The qualities of death cleaning.
Mémoire
Mémoire is a service that combines digital and physical touchpoints to facilitate the process of death cleaning - the act of organizing and decluttering belongings before death. Through a mobile app and physical kit, users can document and preserve stories of their sentimental items, creating both physical and digital archives. The service supports three core values: personal legacy preservation, practical assistance for families, and breaking societal taboos around death. Users can participate in community activities, share their archives with loved ones, and ensure their belongings and stories are meaningfully preserved. Mémorie helps reduce the burden on families while creating opportunities for reflection and connection across generations.
