Our story

A funeral, seventeen browser tabs, and a quiet promise.

My grandmother Eileen died on a Tuesday. By Thursday, our family had a shared Google Doc for the obituary, a Dropbox folder of scanned photos, a group chat for tribute messages, a separate thread with the funeral director, a spreadsheet of out-of-town guests, and a Canva file someone was using to build the slideshow.

The service was Saturday. We spent the days before it managing tabs instead of being with each other. Months later, the tribute messages were scattered across four apps. The photos lived on someone's old laptop. The Google Doc was already getting hard to find.

Grieving families deserve one quiet place that holds all of it — and holds them.

Hearthkeep is that place. An all-in-one memorial app for families and for the funeral directors, celebrants, and friends who help them. The obituary, the tribute page, the photo restoration, the slideshow, the memory wall, the share links, the thank-you notes, the year of gentle check-ins — under one roof, built with care, kept for as long as you want it kept.
