About Revere
Revere was founded with a mission to redefine the memorial experience for the next generation. Through innovative design and cutting-edge technology, we aim to create personalized, meaningful tributes that truly celebrate life. Our platform fosters deeper connections between families and their loved ones, empowering funeral homes to offer collaborative, evolving memorials that allow families to continuously engage and honor their cherished memories.
Core Vision: We believe that "a life well-lived is a life well-remembered," and through Revere, we make that vision a reality by providing families and friends the space to share stories, memories, and legacies that endure.
Guiding Principles: Compassion, connection, and innovation drive every aspect of Revere, from product design to user experience.
Building a Collaborative Obituary Platform: Revere CURATE
Following the success of Revere TOUCH, we began developing Revere CURATE, our flagship app. CURATE is an online collaborative obituary platform that connects with TOUCH, offering users a range of compelling functions. With CURATE, users can create timelines, co-create content, share memories, record stories, and manage memorial events. CURATE also allows users to leave "digital message bottles" and order keepsakes like memory books, creating a dynamic, interactive memorial experience.
Key Features: Curated timelines, collaborative content creation, memorial events management, keepsake ordering, and digital message sharing.
Impact: CURATE bridges the gap between digital and physical remembrance, allowing users to craft a unique and evolving memorial space that can be shared with loved ones.
Research and Testing CURATE
We conducted a comprehensive SWOT analysis and user journey to identify CURATE. Following by developing detailed user personas to better understand our users' needs and expectations, followed by a user flow to ensure seamless navigation through the platform. Rigorous A/B testing was conducted to refine key features, layouts, and interactions.
Research Insights: Users desired intuitive navigation, emotional touchpoints, and easy collaboration features.
Outcome: Based on feedback, we refined CURATE to be both functional and emotionally resonant, ensuring it met the needs of families and funeral service providers alike.
Prototyping Revere CURATE (Laptop and Phone)
We developed prototypes of CURATE for both laptop and mobile to ensure accessibility across devices, reflecting the diverse ways users might interact with the platform. The prototype provided an interactive simulation of CURATE, enabling stakeholders to experience the platform's collaborative and personalized features.
Guest Prototype: Designed for family and friends to view, interact with, and contribute to the memorial.
Host Prototype: Equipped funeral service providers with tools to manage and update memorials on behalf of clients.
Outcome: Testing showed high engagement with both prototypes, confirming that CURATE’s cross-platform design was successful in delivering an impactful experience.
