🎓 Class reunion feature
Honor the ones we lost. Beautifully.
A dedicated, respectful memorial wall for the classmates we've lost. Curated photos, moderated tributes, family verification, presentation mode for the event itself. Quiet, careful, never gimmicky.
Example memorial layout
The live wall is responsive and supports presentation mode for projection at the event.
How the memorial wall works
Curated photo wall
Each classmate gets a yearbook photo, full name, graduation year, and year of passing. Laid out in a quiet grid that scales gracefully from 5 entries to 50.
Optional brief tributes
Classmates can submit a short memory or kind line. Tributes appear under each photo when present — never forced, never empty. Some entries are just the name and that's perfect.
Moderated submission
Every tribute and new entry goes through a committee review queue before publishing. Catch typos, check tone, verify facts. No surprises on the live wall.
Embed, project, print
Embeds into your reunion hub, runs in presentation mode for projection during the event, and exports as a clean printable insert for the program.
Quiet, respectful design
Soft tones, generous spacing, no animations, no engagement metrics, no social features. Closer to a printed funeral program than a website — by design.
Family verification
Reunly prompts you to reach immediate family before publishing any new entry. A quiet 'request a change' link on the live wall lets family members reach the committee instantly.
Setting it up
Add entries with care
Committee members add names, photos, and graduation years. Reunly prompts you to verify each entry with immediate family before publishing.
Invite tribute submissions
Open a quiet form for classmates to submit a memory or kind line. All submissions queue for committee review before they go live.
Project it at the event
Run presentation mode during your moment of silence, the cocktail hour, or a dedicated memorial segment. Export the wall as a printed program insert too.
Why this matters
Designed with grief counselors and committees who've done this before
Class memorials get this wrong in two directions — either they're a hastily added slide at the end of the gala, or they become a tone-deaf social media wall with like buttons. Reunly's memorial wall sits between those — quiet enough to feel like a printed program, structured enough that the committee can manage it without hand-coding HTML. Every design choice was vetted by people who'd planned a memorial for their own class.

How do I add a classmate to the memorial wall?
A committee member adds the classmate's name, graduation year, year of passing, and a photo (yearbook or otherwise). Optional brief tribute text can be added. Before publishing, Reunly prompts the committee to verify with a family member when possible — a small step that prevents painful mistakes.
Can classmates write their own tributes?
Yes. Other classmates can submit brief written tributes — a memory, a favorite story, a kind line. Every submission goes into a moderation queue where a committee member reviews before it appears publicly. Tone, accuracy, and length are all checked before publishing.
What if a family member objects to inclusion?
Family wishes always come first. Reunly makes it easy to remove an entry instantly, and we recommend reaching out to immediate family before adding any classmate to the wall. The page also includes a quiet 'request a change' link so any family member can reach the committee directly.
Can I project the memorial wall at the reunion?
Yes. The memorial wall has a presentation mode designed for projection — large photos, gentle transitions, no UI chrome. Many committees run it on a loop during a moment of silence, or play it during the cocktail hour with soft music. It also exports as a printable program insert.
Does the memorial wall feel respectful, not gimmicky?
We designed this feature with grief counselors and former reunion committees who'd planned tributes for their own classes. The design is deliberately quiet — soft sage tones, generous spacing, no animations or 'social media' patterns. It feels closer to a printed program than a website. The wall is also separate from the rest of the reunion hub so it can stand alone with appropriate gravity.
Is the memorial wall free?
Yes. The classmate memorial wall is included free with every Class Reunion plan. We don't believe a tool for grief should be a paywall — every reunion deserves to honor its lost classmates properly.
