How long does it take to create a memorial page?

About 5 minutes. Fill in the details, upload photos, and your memorial page is live with a permanent URL you can share with family and friends.

Is the memorial page permanent?

Yes. Memorial pages are hosted permanently on dedicated infrastructure. There are no recurring fees. Your one-time payment covers hosting forever.

Can I create a memorial page for free?

Yes. The free Remember plan includes 1 photo, candle lighting, a read-only guestbook, and 14 days of manage access before it becomes an archive preview.

What do paid plans include for QR downloads?

Paid tiers include the memorial QR code as both a PNG image and a printable PDF. You can share the image digitally or print the PDF for a funeral service, memorial card, or gravesite display.

Can visitors interact with the memorial?

Visitors can light a virtual candle on every memorial. Guestbook messages are read-only on Remember, while Honor, Cherish, and Forever allow visitors to leave guestbook messages.

Do I need to create an account?

No. QuickMemorial requires no account or signup. Just enter your email and memorial details. We send you a manage link so you can access your memorial anytime.

How much does a memorial page cost?

Remember is free. Honor is $9, Cherish is $19, and Forever is $49. All paid plans are one-time payments with no subscription.

Can I manage my memorial after it's created?

Yes. You receive a secure manage link in your email. Remember memorials keep manage access for 14 days before moving into archive preview mode, while paid plans remain available long-term.

What if I don't know the exact birth date?

No problem. You can switch to 'I know their age' mode and enter how old your loved one was. We calculate an approximate birth year and display it tastefully on the memorial page.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes. We offer a 14-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee for all paid tiers. Email us and we'll refund you in full.

QuickMemorial in More Detail

QuickMemorial is focused on one thing: getting a memorial page live as fast as possible, with as little friction as possible.

You don't need to create an account. You enter an email address, fill in their name, dates, and biography, upload a photo, and the page is live. The whole process takes about 5 minutes. You get a shareable link immediately.

The free Remember plan includes 1 photo, biography, candle lighting, and a shareable link. Manage access lasts 60 days before moving to archive preview. If you want to keep the page permanently, the Honor plan is $9 one-time. It adds 5 photos, guestbook messages, and a downloadable QR code.

QR codes are one of QuickMemorial's more distinct features. You get a printable PDF and PNG that you can put on a headstone, laminate and frame, or include in a funeral program. When someone scans it, they go straight to the memorial page on their phone. See our guide to QR codes for graves for display ideas and how to order a permanent engraving.

Paid plans also include a photo slideshow, a life timeline for milestones like marriages and career moments, and, on the Cherish ($19) and Forever ($49) plans, a family tree showing who they're survived by. You can also reorder or hide any section of the page to match how you want it to read.

Pricing is all one-time. No subscriptions, no annual renewals.

Where QuickMemorial falls short: The free plan is limited to 1 photo and isn't permanently hosted. For families who want unlimited uploads or a rich collaborative archive, it's not the right fit.

Keeper in More Detail

Keeper describes itself as a storytelling platform. The idea is that a memorial shouldn't be a single static page - it should grow as family members add their own memories, photos, and reflections over time.

The core memorial features are free and include unlimited content uploads, a guestbook, and collaboration tools for multiple contributors. Keeper's primary paid products are physical - QR plaques you can order for headstones and other surfaces, and concierge memorial services.

If you have a large extended family and want everyone to be able to contribute their own photos and memories over months or years, Keeper is built for that. It's also a good fit if you're thinking about long-term legacy preservation rather than a quick page for the funeral — for a broader look at what that involves, our digital legacy planning guide covers what to do with accounts, passwords, and online presence after someone dies.

Where Keeper falls short: It takes more time to set up and is designed for ongoing use, not a quick share link during active funeral planning. The setup flow is more involved than QuickMemorial's. If you need something live today to include in the obituary or send to family, Keeper's collaborative model may feel like more overhead than you want right now.

Pricing Compared

Plan tier	QuickMemorial	Keeper
Free plan	Yes - 60-day manage access	Yes - core memorial free
Entry paid	$9 one-time	Physical QR plaque (separate)
Mid tier	$19 one-time (privacy + 10 photos)	Concierge services
Top tier	$49 one-time (20 photos + booklet)	-
Subscription	None	None for digital

QuickMemorial's pricing is straightforward: pay once, keep the page. Keeper's digital memorial is free; revenue comes from physical memorial products.

Which One to Choose

If someone passed away recently and you need a page live today - for the obituary, for the family group chat, or to include in the funeral program - QuickMemorial is the faster choice. No account, no complex setup, live in 5 minutes.

If you're thinking longer-term and want a place where the whole family can contribute their own memories, stories, and photos over months or years, Keeper is worth a closer look. The collaborative storytelling model is genuinely different from what most memorial platforms offer.

Both platforms are built with respect for families who are grieving. There's no wrong answer here - it comes down to whether you need something simple now or something rich over time. For a broader look at what else is out there, see our comparison of the best free online memorial websites.
