My Graves Lite Version 1.1

The concept of honoring the deceased has held significant cultural importance across civilizations throughout history. These practices vary based on traditions and beliefs, serving as a means to facilitate the departed in their transition while also providing reassurance to the living that they need not fear any potential repercussions.

My Graves Lite stands out as more than just a typical virtual cemetery. Unlike conventional platforms that offer limited options, My Graves Lite provides a space where users can genuinely express simple acts of remembrance for their departed loved ones.

Users can personalize tombstones by selecting materials, photographs, and epitaphs, and are encouraged to engage in traditional acts of care such as choosing flowers, tending to surfaces, and relighting candles—reflecting longstanding ancestral practices observed over centuries.

In this immersive experience, users must consider factors like the wilting of flowers if not kept moist, the accumulation of dust on tombstones, and the gradual extinguishing of candles within a 24-hour period. These details contribute to a realistic and complete visitation experience that enables individuals to engage in daily rituals that provide solace and foster a renewed connection with their departed loved ones.

The primary objective of this application is to offer solace to individuals who are unable to visit the final resting places of their beloved ones physically.

Dedicated to Grandmother Clara, whose visits to Carmen's gravesite brought her a sense of peace for as long as she could make the journey.
