Light a candle online, in memoriam.

Create a permanent online memorial for someone you lost: their name, the place they loved, and one true sentence of who they were, kept forever on a living map of the real world. Not a static tribute page. A light that rests among thousands of real people, under a real sky, and glows brighter each year on the anniversary of their passing.

a place to remember those we have lost

why here, and not a static page
A living world, not a slab of stone

Their light rests on a real map of Earth, among thousands of living people who each left one sentence. Remembrance beside presence, never alone on an empty page.

A real sky moves overhead

Auroras bloom over the poles when the sun flares, the line between day and night sweeps across the world, and real earthquakes ripple outward. The Earth their light sits on is genuinely alive.

The whole world breathes together

Once every hour, people across the planet send one sentence at the very same moment. Their memory is held inside something quietly, continuously alive.

The anniversary is never forgotten

Each year on the day they passed, their light glows brighter and a quiet line crosses the globe: today we remember them. Eternal Flame memorials send a golden cascade out from their city, seen by everyone watching.

questions about online memorials

What is an online memorial on The Signal?

It is a permanent tribute light for someone you have lost, placed on a living map of the real world. It carries their name, the years they lived, one sentence of who they were, and a city that mattered to them. The light stays forever, and glows brighter each year on the anniversary of their passing.

How much does it cost to light a candle?

One time, from $10. Candle ($10) is a permanent listing on the world map and in this in-memoriam registry. Engraved Plate ($50) adds a longer remembrance and a dedicated page you can share with family. Eternal Flame ($100) adds a planet-wide anniversary cascade and a printable certificate. No subscriptions, ever.

What happens on the anniversary?

Their light glows brighter for the day, and a quiet message crosses the globe: today we remember them. Eternal Flame memorials send a soft golden ripple out from their city, seen by everyone watching the world at that moment.

Is an online memorial really permanent?

Yes. There is no monthly fee and no expiry. The memorial stays on the map for as long as The Signal exists, so family can return to it any time, from anywhere in the world.

Can I share the memorial with my family?

Yes. Engraved Plate and Eternal Flame memorials get a dedicated page at /memorial/[name] with a shareable link and a preview card, so relatives can visit, read the remembrance, and find their light on the globe.
