For funeral directors
Open Memorial App Memorial portal
In one sentence: enter the details, check the flipbook proof with the family, then approve once. The system keeps a clear record of who approved which version.

1. Open the app

  1. Go to the Memorial Publishing login page.

3. Your two options

Quick Build

You enter the details and use Design to layout fonts, positions and images.

InHouse Design

You enter the details and send them to Le Bureau. They design the artwork and return a proof for you to approve.

4. Enter the details (Memorial Studio)

1 Enter the deceased name and dates of birth / death (use the date pickers).
2 Add service wording, cover text and any inside-page copy from the family.
3 Upload photos if the family has supplied them. Photos are optional.
Dates: enter with the picker. On the finished Order of Service they print in long form, e.g. 18th June 1940 to 29th July 2026.

5. Design (Quick Build only)

Enter the words in Studio. Do the visual formatting in Design — that keeps data entry fast.

6. Proof with the family

1 Go to Proof & Approval.
2 Open Family Flipbook (Proof) — it turns like a book and is marked PROOF.
3 Optional: Email Proof to Family to send them a private link.
4 If changes are needed, revise / request changes and check the new proof.

7. Approve for production

When the proof is correct:

  1. Click Approve Latest Version for Production.
  2. Confirm the prompt — this signs off that revision (including name and dates).
No family photos? You do not need an extra photo step. The system marks photo clearance as Not needed.
If you change the memorial after approving, approve the new revision again before print. The system will warn if approval is out of date.

8. Order Record (your safety net)

On Proof & Approval, open Order Record to see:
