A virtual memorial: what it is and how to create one

May 7, 20262 min readPomni

A virtual memorial is a memory page about a person on the internet. It holds not only a name and dates but a whole life story: photos, video, voice and the family’s memories.

What a virtual memorial is

It is a digital place of memory, accessible from any device anywhere in the world. Unlike a social-media post, a virtual memorial is arranged meaningfully: biography, life timeline, gallery, voice and stories gathered in one gentle space.

How it helps

A virtual memorial unites the family wherever its members live: each can add a memory and reread others’. It is not lost over time, can be protected with a password and linked to a QR code on the headstone.

How to create one

Creation takes a few minutes: register, enter the name and years, add the first story. Then invite relatives via a link — they will add photos, video and stories. The text version is free forever.

Privacy and control

You decide who sees the memorial: open, by password or by invitation only. The data belongs to the family and can be exported or deleted at any time. No advertising and no data selling.

  • Accessible from any device, forever.
  • Unites family across cities and countries.
  • Protected by password, linked to a QR code.
  • The text version is free.

Frequently asked questions

How is a virtual memorial better than a social-media page?
It is built for memory: structured, private, independent of algorithms and ads, and not lost over time.
How much does a virtual memorial cost?
A text memory page is free forever. Photos, video and voice are on the annual plan; the AI copy is on the top plan.
