It started with my father.
ÌRÀNTÍ exists because I lost my dad and wanted somewhere his whole life could live, not a page with two dates on it.
In Nigeria a funeral programme is often the fullest record a family ever has of someone: photographs, a biography, tributes, small details that live nowhere else. Then the service ends, the programme is put away, and within a few years it is lost or falling apart.
The first one we built.
His photographs, his timeline, his sermons and books, the songs and food he loved, the philanthropic work, and the stories people told about him. Family and friends could return to it and add their own. That is when this stopped being one memorial and became a platform.
More than an obituary.
A designed digital book of someone’s life, with room for the details that make them recognisable to anyone who reads it.
The timeline and gallery
Photographs, milestones and achievements, presented with the care of a curated exhibition rather than an upload folder.
Stories of impact
Interests, personality, favourite things and contributions, with room for the memories other people bring.
Personal works
Sermons, books, writings and recordings: the things a person made, which usually outlive the summary of their life.
Every memorial should feel as though it was designed for that one person and no one else.
That is why there are five themes rather than one template with a colour picker, and why the archive is yours to download on any engagement. The point is preserving people’s stories, not documenting their deaths, and preservation that depends on us staying in business is not preservation.
Give a life somewhere to live.
Open a private draft with their name, or ask us to build it with you.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
