How it works

  1. Add their photo and name. The years you had together and a few words, if you like.
  2. Light a candle and leave flowers. Their place hangs on the wall of a 3D memorial hall.
  3. People from around the world visit. Strangers walking through stop, light a candle and leave a kind word.

Why this exists

I'm a developer in New Zealand. When my dog Bella died after 18 years, I made a small place for her. When strangers started lighting candles there, I opened it up so every pet could be remembered the same way.
