In an age where so much of our lives are put on display through social media, RipCemetery is an app for dealing with loss in private, so that users can take time to remember the deceased that doesn't leave them feeling exposed or vulnerable in times of mourning.
The app provides a safe space to set up a virtual memorial to a loved one and leave flowers, photos and special messages in order to remember those who have passed on. Since visiting an actual grave site is not always possible, this is a comforting way for modern mobile users to revisit fond memories, especially since the RipCemetery app lets its users customize a headstone's textures and pictures to properly acknowledge the deceased.
