A Memorial in Three Steps
Candela helps you create something lasting for the person you love. In just a few minutes, you can build a memorial that your whole family can visit, contribute to, and carry with them.
Start with their name
Enter your loved one's name and upload a photo. Choose a prayer or blessing that feels right, and pick a theme that reflects who they were. The whole process takes about five minutes.
Every memorial starts on our free tier, so you can take your time and see how it feels before deciding on anything else.
Invite family to add memories
Share a link with your family and friends. They can upload photos from every chapter of your loved one's life, write in the guestbook, and light a candle to show they care.
Visitors don't need an account to participate. Just open the link and start sharing.
Keep them close
Save a digital prayer card to your Apple Wallet. It stays with you wherever your phone goes, no app required.
You can set location reminders for the places they loved, like their favorite park or the church where the service was held. Date reminders appear on birthdays and anniversaries. The card is always with you, a quiet reminder of someone you carry in your heart.
