For Sikh families

One page for the rites, the details, and everyone who wants to be there

A Sikh funeral is not one afternoon. It runs from the Antam Sanskar to the tenth day, and the people who need to know are rarely all in one country. This is somewhere to put all of it, that anyone can open from anywhere.

What goes on the page

  • The Antam Sanskar

    The gurdwara, the date and the time, with directions that open in whichever maps app someone already uses.

  • The tenth day

    The reading is completed on the tenth day, often at the gurdwara and commonly followed by langar. It goes on the page as its own occasion, not as a footnote to the funeral.

  • A livestream link

    For family who cannot travel. If relatives are in Toronto, Delhi or Melbourne, this is usually the part that matters most.

  • What to expect, said plainly

    A note about covering your head, removing shoes before the prayer hall, and langar being served to everyone who comes, so nobody has to ask.

  • Tributes from everyone who knew them

    Words, photographs and candles, gathered in one place instead of scattered across a dozen group chats.

  • One link to share

    Send it once to the family WhatsApp group. Everyone who opens it sees the same details, kept up to date.

Have a look first

An example, so you can see it before you start

We built one for a family who do not exist, so you can look around a finished memorial without intruding on anybody’s grief. It is clearly marked as an example on every screen.

What it costs

  • Free to begin

    Free to create and free for its first 90 days. No card needed to start.

  • Yours to keep forever

    A one-time £50 keeps the memorial online for good, with no ads and no subscription, ever.

If you are arranging one now

Our guide to Sikh funerals sets out what happens and in what order, from the time of death through to the tenth day, written against the Sikh Rehat Maryada and other named sources rather than assembled from blogs. It answers the practical questions too: what to wear, how long it takes, and whether you need to be Sikh to attend.
