An eObituary is a beautiful online obituary you can access on your phone, tablet, or computer. It brings together funeral and gravesite details (with locations), photos, videos, tributes, and a family tree in one place — making it easy for family and friends to honour, remember, and stay connected.

Printed obituaries are limited in space, easy to lose, and often cannot include many photos or videos. An eObituary has no limits — it can include unlimited memories and is available anytime, anywhere, long after the funeral.

It can also be created alongside a printed obituary, without the high costs of extra pages or reprints — giving families a richer space that print cannot hold.

The eObituary is shared through one simple link and a QR code. Anyone can open it by clicking the link or scanning the QR code — no app required.

Each eObituary may include:

• A biography and life story
• Funeral service details with maps
• Gravesite location with navigation
• Photo and video gallery
• Digital funeral program
• Tribute messages and reactions
• A family tree to preserve lineage
• Live stream and replay (where applicable)
