A simpler way to coordinate the farewell and preserve what matters

Kwa-Heri by Zelora is a funeral-coordination and digital-remembrance platform that helps families bring funeral information, support, tributes, and memories together in one simple memorial link.

When plans change, families can update the same link instead of repeatedly sharing new information across calls, WhatsApp groups, posters, and different relatives.

And beyond the funeral, the memorial remains a place to preserve and return to their loved one’s story.

Family spending meaningful time together and preserving shared memories.

Built for a time when families already have enough to carry

When someone passes away, families are grieving while suddenly having to coordinate everything around the farewell.

Funeral details need to be shared. Meetings and locations change. Contributions need to be communicated. A eulogy has to come together. Family and friends keep asking for updates, while loved ones abroad may struggle to stay involved. Often, one person ends up carrying much of that responsibility.

Kwa-Heri was built to take some of that coordination burden off the family’s shoulders - bringing the important information, people, and memories together in one place.

From the first announcement to remembrance beyond the funeral

Kwa-Heri supports families through the different stages of the farewell.

Funeral Announcement

Share the passing and keep everyone informed through one simple link.

Add funeral and burial details, meetings, locations, contribution information, family contacts, and important updates as plans change.

Digital Eulogy

Bring their life story and the farewell together in one lasting digital space.

Include the biography, order of service, hymns and readings, photos, videos, tributes, and farewell memories.

Family & Community Participation

Give family and friends a respectful way to stay involved wherever they are.

Loved ones can follow updates, contribute support, leave tributes, share memories, and participate even when they cannot attend in person.

Anniversary Remembrance

Continue remembering together beyond the funeral day.

Families can return on meaningful dates to share reflections, new memories, photos, candle lighting, and remembrance gathering details.

More than an online obituary

Kwa-Heri does more than announce a passing.

It gives families one shared place to coordinate the farewell now and preserve the memories they will want to return to later.

With Kwa-Heri, families can:

  • Share funeral announcements and real-time updates
  • Coordinate funeral, burial, meeting, and venue information
  • Share contribution information and track support
  • Build an editable Digital Eulogy together
  • Collect tributes, condolences, photos, and memories
  • Invite trusted relatives to help manage the memorial
  • Share one link and QR code with family and friends
  • Embed a YouTube livestream provided by the family’s media team
  • Preserve the memorial beyond the funeral
  • Return for anniversary remembrance

Designed with dignity, privacy, and family control

Every family should remain in control of how their loved one is remembered and who can participate.

Privacy that fits the family

Choose whether a memorial is public, private, link-only, or password-protected.

Tribute moderation

Review and approve submitted tributes before they appear publicly.

Family collaboration

Invite trusted relatives to help update information, build the Digital Eulogy, and manage the memorial.

Editable information

Update funeral details whenever plans change without having to create and redistribute a new announcement.

Access from anywhere

Family and friends can stay informed and participate wherever they are in the world.

Clear contribution support

Share contribution information clearly and keep support connected to the correct family memorial.

Built for African families, connected wherever they are

Kwa-Heri is being built with the realities of African families in mind - families that may be spread across cities, counties, countries, and continents but still come together when someone they love passes away.

Distance should not mean being left out of the farewell.

Whether someone is nearby or abroad, Kwa-Heri gives the family one shared place for updates, support, tributes, and remembrance.

Built with care for life’s difficult moments

Kwa-Heri is a product by Zelora, a team building thoughtful digital experiences around life’s defining moments.

We believe families should not have to choose between coordinating the farewell and preserving the story of the person they love.

Technology cannot remove the grief of losing someone, but it can make the work around the farewell clearer, more collaborative, and a little less overwhelming.
