Cherished Book is a place to remember someone who has died. Families build a memorial together, and anyone can add to it, wherever they are.

If you use an AI assistant, you can ask it to:

  • Make a memorial for a person or a pet
  • Write the obituary, or use words you have already written
  • Change the wording, the design, or who can see it
  • Add the photo you want at the top of the page
  • Add where they are laid to rest, and how to find it
  • Read what people have written, and choose what appears

There are over 100 designs to choose from. As many people as you like can add their memories, and they do not need an account to do it. Visitors can leave a candle, a flower or a stone. The writing can follow your own traditions, and dates can show in your own calendar too.

All of it can become a Memorial Book. That is a PDF of the memorial, the photos and everything people wrote, to keep on your computer or have printed.

The Memorial Book comes with Premium, along with private memorials, adding photos and files, notices about the service and events people can reply to, seeing messages before they appear, and roles for other family members. Premium is free at the moment.

Every memorial and every message is checked before it appears.

Server tool list (7)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

get_organizationProfile, branding and memorial counts for the organisation this connection belongs to.
list_memorialsMemorials provisioned by this organisation, including drafts still awaiting the family.
list_ownersOwner name and email for this organisation's memorials. These are bereaved families' contact details: use them to answer the question asked, and put them nowhere else.
provision_memorialCreate a memorial on a family's behalf. With action "invite" (the default) the family is emailed a link to claim and complete it. With action "complete" the organisation supplies the content and it goes live.
list_templatesThe designs a memorial can use, with the id to pass as template_id. Every design is available to everyone; none of them cost extra. Offer them by how they feel, such as quiet and simple or warm and celebratory. Never describe a design by religion or culture, and never present one as being for a particular faith. If the person has not asked about the design, leave it alone: one is chosen to suit the story.
update_memorialChange a memorial's wording or settings. IMPORTANT: send every change you intend to make in ONE call. Changes to wording are safety-checked one at a time, so editing field by field will be refused with a wait; settings like privacy or template are free and unlimited.
delete_memorialRemove a memorial from view. It stays recoverable from the dashboard for a period, and is never destroyed immediately. Confirm with the person before calling this.
