A caretaker code is a 16-character code issued to an ebit when it's created. This code can be used to gain immediate access to an ebit upon requesting caretaker access. The code is visible on your MyEbit caretaker card, which is a wallet-sized card that can be printed and carried with you.
When an ebit is marked public, it's visible to all users and may turn up in MyEbit search results. Contrarily, the ebit is not visible to the public and will not allow interaction if it's marked private.

The loss we have suffered is heavy in my heart.
The love we have shared will forever give me strength.
Though now we weep, our joyful memories shall live on.
So many smiles, so many warm embraces, filled with love and laughter.
Our family will remain, our hearts never the same,
But know how much I love you, and how much I will be here for you.
In this time of need, in this time of sorrow, take comfort in our family.
As a child, you were my strength.
As a child, you were my comfort.
In my youth, you were my wisdom.
In my youth, you were my guide.
In your sorrow, let me be strength,
And let me comfort. Let me guide.
In your sorrow, let me be wisdom,
And let me love. Let me cry.
Take now the heartache from your mind,
And let me help the burden lessen.
Love through time,
In breath and death,
My dearest.
Hearts forever
Changed, healing.
Pity us,
Lost without you.
Great longing
For stronger days.
Your love clear,
In our minds.
Courage now, in this, the hour of mourning.
We will forever remember our loved one in happiness.
My sympathies for your children, my condolences for your loss.
Know that we love you, with everything that we have,
And if ever you need anything, we will be here for you.
Weeping slows to crawl down my cheek,
The hour passes with a dim, sad melody.
This aching never known to our hearts,
Painfully stealing away the days and nights.

Things chime sweetly with remembrance of you.
A chair to rest, as you played with us as children.
A note wrote for coffee, milk, ‘I love you’ marked its end.
They surround us, for you were here all our lives.

Time, a nurse so willingly laboring on,
To heal our wounds, our scars, with care.
Silence holds but gladness, sharing memories so dear.
For you are with me, here in everything I do.
I run swiftly towards dreams each night,
They bring us together, as if you had not gone.
As daylight breaches the window’s chilly frame,
You’re away once more. Defeated, I awaken.

Love binds the soul to knowing and hurting,
To bereavement and rejoicing in memories’ affection.
Be now in peace’ warm embrace, be now free of pain.
You shall live with me forever, guiding softly my fate.
The sudden heartache of losing a loved one is felt by all of us.
We hold you in our hearts and our prayers through this sorrow.
We hope you know our love for you, and our family.
Together we can mourn, grow, and overcome this pain.
One day, we will all be together, find comfort in knowing they are at peace.
Our sorrows may be great, and our lives forever changed,
This is the time for all of us to join together in our grief.
Sympathies and sorrows shall transform into stories.
Of how loved, of how wonderful, of how we miss our departed loved one.
Time shall heal our wounds, and we will one day see them again.
Home is where we laughed, sang, and were altogether.
Now that you are gone, our home will never be the same.
Missing pieces of something more than we can ever understand.
Every holiday and birthday silently wishing for your laughter.
Watch over us all, in our grief, in our times of burden,
For we shall remember you always, in all that we do.
My hand reaches silently out to you,
In waking and in dreams.
Though I feel you with me,
Always leading me on,
Love so strong it never wonders,
Far from the places you were.
Without you I am wasted,
On people and places that never knew you.
Rest now, I’ll awaken you in visions,
Forever together, sweet remembrance.
Edges fading and weathered,
Holding warmth in moments past.
This tiny printed paper
Locks away our joyful smiles,
Steals from time our youthfulness,
Offers now a glimpse into
A world where you and I, friend,
Are together, forever.
Love, if nothing else, lives on.
The elation of the laughter you spun,
With wit and words soaring wingless in day,
With song tenderly dancing in our hearts.
Ever wanting to hold you in my arms,
Morning now, breaking dreams of you and I,
Holds no bitterness, no sorrow, no fear,
For we shall be merry again. One day.
As aging time fades,
As rivers thunder,
As stones chase eternity,
You stay. You stay here, with me.

