My Graves Lite

The cult of the dead has always been an important element in all civilizations. Depending on traditions and beliefs, paying homage to the deceased was a way to help them in their transition from life to elsewhere, but also an insurance for those who remained that they did not have to fear their revenge.

My Graves Lite is not just a virtual cemetery. In classic virtual cemeteries you can usually only choose a tombstone and a photograph.

My Graves Lite instead is a place where you can sincerely express simple acts of care towards those who are no longer with us.

In addition to personalizing the tombstones, choosing materials, photographs and epitaphs, we will have to think about the flowers, cleaning surfaces and rekindling the candles on the tombs, just as our ancestors did for centuries.

If the flowers are not wet, they will first wilt, then dry out, forcing us to change them and choose new ones. The tombstone will become dusty and the candle will go out within 24 hours.

In this way the experience of a visit to the cemetery is complete and real and we will have the opportunity to make those daily gestures that, in their rituality, give a little serenity and renew, through the care, the link with our disappeared affections.

We would like this app to be useful to all those who cannot physically go to the burial places of their loved ones.
