How do I mark someone as passed away?

We're so sorry for your loss. Open their card, press Edit and add their date of death – even just a year is fine – or a cause of death. The tree then knows they're no longer with us. If you'd like, you can also remember them in the birthday banner on the days that matter.

Where to find it

  • Person page → Edit, far right

    Only people with the "Edit" tick.

On a phone: if the card's buttons are tucked away, press ☰ Menu first.
