Help & how it works

Gestures: ♥ and five more ways to say "I was here"

Love, laugh, moved, hug, candle, wow — one per person per memory, shown as names and sentences, never counts.

Tributes: what a visitor can leave, and why it waits

Anyone who can read a page can leave a tribute — about the person, or about one memory. The family reads every tribute before it appears.

Signing a tribute as…

The name on a tribute is a signature you choose each time — "M.", "a neighbour on Elm Street". The family sees which account it came from.

Who they are, and what they're known for

Members choose words for the person — stubborn, generous, a wicked card player. The same word from several people becomes one chip naming who chose it.

In Their Words: sayings and songs

The things they always said, and the songs that were theirs. Text only, added by any member, reviewed like memories.

Passed down: recipes, traditions, the stories they told

Something of theirs you can do again — cook it, say it, follow it, play it, go there. Seven kinds, each with its own page; any member adds one.
