About
Lasting Memori is a free, web-based headstone design platform built to help families create meaningful memorial concepts during an emotionally sensitive time. Instead of heading straight to a monument company, families can explore design ideas at their own pace — from any device, at home — with no appointments or pressure involved. The tool offers a broad library of templates, artwork, and font options, letting users freely experiment with layouts and inscriptions without needing any design experience. Designs can be saved, edited, and revisited at any time. Once ready, users can publish their design and receive an email copy, then easily share it with family members or deliver it directly to a local monument professional via email or print. Lasting Memori is intentionally positioned as a concept-starter, not a finished product. Monument companies handle the technical refinements — spacing, centering, vector file preparation — ensuring the final stone is executed perfectly. The platform also offers a dedicated portal for monument companies and mortuaries to integrate the tool into their workflow. Ideal for families planning ahead, honoring a recently lost loved one, or collaborating across distances, Lasting Memori bridges the gap between personal vision and professional execution in the memorial industry.
