Need help starting? We can help you create the first private memorial.
Through our Founding Families Programme, Memorial Garden is helping the first families begin gently with a private memorial draft. You can review everything before choosing whether to share.
How it works
How Memorial Garden works
Create a memorial gently, build it in your own time, and share it only when your family is ready.
Step 1
Start privately
Create a draft memorial with a name, photo, dates, and first story.
Step 2
Add memories
Build the page with photos, timeline moments, tributes, candles, flowers, and messages.
Step 3
Invite family
Ask trusted family members or friends to help manage the memorial and gather memories.
Step 4
Share when ready
Keep it private, share by link, protect it with a password, or make it public.
Start small
Not ready to write a full memorial? Start with one memory.
You can begin with just a name, one photo and one sentence. The memorial stays private while you add more in your own time.
One memory is enough to begin.
Start privately now, then return later when you have more words, photos or family memories to add.
