Mourning From Afar: How ‘IN MEMORY OF’ Helps You Share Final Goodbyes | The Funeral Notification App

Missing a loved one's funeral can be deeply upsetting and leave a lasting impact on one's emotional well-being. The funeral is often a crucial moment for saying goodbye, finding closure, and sharing grief with others who care for the deceased. The absence of this important ritual might also cause one to feel disconnected from the grieving process, making it harder to fully process the loss and find peace in the aftermath.

What Happens When You Miss a Loved One’s Funeral?

While there isn't a wealth of readily available statistics focused on how often people miss a loved one's funeral services, there are factors such as personal circumstances, travel difficulties, health issues, and other emergencies that can play a role. However, one of the major reasons we may miss the funeral of a friend or loved one is due to loss of contact.

Why Staying Connected Matters More Than Ever

Today, there is a thoughtful platform that allows you to share memories and moments with those who have impacted your life while making sure they are contacted in the case of your passing. Introducing, the IN MEMORY OF app.

IN MEMORY OF is a place where you can be vulnerable to those who matter to you greatly by leaving that message—audio or visual—once the Trustee informs them of your passing. It is easy to use. Upon downloading and viewing the introduction, create your user page by registering your name and you are ready to journal by creating your VAULT.

In this highly secured portal, you can post videos, audio, and written messages to individuals—family and friends of your choosing from your pre-set contact list. You will then choose your TRUSTEE, whose responsibilities are to ensure your messages are delivered to your chosen ones in an informative and timely manner. It is also your trustee who will notify those you selected of funeral and burial services, including where to send flowers, donations, and more.

IN MEMORY OF is the inspired creation of Lisa Fitzgerald after learning of the passing of a dear friend. She states:

“In Memory Of was born in remembrance of my friend Bryan. Having to experience the great absence of his passing through messaging or email led me to regret how time had passed between the not knowing and the feeling of being late upon his divine celebration of life.”

IN MEMORY OF is where your special memories and moments will live on with those you love. Available in multiple languages, download IN MEMORY OF today on iOS and Android for your free trial period.
