From first draft to a finished memorial.
A calm tour of the tools families and funeral homes share, and the collaboration that means no one has to carry it alone.
Two front doors, one room.
The same room serves two kinds of visitor. Pick your door — the tools inside are identical.

Share drafts by secure link. Relatives read and comment — no accounts needed.
Four tools, one case file.
Everything hangs off one memorial profile, so nothing is typed twice and nothing gets lost between documents.
A complete draft from the story you already know.
Start from a structured profile — the person's story, family, and service details — and the writer drafts a complete obituary in your voice. Highlight any passage and ask the built-in assistant to rework it; you accept or reject every change.
- Fill in the profile — never a blank prompt box.
- Generate the draft; it streams in as you read.
- Refine with the assistant, inline, change by change.
Built to be worked on together.
A memorial is never one person's work. Share it safely, gather every voice, and keep the final word.
Share anything, safely.
Every obituary, image collection, and memorial can be shared by link. Viewing and commenting never require an account — and every link is protected.
- Password-protected linksSet a password on any share link. Visitors enter it once; access holds for the day.
- Email invitations with embedded grantsSend by email and the invitation carries a grant token that unlocks access for that recipient automatically — no password prompt, no account.
From comment to correction, in one click.
Comments on a shared obituary are yours to moderate. Hand any suggestion to the built-in assistant and the fix appears in the draft as an inline revision — accept it or reject it.
- A comment arrivesStep 01 — Comment received
- You review itStep 02 — You moderate
- Send it to the assistantStep 03 — One click
- Accept the revisionStep 04 — Inline revision
Two ways to collaborate.
- Send the link
Relatives open it and comment — no accounts, no downloads, no setup.
- One shared thread
Everyone with the link sees the same conversation, so decisions happen in the open.
- You keep the pen
Approve, decline, or apply each suggestion. The document changes only when you say so.
Finish it, then let it be seen.
When the obituary and images are ready, publish. Death Matters generates a public memorial page presenting them together — the portrait, the dates, the words — one address to share with everyone.
