For families, after loss
The funeral to plan, the paperwork to file, the memories to keep, the people to hold close — gathered into one private space you can return to slowly, in your own time.
What this is
It combines a memorial page, a shared family workspace for planning the funeral, a document vault for the paperwork that follows a death, a guestbook for the wider circle, and a permanent archive of memories, photos, letters, and voice recordings. It is built for the weeks and years that come after a death — and only for that. It is free to start; $199 once to keep an archive permanent. No subscriptions, no ads, no affiliations with funeral homes.
The week after
What you’re holding is too much for any one app. The funeral home wants forms. The cousins want updates. The bank wants a certified copy. Most of it lives, today, in:

And none of it is built for what you’re actually doing.
What Mourning holds
Explore all twelve features — each shown as it actually looks.
The private room for the people doing the holding. Tasks, messages, and decisions in one place that asks nothing of you.
A page for the wider circle. Service details, a few photos, a way to RSVP, a place to leave a memory. Edit it slowly, share it when you're ready.
When the words feel too heavy, gentle drafts to start from. The obituary. The eulogy. The thank-you notes. Always yours to rewrite.
The practical part. Death certificates, accounts to close, insurance policies, the will. Tracked, secured, and shared with the people who need it.
Years later
“Grief is the price we pay for love. The least we can do is give it a place to sit.”
What Mourning is, and isn’t
The longer arc
Mourning is building toward something larger than the first few weeks. The memorial workspace is the doorway. The archive is the home. Over time, the same private room holds your family’s voice recordings, photographs, written histories, and the anniversaries you don’t want to lose.

Mourning is a private digital space for families after a death. It combines a memorial page, a shared workspace for planning the funeral, a document vault for paperwork, a guestbook for the wider circle, and a permanent archive of memories, photos, letters, and voice recordings.
Mourning is free for the first weeks — memorial page, family workspace, documents, RSVPs, guestbook, AI-assisted drafts. To make the archive permanent, the one-time price is $199 per memorial. There are no subscriptions.
You choose. Private (only you), invite-only (anyone with the link), or public. You can change the setting at any time. The family workspace — tasks, messages, documents — is never public.
No. Mourning is independent. We have no affiliations with funeral homes, cemeteries, insurance providers, or estate firms. We do not sell ads or data.
The $199 unlocks unlimited memories, voice interviews with transcripts, the AI-assembled life story, anniversary reminders, family invites with roles, and a 25-year hosting commitment. You can export the full archive — JSON plus PDF — at any time.
