Our Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a respectful, accessible and enduring digital platform where families can announce the passing of loved ones, celebrate their lives, preserve their stories and provide a place for communities to share messages of remembrance and support.

Our Values

Buriani is designed around principles appropriate to the sensitive nature of remembrance and bereavement.

Dignity

We seek to provide a respectful environment for remembering people and sharing their stories.

Respect

We recognise that every family, individual and community experiences bereavement differently.

Community

We provide a place where family, friends and communities can come together to remember and support one another.

Responsibility

We aim to handle memorial content and personal information responsibly and provide mechanisms for inappropriate content to be reviewed.

Respectful & Responsible Memorials

Obituary notices submitted to Buriani are subject to review before being made publicly available. Tributes may also be moderated before appearing on a memorial.

We are also developing reporting mechanisms that allow visitors to bring potentially inappropriate, inaccurate or concerning content to the attention of the site administrator for review.

Supporting Families Beyond the Memorial

Families dealing with bereavement may need assistance from funeral homes, transport providers, florists, caterers, printers, photographers, venues, counsellors and other professionals.

Buriani is developing a service-provider directory intended to make it easier for families to identify relevant funeral and memorial services in one place.
