Everyone has a story about them.
Give those stories a home.
Carn collects every memory — written, photographed, filmed — into one place that belongs to your family, forever.
Create a Memorial — It's FreeYou're probably doing this during the hardest week of your life.
We know. Carn is built to be set up in minutes, not hours. There are no design decisions to make, no templates to pick, no colour schemes to agonise over.
Enter a name. Upload a photo. Share a link. That's it. Your memorial is live, and the people who loved them can start contributing immediately — from their phones, without creating an account or downloading anything.
The most complicated thing about Carn is deciding what name to call the memorial.
Every kind of memory. In one place.
Written memories
The stories. The inside jokes. The "I never told you but..." moments that only one person knows. The things that would otherwise disappear when that person walks out of the wake and doesn't see the family for years.
Photos
The candid ones. The blurry ones taken at Christmas in 1998. The ones that make you laugh and cry at the same time. Not the posed portraits — the real photos, the ones with context and history that only the person sharing them knows.
Videos
The voice you don't want to forget. The laugh. The way they told a story, with all the pauses and the hand gestures. Video is the thing grief most desperately wants and technology has made possible. It belongs here.
Candles
A gesture. A way to say "I'm thinking of you" without needing words, without having to write something when you don't have the words yet. Some people aren't writers. The candle is for them.
At the funeral. At the wake. Wherever people gather.
Print the QR code and place it at the service, on the table at the wake, beside the flowers, in the order of service. Anyone with a phone can scan it and add a memory in under 60 seconds.
No app to download. No account to create. They scan, they type, they're done. The memory goes into the moderation queue, and once it's approved, it's part of the memorial permanently.
The people who travel furthest to be there — the ones you haven't seen in years — often have the richest stories. The QR code is the reason they share them.
Your QR code
Generated automatically when you create your memorial. Download, print, and place it anywhere.
Turn their stories into something you can hold.
Once the memories are in, order a printed hardcover memory book. Every memory, every photo, laid out beautifully and delivered to your door. The kind of thing that sits on the shelf for the rest of your life and gets passed down.
If a printed book isn't for you, PDF export is free on all plans. Download every memory as a formatted document and keep it wherever you keep important things.

AI moderation
Every memory is reviewed before it goes live. The AI understands grief — raw language, strong emotion, and personal stories are fine. Cruelty and targeted attacks are not.
Password protection
Add a password to restrict access to people you personally invite. The memorial is yours — you decide who sees it.
No search indexing
Memorials are not indexed by Google or any search engine. Only people with the link can find it. A stranger cannot stumble across your family's memorial.
