The constellation above
DeadBook
BY ETHOS
A life becomes a place you can visit — and a thing you can hold.
THE SKY AND THE EARTH
THE CONSTELLATION ABOVE
Ethos is the sky — where the memories live, kept true to who said them, shared only by consent.
THE ANCHOR IN YOUR HANDS
DeadBook is the earth — the place your family visits, and the stone you keep.
One remembers with proof. The other remembers with permanence. The thread between them is gold.
THE FIVE QUESTIONS
There is no form to fill. There are five questions.
In Jewish memory, a visitor leaves a small stone: I was here; you are not forgotten. A DeadBook memorial begins the same way — five questions, answered in your own words, each one a stone placed.
WHO
Who were they — how would you introduce them to someone who never met them?
Start anywhere. The person, not the résumé.
LOVED
What did they love? The people, the small daily joys, the things they kept close.
Small things count — the morning coffee, the garden, the song.
A STORY
Tell one story about them the family always comes back to.
Tell it the way you tell it at the table.
FELT LIKE
What did it feel like to be near them? How do people remember them?
Their presence — what changed when they walked in.
BRINGS BACK
Is there a place, a scent, a song — something that brings them back?
Wherever they still are, for you.
By voice or in writing. Take your time — there is no wrong answer.
A MEMORIAL FORMS
Your family's memories become a constellation — private until your family chooses otherwise.
The words here will be your family’s.
Verbatim, attributed, and always correctable.
Organized by AI from your family's own words — nothing invented.
Every line stays traced to the person who said it.
Private first. Shared only when your family chooses.
WHAT STAYS SACRED
NEVER THE PERSON
DeadBook never claims to be the person. It keeps what was truly said. No séance, no simulation.
ONLY WITH THE RIGHT
A memorial is made by the people with the right to make it, and belongs to the family.
DERIVED, NEVER INVENTED
Every suggestion is drawn from your own words and explained. You see the reason, you make the choice.
A memorial, not a social network
No feeds, no streaks, no notifications from the dead. Restraint is the register.
THE MEMORYSTONE
Hold something real
From your five answers, DeadBook suggests a stone — its material, its tone, the line engraved on it — and tells you why, in your family’s own words. You see the reason, you change anything, you approve every choice.
The stone itself is crafted by request — made to order, one at a time.
When your family is ready
Five questions, in your own time, in your own words, for the person you’re remembering.
Private first. Shared only when your family chooses.
