The Memorial Collective
The Memorial Collective is the company. The Collective is the funeral homes, artists, makers, technology partners and creators who contribute to the work. Each brings something different to a shared purpose: helping people see more possibility in remembrance.
Not a catalog.
A connected system.
Each part of the work has a different role. Tribute Art™ gives remembrance a place in everyday life. Vigil.ai is intended to make the work around care lighter. Funeral.Shop is being developed to make meaningful offerings easier to discover. Tribute Centers imagine a place for gathering. Together, they are meant to give families more choice and funeral homes more strength.
A Return to Health CareStronger together than any of us alone.
A piece may begin in a studio, become a remembrance offering through development work and reach a family through public education, explained by a funeral professional and connected by technology. Different kinds of people make that possible.
Funeral homes
The people communities already turn to. They bring trust, care and a place where new possibilities can be seen and understood.

People and companies we haven't built in yet
That's what the Collective is about. If this speaks to you and we haven't built a place for you yet, we want to. Some of the best parts of this started that way.

Imagine what remembrance can be
The Collective works to change how people think and talk about remembrance by opening a wider conversation that starts long before a moment of need and reaches far beyond the arrangement room, so more people understand what is possible before they have to decide.

Embellished Art
Create what people can hold onto
The Memorial Collective creates its own exclusive line of physical pieces, made to help people see remembrance differently and find new meaning in it. Nothing is made simply to have more products. Each piece begins with a question of meaning and ends as something a family can hold, live with and pass on.
Inside The Studio
My Final Resting Place
Hold remembrance for the generations ahead
A funeral lasts a day. Remembrance can last far longer. What we build is made so that children and grandchildren can still find a person years from now: where they rest, the places and moments that shaped them, and something of who they were that can still be heard and felt.
Inside The Studio
Bring new possibilities within reach
Knowing something exists is not the same as being able to reach it. We are developing ways for families to explore new possibilities with trusted funeral professionals. The aim is to connect discovery with local guidance, through relationships built with participating homes and partners.
For funeral professionalsLift up funeral service
Funeral service holds an essential place in community life. The Collective brings new ideas, tools, creative partnerships and public understanding together to help that role grow stronger, so remembrance can become more personal, relevant and connected to the way people live today.
For funeral professionalsWhat could you bring to the work?
If your work could open a new possibility in remembrance, tell us what you bring and what you would like to explore. That includes ideas we have not built a place for yet.