When mountains collapse,
When storms are raging,
When the sky falls dark and grey,
You stay. You stay here, with me.
Perfect moments,
So precious now,
Flying fiercely
In hearts, so worn,
So lost, so loved.
Remain in life,
Ever watching,
Ever shielding,
Ever with me.
Adorned with harrowing grief,
Words fail capturing your light.
To know a soul, so brilliant,
A vivid, dazzling creature,
Always piercing through the night.
To know a heart, so cheerful,
An unimaginable hope.
To know you as you loved us,
Is to know no truer friend.
We are one, you and I.
Through sorrow, through pain,
Through happiness and bliss.
Laughter, tears, heartache.
Friendship for a lifetime.
Yet you left this world,
Without me by your side.
Dearest love, dearest friend,
Two nearer never known.
Missing star, shown so bright,
Night dims and sleeps till morn’,
When two hearts once more meet.
A heavy dew sets on framed remembrance
To be cherished, to be mourned, to be free.
The portrait plays a melody so sweet,
Of missing gone astray, of tender bliss,
Gone now home in swift forgiving pace.
Tread soft on hearts and memories treasured,
For forever in my mind you shall be.
Keeping softly, friend, my love
For you in gentle bindings,
Often cared for, often felt.
Where missing meets a heartache,
Where fondness finds a favor,
In memories built to hold
Through hardship’s daunting defense.
The battle rages daily
For want to cry your name ‘loud.
Yet you, in gentle bindings,
Hold me ever more to peace.
Live in air and breathing,
Live in want and needing.
Live in hope eternal,
Live in autumn and in spring.
Live through laughter’s embrace,
Live through darkness’ cold stay.
Live through warm gladness’ joy,
Live through grace, and love, and me.
Make haste, my love, to Peter’s shining gate.
Where angels wait your song so warm and dear.
Mercy on those who live without you now,
Sorrow fades within Holy Spirit’s grace.
As ages form to eras God stays true,
Your soul is pure and rich in His glory.
Be steadfast in God’s gladness, for you are home.
The time has come for God to call your loved one home.
Holy is His name, He shall guard and keep them in His embrace.
Take comfort in knowing we have nothing but love,
Condolences, and our ever-open arms for you in this hard time.
God’s love conquers all things. God’s grace will guide you.
Allah, bless this family, and take in your Grace our departed brethren.
Our love is with you as you mourn, for to Allah we must all return.
For our time on Earth is to serve Him, and our time in Heaven is to rejoice in Him.
We offer you our prayers, our hearts, and our sympathies.
Allah guide you and keep you safe from harm.
Heaven’s hallowed halls rejoice as your loved one came home.
God has taken him to be in all the choirs of Angels.
Though you are sorrowful, exult in the Lord’s love.
We are here for you, in your hour of need,
Our sympathy, our love, and our prayers are all for you.
For now, we mourn the loss of a truly blessed soul.
Their life was lived in honor of the Lord, our Heavenly Father.
God has chosen for them to sing His praises,
Along with Abraham, Moses, and His angels.
We are sorry for your loss, and we hope you know
The love, respect, and sympathies we hold for you.
As children of Allah, our hearts and sympathies are with you now.
Though these may be dark days, find comfort in our prayers and love.
We shall all be face to face with the Lord, at the end of our time on Earth.
Allah bring you peace, and give you strength.
I yearn for days of laugher,
Where your love overflowed
Mornings, nights, and days.
You are missed dearly.
Yet I cannot be sad,
For God has delivered
You to his Kingdom.
The Lord will guard you,
Till we meet again,
My dearest love.
Our Father in Heaven, with all of His glory,
Has taken our family member home to be with Him.
In our hour of sadness, the grief can be overwhelming.
Find solace in our sympathies and prayers.
Find love in our arms and our home.
For He shall protect our loved one,
Shining His light in our hearts.
My condolences for your loss, and for your family.
We never know what God’s plan is. For all of us.
In this time of sadness, know that you are loved.
For God is great, and His mercy upon you all.
As Seraphim’s and Cherubim’s revel in their song,
So too does your beloved walk joyfully with Christ.
Lament this passing, mourn your loss, yet soon
Be mindful that they are with God, in His holy presence.
Our hearts are with you and your family in this dark hour.
Our prayers lift your spirits towards the Lord.
Ever wishing you were still here,
The hope you gave, freely from your heart,
Will be missed in all our lives.
You were a beacon of inspiration,
Your memory never fading through time.
How sorrow embraces the world at the loss of your shimmering fire,
That shown brilliantly in the darkest corners of our hearts.
You gave your all in the hopes of a better world for everyone.
We will miss you now, we will miss you always.
Your gifts have brought more than merriment to the world.
You have shown us a way of life, you have given us a dazzling future.
Thank you for sharing your talents and gifts with those who needed them most.
You have been an extraordinary example for those seeking to better their lives.
I’ve known your glaring hope all of my life, yet I’ve never met you.
You’ve touched my heart with a talent immeasurable, yet you’ve never known.
Your virtuosity, kindness, and inspiration have changed the lives of millions.
Yet you were never aware of how loved and admired you were by me.
Rest in peace, your memory will live on forever through your incredible works.
Leave the light on,
Shining through our lives,
Guiding us to new horizons.
Leave your light on,
Bringing courage and dreams,
On bended beams of inspiration.
Leave the light on,
Though you’ve gone away,
You give us hope renewed.
Leave your light on,
We’ll miss you now,
We’ll remember you always.
Gather fully our love, take it with you as you go.
Radiance and grace to be your gilded wings,
To guide you from those who adore you.
Your time on Earth brought hope and cheer,
Our hearts mourn the loss, in this dark hour.
Your life and your talents shall live on,
In our minds, in our hearts, for eternity.
A merry voice,
Stirring faith in souls,
Ever dancing.
A desired hope,
Rousing charity’s
Forgiving love.
A life too soon,
Taken from this Earth,
Heavy hearts mourn.
A gift so pure,
Shinning brightly on,
Through time, through us.
Flairs burning sharply in the night sky,
Hold no memory of your gifts to the world,
Hold not comparison to your beam of optimism.
Though we mourn your passing, we are grateful.
You shared with us a joy so wholesome and clear.
Thank you for hope, for delight, for your talents.
Rest in peace, for we shall miss you dearly.
You have always been a source of empowerment in my life.
Thank you for sharing all that you had with the world.
As time passes, we will always hold you in our hearts.
The memories you have given me, and the pleasure you have bestowed,
Will always be dear to me, and the millions you touched with your gift.
Rest now, your spirit lives on in your music, and your fans.
What you have given, to the world and to me,
Will be remembered with great solemnity and joy.
Those you have touched, those who are filled with sorrow,
Hold the deepest sympathies for your family.
We are grateful that you shared so much of yourself,
That you gave so much to make the world better.

