Virtual 3D Room of Remembrance

You can see the interior design of our first farvel.space. A red-leafed tree stands centrally in the middle of the room. Rows of wooden benches float curved in front of the stage, where both the lectern and the picture of the deceased can be seen.

In a world that is becoming increasingly digital, how can we participate in ceremonies of farewell and remembrance? Financial, professional, health reasons or too great local distances can prevent personal participation. Therefore, there is a need for new location-independent forms of shared mourning. This is becoming more important than ever, especially in times of the worldwide COVID 19 pandemic.

With the first virtual 3D Room of Remembrance, mourners say goodbye to a loved one in a specially developed virtual ceremony. Like in a museum of life, stories are shared and memories exchanged. In addition, this room can be set in a state of memory so that mourners can return to this place of farewell, remembrance and exchange at any time.

Testimonials

"In the future we will create virtual rooms as a powerful tool to bring people together and enrich conversations. The farvel.space is a very interesting example for that – and of elements that can complement traditional funeral ceremonies."

Stefanie SchillmöllerTrend Researcher and Analyst

"Much more is possible virtually and digitally than in the physical world. It can be more playful, and with that, a lightness can come in. You can remember the whole thing much better through that particular 3D experience than in a zoom call, for example."

Aikaterini PegkaMarketing Expert, Coach and Podcaster

„Das war einfach ungemein beeindruckend. Du hockst zu Hause vorm Bildschirm und bist trotzdem voll dabei. Der Raum, die Fotos, die Botschaften, dein eigener Avatar … Ich war so sehr Teil dieses Abschieds. Starke Idee. Unfassbar berührend!“

Steffen ConradFreelance Funeral Orator

"Often our speakers accompany farewells in which not all relatives can participate - for a variety of reasons. We are very happy to have found partners in farvel who literally give the relatives the space to experience the speech virtually. The spoken word in combination with the special atmosphere in the virtual farewell and remembrance rooms means an important added value for us to meet the wishes and needs of the loved ones."

Carina FritzFuneral speaker and founder of Wer Du Warst

Das Team von farvel.space leistet mit ihrem Angebot sowohl technisch als auch künstlerisch einen wichtigen Beitrag für unsere Gesellschaft.
