CONTENT POLICY

What memorials are for

• Honoring a real person who has died.
• Sharing names, dates, photos, biography, and tributes that the family or community wants remembered.
• Allowing visitors to light a candle and leave a written tribute.

What is not allowed

• Memorials for people who are still alive, or for fictional people.
• Impersonation, harassment, threats, or doxxing.
• Hateful content, slurs, or content targeting protected groups.
• Sexual content, gore, or shock content.
• Advertising, spam, scams, link farms, or commercial promotion.
• Political campaigning or fundraising.
• Medical, legal, or financial advice.
• Photos or written content that you do not have the right to upload.
• Content that violates the law or any third-party right.

Review and moderation

New memorials are reviewed before they become public. Most pending memorials are reviewed within a few business days. Pending memorials are visible to the person who created them but not to the general public, and are not included in search results, the homepage, or shared social previews.

If a memorial is approved and you later discover that it violates this policy, please report it to support@vigilgarden.com. We may hide or remove it during review.

Sensitive edits

Edits to a memorial’s name, dates, photo, or biography may send the memorial back into review before the change becomes public. This is to protect the people being remembered and to keep the site trustworthy.
