Help & how it works

What happens when you invite someone

An invitation is a link for one named person (or a group). Opening it shows them the page; accepting makes them a contributor who can add memories under their own name.

Suggesting someone to invite, as a contributor

A contributor's Invite is a suggestion. The person who looks after the page decides; the guest hears nothing until then.

Owner, trusted person, contributor — who can do what

The owner created the page and can delete it. Trusted people can run it if the owner can't. Contributors add memories; readers read. Only the owner names trusted people.

Readers: on the page, without the pen

Not everyone you invite should be adding memories. A reader sees the page as any member does and can leave a tribute — and that's all. You can change your mind either way, any time.

Trusted people, and the note only they can read

The owner names trusted people — from the page's contributors, or by inviting someone new straight in. They can keep the page going, and read the owner's note about where things are.

Leaving a page

Anyone but the owner can leave a page they belong to. What they added stays in their name; the page's managers hear about it.

Asking to contribute to a page you can read

Someone who knew the person can send the family a note and ask to join. The family decides; nothing reaches the asker until they say yes.

People on this page, and the family & friends list

Members are the people who can see everything and add to it. Family & friends is the record of who was in their life — with or without an account.

Family & friends: relationships, and relationships with a timeframe

Each person in their life has a relationship — and a spouse or partner can have since and until years. Marriages and partings show on the timeline from that.

Linking two pages

Link a page from People in their life: pick one you're on, or paste its link. Both pages then list each other — and linking never gives anyone access.

Together: two pages side by side

A couple is two pages shown beside each other, by mutual consent — never one joint page.

"Is this the same person?" — two names, one entry

"Paul" tagged in a photo and "Paul Gabriele" who joined can end up as two entries. The person says That's me; managers can merge with Same as…

Removing someone from a page

A manager can remove a contributor. What they added stays, in their name, unless you also remove it. Blocking keeps them from coming back.

A page in an organisation's care

A funeral home, cemetery or hospice can start a page for a family, keep the service details on it, and hand it over. The family owns the page; the organisation is its desk while care lasts, and you can end it any time.
