How a memorial opens.
Two halves. While you’re here, you set it up and give your family logins. After you’re gone, they open it themselves, with a one-day window in which any of them can stop it. No one at 4everbe is told, and no one at 4everbe decides.
You set it up.
- Step 01
Begin the memorial
You pay $49 once, and you are the owner. Nothing is public until you say so.
- Step 02
Give your family logins
Invite admins, who can do everything, and helpers, who add recordings and approve memories. Name one person as your successor.
- Step 03
Fill it
Record short videos, add photos and letters, and seal greetings for birthdays and weddings. A greeting can wait for its date.
- Step 04
Choose who sees it
Keep it private, or publish it at its own address. Either way, only the people you choose can find it.
Your family opens it.
- Step 05
A family member reports it
Anyone with a login reports your death from Home. They can add a note and a document.
- Step 06
The memorial waits 24 hours
A letter with a stop button goes to you and to every family member with a login.
- Someone presses stopNothing changes. The memorial stays exactly as it was.
- A second family member confirmsThe memorial opens at once, for when the funeral is near.
- Nobody presses anythingAfter 24 quiet hours, the memorial opens by itself.
- Step 07
It opens
Your successor becomes the owner. Admins and helpers keep their logins. The memorial stays online at the same address.
- Step 08
The memorial waits one more day
No greeting goes out in the first 24 hours after it opens, so the family can still undo a mistake.
- Step 09
The greetings go out
We send each sealed greeting on its date, every year if you chose that. A greeting with no date waits until a family member adds one.
The owner can download everything or close the memorial. Anything reported comes down immediately. Nobody at 4everbe is needed for any step above.
