A place on Facebook to remember. Together.

How do we handle death on Facebook?

• Profiles stay up, yet are frozen in time. Silenced.

• Liking something related to death just feels wrong.

• There’s no way to separate what you post or control when and where it’s mixed into the newsfeed. [Seeing the obituary of a loved one pop up between party pics and a fashion post doesn’t feel right.]

There is no fitting or appropriate enough way to handle death on Facebook.

How we were moved...It was easy for our team to unite around this cause because each of us have been there. We’ve all lost someone, and experienced the emotional struggle of dealing with death on Facebook first hand. We built Sanctri to fill this void. Each of us wanted a better way to remember. We felt the world needed one, too.
