guestwalls

For celebrations of life

Everyone here knows a story nobody else does.

At a memorial, three people speak and two hundred sit with something they would have said. A memory wall gives that a place to go, gently and without anyone having to stand up.

People stand in small groups near a memory wall screen in a bright village hall with white flowers and soft daylight.

Why GuestWalls

Easy to join.
Made to be seen.

Guests post a memory, a photograph, or a single line from their phone, at their own pace, from wherever they are sitting. The display stays quiet and unhurried—no confetti, no motion that competes with the room—and the family keeps every contribution afterwards, including from the people who could not travel.

01

Quiet by design

Choose a restrained preset with slow, gentle transitions. The display holds each memory long enough to be read, without decoration or celebration effects.

02

Room for the people who could not come

Colleagues, old friends, and relatives abroad post from wherever they are, and their words are in the room on the day.

03

The family keeps all of it

Every message and photograph stays together as one collection the family can return to, rather than scattered across cards and messages.

Two people sit side by side at a memorial gathering, one showing the other a photograph on a phone with a hand on their arm.
Nobody has to stand up. Everybody gets to speak.

What to ask for

Better prompts,
better messages.

Gentle, specific invitations help people who do not know where to begin:

  • 01Share one memory of them.
  • 02Post a photograph you have that the family may not.
  • 03What did they always say?
  • 04The thing they taught you without meaning to.
  • 05How did you first meet them?

From blank wall to live event

Three decisions.
Then let the room speak.

  1. 1

    Set it up with the order of service

    Create the event, choose a quiet preset, and add the code to the order of service or a card at the entrance.

  2. 2

    Ask for one memory

    A single clear invitation—"share a memory of him"—is enough. Guests will know what to write.

  3. 3

    Leave it open afterwards

    Many families keep the wall open for a week or two so messages continue to arrive after the day itself.

Questions, answered

The practical
details.

Is a message wall appropriate at a memorial?

Many families find it is, because it gives the quieter half of the room a way to contribute. Choose a restrained preset with slow transitions and no celebration effects, and the display stays dignified.

Can the family review messages before they appear?

Yes. Approval mode holds every post in a queue until someone the family trusts publishes it, which is the setting most memorials use.

Can people who could not attend still contribute?

Yes. Anyone with the link can post from anywhere, and many families share it with colleagues and distant relatives after the service.

How long can we keep the wall open?

The host controls when the event closes, so the wall can stay open for days or weeks while messages continue to arrive, and the complete collection can be replayed afterwards.
