Live On Forever
A place for a family to remember someone together, even when they are spread across four countries.
Problem
The problem
When someone dies, a Ghanaian family is rarely in one place. Children are in London and Toronto, cousins are in Kumasi, and the funeral is being organised over a dozen WhatsApp groups that nobody can follow.
Contributions are the hardest part. Money comes in from everywhere, someone writes the amounts in a notebook, and by the end nobody can say with confidence who gave what. The memories are worse. Photographs and tributes sit in private phones and are gone within a year.
Audience
Who it is for
The organising family
Usually one or two people carrying the funeral, needing everyone else informed without repeating themselves.
Family abroad
Cannot attend in person. Wants to contribute, be present, and see what happened.
Friends and colleagues
Wants to leave a tribute and give something, without a bank transfer to a stranger's account.
The family afterwards
Comes back on anniversaries. The memorial is the thing that lasts.
Solution
What we built
A memorial page for the person, owned by the family. Tributes and condolences from anyone invited. Photographs collected into albums rather than scattered. Funeral events with details everyone can see instead of asking.
Contributions run through the platform itself, with donation requests, tracked transactions and payouts to the family's own account. Every contribution is recorded, so there is no notebook and no argument later.
Engineering
Notable engineering
- Donation collection with recorded transactions and payouts to family held accounts
- Memorials with configurable custom sections, so a family shapes the page to the person
- Moderated tributes and condolences, because grief pages attract abuse
- Per memorial analytics, so a family can see the reach of what they built
Grief does not respect distance. The place you gather should not either.
