In short

You can make a memorial service invitation online for free with IndiaDigital Invites: choose one of 4 memorial service themes, add each function (Memorial service and Tea & memories) with date, time, venue and a map, write the words in English and Hindi (or another Indian language), and share one link on WhatsApp. Guests need no app or login, RSVP is optional and worded gently, and the page is deleted 7, 30 or 90 days after the event.

Christian families in India, in Kerala, Goa, Mangaluru, Mumbai, the Northeast and elsewhere, often hold a memorial service or memorial mass some days after the funeral, and again on the thirtieth day or the first anniversary. It is a time to give thanks for a life, sing the hymns the person loved, share a few memories and then sit together over tea. Increasingly, families also hold a simple celebration of life in a hall or at home.

This page lets you invite people with warmth and dignity. Add the service at the church or chapel with a Google Maps button, the tea or lunch afterwards and any later mass, and if you wish, a short photo story of the person’s life. The page uses calm mode, soft colours, no music and no animation, and people can let the family know they will attend. It is deleted automatically after the days you choose.

What your guests get

  • Service, tea and any later memorial mass with timings
  • Church or hall location with a Google Maps button
  • A short photo story celebrating their life
  • Calm mode: no music, soft colours
