How it works
Set it up once. Your guests do the rest.
Setting up a memorial gallery takes about two minutes: name the event, add a cover photo, and choose whether guests can send photos, videos and voice. You get one QR code and a short link to share. Place the code where guests gather, and memories arrive all night into your private gallery — with no app to download and no account for anyone to create.
- *Create your memorial event — name it, add a cover, pick photo, video and voice.
- *Print and place the QR — welcome table, tables, or a quick announcement.
- *Relive it forever — everything lands in a private vault you keep.
Every angle
The moments no single camera catches.
The best memorial moments are almost always the unplanned ones — caught by the people in the room, from angles no hired photographer can reach. When every guest is a camera, you stop relying on one person's viewpoint and start collecting the whole night: the reactions across the room, the small candid moments, and the short clips that turn out to matter most.
- *Photos from across a whole life, from everyone who has them.
- *Short clips and recorded stories.
- *Spoken memories — the voices that mean the most.
Private & yours
A private gallery — not a public feed.
Gooya is write-only for guests: they send their own photos and videos and never browse what everyone else uploaded, so nothing turns into a public feed during your event. You stay in control — decide when (or whether) guests see the gallery, hide or remove anything you don't want, and download every original in one ZIP whenever you like. The memories are private, and they're yours to keep.
- *Write-only for guests — no public posts, no comparing.
- *Host-controlled reveal — seal it, then open it together.
- *One-click ZIP download keeps your own backup.
A calm place to gather memories
One private space for everything about someone loved.
After a loss, photos and stories of the person are scattered across dozens of phones and families. A memorial gallery gives everyone one calm, private place to add what they have — photos from across a whole life, short videos, and spoken memories. Nothing is public, and the family controls it all, so it becomes a gentle, lasting archive rather than a painful scramble.
- *Photos from across a lifetime, from everyone who has them.
- *Short clips and recorded stories in one place.
- *Private to the family — never a public feed.
The voices matter most
Spoken memories are the keepsake families treasure.
Years later, what families return to is the sound of a voice telling a story. Gooya lets each person record a spoken memory — how they met, a moment they shared, what the person meant to them. Collected beside the photos, those voice messages become the most treasured part of the archive, in the words of the people who were there.
- *Each guest records a spoken memory or story.
- *Kept alongside the photos in one gallery.
- *The keepsake families replay for years.
Tone and dignity
Memorial events use calm, respectful wording.
A memorial is not a party, and the experience reflects that. The prompts and copy are gentle and respectful — never festive or wedding-style language — and the gallery is private to the family from the first upload. The family decides what is gathered, what is shown, and what is kept, with no pressure and no public exposure.
- *Respectful, non-festive prompts throughout.
- *Private to the family by default.
- *The family controls what's gathered and kept.
How to invite contributions
Share the code at the service and with family afar.
Place a small QR card at the service or celebration of life, and share the same link with relatives who can't attend. A gentle line — "share a photo or a memory of [name]" — invites people to contribute in their own time. Those who are grieving can add what they're ready to, whenever they're ready, from anywhere.
- *A discreet QR card at the service.
- *The same link shared with family who can't attend.
- *Contribute privately, in your own time.
Keeping it
A lasting archive the family owns.
Everything can be downloaded in one ZIP — photos, videos and voice memories — so the family keeps their own copy. Keep the vault active and the archive stays available for anniversaries and for relatives to revisit. The renewal is a clear, honest price; the memories are never quietly deleted.
- *One-click download of everything gathered.
- *Keep the vault for anniversaries and family access.
- *Transparent renewal — never a silent deletion.
For the family organizing it
Less to coordinate, in a hard week.
Organizing a memorial is heavy, and collecting photos usually means a dozen separate texts and email threads. One QR code and link replace all of that: relatives add what they have, in their own time, to one private place. There's nothing to chase and nothing to assemble by hand — the archive builds itself gently, and the family can step back and let people contribute when they're ready.
- *One link instead of dozens of message threads.
- *Relatives contribute in their own time.
- *Nothing to assemble by hand in a hard week.
Sharing with those who couldn't attend
Include everyone, wherever they are.
Not everyone can travel for a service. The same private link lets distant family and friends add their own photos and record a spoken memory, so they're part of the gathering even from afar. When the family is ready, they can share a read-only view of the collected memories with relatives who couldn't be there — keeping everyone connected around the person they're remembering.
- *Distant family can add photos and spoken memories.
- *A read-only view to share when the family is ready.
- *Everyone included around one private archive.
