to care for their page ends it with one button.

Ownership never passes to an organisation. When care ends, the page keeps a line saying who cared for it — yours to remove — and the home keeps a card of what it entered about the service it performed: the dates, the services, the resting place, its links. Never a word of yours.

Listed on their page

An organisation that cares for the page may show it on its own page at beyondmytime.life/at/… — only as much as you choose, under Cared for by → On their page: nothing; the service details only (photo, dates, services, resting place, links — never the memories); or the page itself, once anyone with the link may read it. A friend who finds the service details can ask to be invited; you decide, and they join as a reader unless you say otherwise. The organisation can ask you to list the page; it can never flip the switch.

If nobody is left

Under Cared for by → If nobody is left the owner can name an organisation to keep the page should their account ever be deleted with no trusted person to pass it to — held, never deleted.
