Plan it, step by step

Tribute to a loved one

When someone close passes away, there are people to inform, a service to arrange and words to receive, at a time when energy is low. These steps guide you gently, from the announcement to remembrance. Filomy helps bring together what matters, so you can focus on what is essential.

  1. In the days that follow

    Let people know about the service

    What makes it complicated

    The same details have to be repeated by phone, message and email, without knowing who has actually been told.

    With Filomy

    An information page, created in 2 minutes, gives the date and place; loved ones can say whether they will attend and how many people will come with them.

  2. Before the service

    Gather messages from those far away

    What makes it complicated

    People who cannot attend send their words by text or email, and these tributes end up scattered.

    With Filomy

    A remembrance guest book receives messages, photos, videos and voice notes by link, QR code or WhatsApp, with no app or account. Moderation lets you read each contribution first.

  3. Before the service

    Arrange a shared contribution

    What makes it complicated

    For flowers or a donation in their memory, money has to be collected from everyone and the accounts kept by hand.

    With Filomy

    The kitty, free and commission-free, collects pledges; each person pays the organiser directly, who ticks off amounts received.

  4. On the day of the service

    Share memories during the tribute

    What makes it complicated

    Gathering photos from everyone's phones to prepare a slideshow takes hours, just when you have the least to give.

    With Filomy

    Photos and messages left in the guest book can be shown as a slideshow, and a QR code lets those present add their own.

  5. In the following weeks

    Keep the tributes

    What makes it complicated

    The words received stay scattered across phones, cards and emails, and may be lost.

    With Filomy

    Guest book contributions can be printed as cards or a book for the family.

  6. In the following months

    Tell the story of a life

    What makes it complicated

    Everyone's anecdotes about the person's life are never written down, and fade with time.

    With Filomy

    The memory book lets several people tell a life chapter by chapter, then print it.

  7. For the years ahead

    Pass on a message to the youngest

    What makes it complicated

    You would like grandchildren to discover one day who their grandparent was, but keeping a message safe for years is hard.

    With Filomy

    The free time capsule delivers a message written today in 1, 5 or 10 years.

    Time capsule →

All these steps gathered on a single mini-site, shared by link or QR code.

Frequently asked questions

Do people need an account to leave a message?

No. They leave a message, photo, video or voice note from a link, QR code or WhatsApp, with no app or account.

Can we read messages before they become visible?

Yes. Moderation lets you approve each contribution before it is published.

Is the guest book free?

It is free up to 50 contributions. Beyond that, it becomes unlimited with a box or a one-time unlock of €39.90.
