Sharing photos for a funeral or memorial
When someone dies, the photos that tell their story are often spread across many people: old prints in a relative’s drawer, holiday snaps on a friend’s phone. A private shared gallery lets everyone contribute their memories in one place, without asking grieving relatives to manage a dozen messages.
Collecting photos before the service
Many families put together a slideshow or a display of photos for the funeral or memorial. A shared gallery can help: send the link to family and friends a few days before, and ask them to upload their favourite photos of the person. Old paper photos can be photographed with a phone and uploaded in the same way. The family can then download everything as a zip file and choose which images to show.
At the service or celebration of life
Some families place a small card with a QR code near the guest book, with a gentle line such as "If you have photos or memories of [name], you are welcome to share them here." This is entirely optional and not right for every service; it is often a better fit for a celebration of life or a gathering afterwards than for a formal ceremony.
Simple for every generation
Guests do not need an app or an account. They open the link or scan the code, may type their name so the family knows who shared each photo, and choose images from their phone. This matters at a time when nobody wants to deal with passwords or sign-ups.
Privacy and control
The gallery is private: it is reachable only through its unique link and is not indexed by search engines. The host, usually one family member, can delete any photo at any time, and anyone can report an image they feel should not be there. On Standard and Plus, videos can be added too, for example short clips with the person’s voice. The gallery is deleted automatically at the end of the storage period (180 days on Standard, 365 days on Plus), so download a copy to keep.
Other options families use
A shared album on Google Photos or iCloud works well if relatives already use the same service. Email is familiar to older relatives but makes it harder to keep files together. A memory book at the service collects written memories rather than photos, and many families use both. Choose whatever is easiest for the people involved; the goal is simply that nobody’s photos are lost.
A practical note on cost
The free trial accepts up to 20 photos and is kept for 14 days, which may be enough for a small family. Standard costs 249 SEK as a one-time payment and allows up to 500 photos and videos, kept for 180 days. There is no subscription.
