Galeira for memorials 🕯
Photos and voices from a life. Gathered by the people who loved them.
Quiet, private collection. One QR in the memorial program lets family — local and distant — contribute photos and voice messages spanning the person's whole life. Approved originals mirror to a cloud account the family owns, so the archive remains in their connected cloud.
Right now you're emailing 60 relatives 'please send your photos'.
Whoever is organizing the memorial spends a week chasing photos by email — AOL accounts with downscaled attachments, half the photos blurry, cousins in different countries forgetting to send. The slideshow gets assembled in PowerPoint at midnight. Galeira replaces this with one QR: family members anywhere upload directly. The slideshow auto-generates. The full archive stays with the family.
How Galeira fits this
Built for 🕯 memorials
Pre-service photo collection
Print the QR in the memorial program or email the link to distant relatives a week ahead. Photos pour in from across the family. The full archive is ready before the service starts.
Auto-generated memorial slideshow
Every uploaded photo plays in chronological order during the service, on whatever screen is available. Slow Ken Burns, ambient mode — no Powerpoint needed.
Voice messages from anyone who couldn't attend
Family abroad who couldn't fly in — they call a dedicated phone number, leave a voice message. It plays during the service and sits with the album in your connected cloud account as a private archive of who they were.
Private by design — never public
The album is family-only. No public discoverability, no SEO indexing, no third-party sharing. Encrypted at rest. The kind of privacy this moment deserves.
Free for unlimited events. Includes 5,000 uploads per event. Paid tiers from $29 one-time.
Frequently asked
Is this respectful? It sounds techy.+
Galeira is built for the family doing the collection — not the public. The QR is just a contribution channel; nobody sees it but family. The auto-slideshow is private. The mirrored archive lives in your connected cloud account.
We want to do this before the service. Can family contribute from far away?+
Yes — email or text the link to anyone, anywhere. Distant relatives upload from wherever they are. The full archive is ready before the service.
What about funeral homes — can they run this for us?+
We're building a funeral-home product (Phase 5 of our roadmap). For now, any family member can set up the album themselves in three minutes.
How do we keep the album for the long term?+
On the Forever tier ($59) approved originals auto-mirror to your own Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, S3, or WebDAV — files remain in the family's connected cloud account, with mirror status you can verify.
Can we add to the album in the years after?+
Yes — the album stays open. Anniversaries, family weddings where the person is remembered, new photos found — all can be added over time.
An archive of who they were.
