For families far from home
You are still family
When distance makes grief harder, Tributes Portal is here for every family member — wherever they are in the world.
The call came in the middle of the night, or in the middle of a meeting, or in a moment you least expected it. Someone you love is gone, and you are thousands of miles away. The flight is too expensive, or the visa will not come in time, or you cannot leave the children, or work will not hold. The funeral will happen without you — and you will watch it, if at all, on a shaky phone screen held up by a cousin who is doing their best.
Your grief is just as real. Your love was just as present. You belong in the centre of this remembrance — not on the edges of it.
Tributes Portal was built with you in mind.
“Distance doesn't diminish love. It just changes what presence looks like.”
Create or co-manage from anywhere
Build the memorial from wherever you call home — no city is out of reach. Invite a cousin, an aunt, or a sibling back home to add their photos — the ones from the family compound, the naming ceremonies, the last harmattan visit. The memorial is shared work. No one has to carry it alone.
Gather everyone, across every time zone
One link. That is all it takes. Family across the world open it at midday, at breakfast, on the commute home — whatever time it is where they are. Everyone gathers in the same place, reading the same tributes, seeing the same photographs. The geography, for a moment, disappears.
Follow every detail of the service
Funeral date, time, venue, burial location, programme of events — all in one place, clearly laid out. You do not have to miss anything, even when you cannot be there in person.
Light a candle, from wherever you are
A candle lit from thousands of miles away means just as much as one lit at home. Your candle joins those lit by family at home, by relatives scattered across the world, by old friends who knew the same person. Together they form something visible — a quiet chorus of light, gathered from everywhere at once.
Share on WhatsApp in one tap
Your family is already on WhatsApp. One tap shares the memorial with your family group. No email, no copying and pasting, no explaining what website to visit. Just a link, and everyone is there — close together, the way you always are when it matters.
You do not need to be there to show up. You do not need an account to begin. Take the first step when you are ready — the memorial will wait, and it will hold everything you give it with care.
