“We revealed Dad's memorial story at his celebration of life. There were 67 memories from family and friends — stories I'd never heard, photos I'd never seen. It was exactly what Dad would have wanted — all his people sharing love and laughter through tears. The story page is now bookmarked on all our phones.”
Why Ownstory for Memorials
Unlike social media posts that get buried, memorial stories are private, permanent, and designed specifically as keepsakes. Plus, families can pool money for flowers or donations through our built-in group gifting.
Private & Permanent
This isn't social media. No public feeds, no algorithms, no strangers. Your story stays private — only people you invite can see it. And it lasts forever, not just 24 hours.
Not like Instagram stories that vanish, or Facebook posts anyone can see.
Group Gift Built In
Pool money from the group, and let the birthday person pick the gift card they actually want. No more guessing, no more duplicate gifts. Delivered straight to their mobile wallet.
$5, $10, $50 — every bit counts
Amazon, Uber Eats, Apple, Spotify & more
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — tap to use
Messages + gift card together in one beautiful story. No separate apps needed.
