Saying goodbye together, and keeping their memory alive.
You are going through days when everything moves fast and nothing is simple. Souvenance opens a space for you to share, a single link, where the announcement, the order of the ceremonies and everyone’s memories come together. And stay.

Yaoundé, then Bafang
A passing brings people together
An announcement to make. Arrangements to keep on track. Ceremonies, places, loved ones arriving from far away. All around you, many people want to know, to help, to be there.
Souvenance gives them one place to meet. You open it, you fill it in at your own pace, and everyone finds what they are looking for without you having to say the same thing ten times. When a time changes, everyone sees it.
A printed programme says what is planned, and then it stops. This portal stays with you, and when the ceremonies are over, it does not close.
See how it works
From the announcement to the memories, a family’s space in 1 min 34. Jean-Christophe is a fictional example.
A space that stays with you
The same address, from the first hours to long afterwards. Each part opens when you are ready.

In Memory
And afterwardsThe photos, the film, the words of those who knew them. A candle anyone can light, which burns for a month.
What takes the weight off you
- Contribution numbers within easy reachOrange Money and MTN open in one tap, with the account holder’s name shown to avoid any mistake when sending.
- Everyone knows who to talk toThe committee’s contacts and the list of its members, so that people are not looking for you.
- Those far away take part tooFamily abroad follow the up-to-date programme, contribute through the transfer services they already use, leave a message and discover the photos and the film after the ceremonies.
- A funeral as you imagined itYou put together the order of events the way your family lives it. Souvenance adapts to your reality, whatever your faith.
- Even where the network is weakIn the village or on the road, a space already opened stays readable. What is written offline is sent when the network comes back.
Paper ends up in a drawer. Their memory asks to live on.
When the ceremonies are over, everyone goes home and the silence falls again, often just when the presence of others is missed the most. Here, nothing closes. A cousin shares a photo from twenty years ago. A colleague recalls a morning at the office. Someone lights a candle, and you see that people still think of them.
What their loved ones have written, those who come after will one day read.
And when your pack ends, nothing is deleted: the space stays open to view.

Open your spaceQuestions people ask us
Who can see it?
Those you give the link to. It does not appear in search engines: it is passed from hand to hand.
Can I change it after sending it?
As often as you like. The link stays the same, and whatever you correct is visible at once.
Can anyone write whatever they like?
You decide. Messages in the book are submitted to you before they appear, and you can do the same for shared photos.
What happens when the pack ends?
Nothing is deleted. The space stays open to view; only new contributions close. You can extend it whenever you wish.
And where the network is weak?
A space already opened stays readable without a connection, and messages written without network are sent as soon as it returns.
