Our own venture · Departed Digital

A gentle service, built and grown in house.

Departed Digital closes or memorialises a loved one’s social media, email and other online accounts, so the family doesn’t have to. It’s our own service, which makes it the place we test everything we sell: the website, the search content and the growth plan.

The project

The problem

When someone dies, their accounts stay open. Every platform has its own form, its own proof and its own wait, and families are asked to deal with it at the worst possible time.

  • Facebook, Instagram, Google and Apple all ask for different things
  • Requests get turned down over small mistakes
  • Nobody should need a password to close an account

What we built

A service that takes the whole job off the family, from the first form to the final confirmation.

  • A calm website that explains the process in plain words
  • A checkout that shows each visitor their own currency
  • A private case desk that tracks every request to the end

What we built

Careful words. Clear steps.

Calm, plain design

Soft colours, a classic serif and short sentences, because people arrive here grieving.

Free guides for every platform

Step by step guides for Facebook, Instagram, Apple, Google, email and more, for families who want to do it themselves.

No passwords, ever

Families share proof such as a death certificate after booking, and we use each platform’s own bereavement request.

Local currency

Visitors in the UK, the US and elsewhere see the service priced in their own currency.

A case desk behind it

Every case and every platform request is tracked in one private place, with a written record for the family at the end.

Partners, not just ads

A pack for funeral directors, so families hear about the service from someone they already trust.

Where it is now

Live, and growing the way we grow clients.

Departed Digital is live for families in the UK and worldwide. It is still early, so it is where we try the search, content and partner work we recommend before we recommend it.
