Etherstone

A life remembered, forever present

A lasting place for everything that made someone who they were — their story, their music, their service, and the memories only your family can tell.

How it works

1

The memorial is created

Your funeral home builds the memorial during arrangements — biography, photos, service details, and military honors — and hands it to your family.

2

Your family makes it yours

Sign in to add memories, photos, recipes, and recordings. Invite relatives, choose what stays family-only, and keep adding over the years.

3

Remember, anywhere

Enter the memorial ID at etherstone.net — or scan the QR marker at the resting place — to open the memorial on any phone.

Everything a life deserves

📖

Rich life profiles

Biography, hometown, occupation, faith, and the milestones that defined a life.

🔒

Private family memories

Stories, messages, and any media kept family-only are shown to verified family members only — not sent to anonymous visitors, and stored so they can't be fetched by public URL.

🎵

Favorite music

The songs that meant the most, with the personal notes behind each one.

🎖️

Military service honors

Branch, rank, conflicts, and decorations presented with the dignity they deserve.

🪙

Engraved steel markers

A solid engraved steel coin at the resting place, showing the memorial ID — enter it at etherstone.net, or scan the QR version where present.

👥

Your whole family, together

Invite relatives to add their own memories and photos — you approve what appears, and choose who can edit.

For families

The stories that would otherwise be lost

An obituary is a few hundred words. A life is not. Etherstone keeps the rest — the recipe in her handwriting, the songs he played on a Sunday, the voice on an old recording, the memories your relatives add in their own words.

Some of it belongs to everyone who visits. Some of it belongs only to your family. You decide which is which, section by section.

  • Memories from relatives, with your approval before they appear
  • Family-only photos, video, and recordings kept from anonymous visitors
  • Recipes, music, family tree, and military honors
  • A complete archive you can download and keep — works offline, forever

No funeral home involved?

If someone you love has died and there is nowhere online that holds their story, you can make one here. You don't need a funeral home to do it for you — we ask for a few details and a link to a published obituary, and a person reads every memorial before it goes live.
