How Memorial Garden Works
Start privately. Build gently. Share only when you are ready.
Create a peaceful online memorial for someone you love. Add their story, photos, tributes, candles, flowers, and memories in your own time, with privacy and family approval built in from the beginning.
You can begin privately. Nothing has to be public until you choose to share it.
Private first
A calm place to begin.
Memorial Garden is designed so families can prepare a tribute quietly, invite help when needed, and share the memorial only when it feels right.
- Private by default
- Family controlled
- Tribute approval
- No adverts on memorial pages
- Takedown support
The journey
A simple path from private draft to shared remembrance.
Start privately
Create a memorial draft with just a name, photo and one memory. You do not need to make it public.
Add memories at your own pace
Add photos, stories, candles, flowers, prayers, music or life details whenever you are ready.
Invite family gently
Share a private invite link with family and friends so they can add tributes or memories.
Review contributions
Choose whether tributes appear immediately or need approval first.
Share only when ready
Keep the memorial private, unlisted, password-protected or public. The family stays in control.

Privacy controls
You control who can see and contribute.
Every family has different needs. Memorial Garden gives you clear visibility settings, so the memorial can stay private, be shared quietly, or be made public when appropriate.
You can change privacy settings later as your family's needs change.
Private
Only the owner and invited managers can access it.
Unlisted
Only people with the link can visit.
Password-protected
Visitors need a password before they can enter.
Public
Discoverable in public memorial search.
Moderation and safety
Tributes stay respectful with family approval.
Memorial pages should feel protected. Owners can review visitor tributes before publication, manage visibility and access, and use report or takedown routes when something needs attention.
Family-led safeguards
- Owners can review visitor tributes before publication.
- Inappropriate content can be reported.
- Memorial owners can manage visibility and access.
- Takedown and support routes are available.
Who it supports
Built around real family roles.
A memorial may begin with one person, but remembrance is often shared. Each role has the level of access that fits their part in the journey.
Memorial owner
Creates and manages the memorial, privacy, photos, stories, contributors, and tribute approval.
Co-managers
Trusted family members or friends who can help maintain the memorial and collect memories.
Visitors
People who can view shared memorials and leave respectful tributes where allowed.
