Your profile appears beside your care

When you leave a message, light a candle, or help manage a memorial hall, relatives may see your profile name and avatar. A recognizable identity makes the memorial feel warmer and avoids confusion about who visited.

Choose a clear display name

Use a real name, family role, or respectful nickname that relatives can understand. Avoid names that are too casual for a memorial setting. If several family members share a device, each person should use their own account when possible.

Keep the avatar simple

A clear portrait or simple family image is enough. The purpose is not decoration. It helps visitors understand who is speaking, especially when messages become part of the long-term family record.

Begin gentlyKeep remembrance in a place your family can return to.

A memorial can start small and become richer as relatives add photos, stories, and messages.