1. SEARCHING

You can find friends and family easily by searching for their first and last name and location (city, state, and/or country). You can also provide more information and narrow your search results by conducting an advanced search. Partial searches must be a minimum of two characters.
   
 
   
2. ACCOUNT CREATION
 
To create an account simply fill out the 'Sign Up' form on the MyEbit front page. All fields are required and the following restrictions apply:
  • Username must be at least 6 characters.
  • Password must be at least 8 characters.
  • You must be 13 years of age or older to register.

Upon successfully completing the 'Sign Up' form you will receive a confirmation e-mail that contains a link to activate your account. Once you have followed this link your account will be active and you may now login.
   
 
   
3. ACCOUNT SETTINGS
 
The account settings page allows you to make changes to your account information, adjust which email notifications you receive, change your password, purchase credits, and more.
   
 
   
4. CARETAKERS
 
Caretakers are very important members of the MyEbit community and much of what we stand for rests in their hands. They are responsible for maintaining the content and integrity of an individual's ebit when they have passed away.

There are a couple of ways to become a caretaker of an ebit:

Assigned Caretakers. The owner of the ebit can add a caretaker while in 'Edit Mode' by adding an email address the 'Caretaker' section. If the email provided is currently linked to a MyEbit account, that user will automatically become a caretaker. If there is no MyEbit account registered with that email address, one will need to be created for that caretaker to become active.

Caretaker Code. A caretaker code is a 16-character code issued to an ebit when it's created. This code can be used to gain immediate access to an ebit upon requesting caretaker access. The code is visible on your MyEbit caretaker card, which is a wallet-sized card that can be printed and carried with you.
   
 
   
5. EDITING YOUR EBITUARY
 
You can make changes to your ebit by selecting the 'Edit' button while viewing your ebit. While in 'Edit Mode' you can edit a variety of things:
  • Update your scene by managing your landscape, decorations, and tributes.
  • Information about your life, family, friends, services, and memorials.
  • Update your Bucket List to keep others up to date on your life's accomplishments.
  • Write your 'Last words' that will only be visible to others after your passing.
   
 
   
6. LANDSCAPES
 
A scene consists of a background image (the landscape) and a collection of objects that can be placed on that image. Objects are your headstone, friends' headstones, decorations, and tributes. You may change a landscape by clicking the 'Landscape' button while in 'Edit Mode'.

In addition to the landscapes provided by MyEbit, you may upload your own image to serve as the background to your scene. You may do this by clicking the 'Landscape' icon while in 'Edit Mode' and then choosing the 'Upload Your Own' button. You will then be prompted to choose a file and crop it to fit the 1000x400 landscape requirement.
   
 
   
7. HEADSTONES
 
The headstone for an ebit will contain the name, date of birth, date of death (or 'Present' if there is no date of death), and the words you choose for 'Words on Headstone'. The headstone position, image, and visibility can be changed by clicking on the 'Headstone' button while in 'Edit Mode'.

An alternative to a headstone is an urn, which works the same way, except the engraving is at the base of the urn or underneath it. If you want an urn without an engraving, simply hide your 'headstone' and add an urn as a decoration.
   
 
   
8. DECORATIONS
 
Decorations can be added to an ebit landscape to create a unique scene for every user. We offer a large variety of decorations that can be adjusted in many ways to suit your personal tastes.

While in 'Edit Mode' press the 'Decorations' button and then select either the 'Add a Decoration' or 'Add a Friend's Headstone' link. The steps for placing a decoration are then presented and are as follows:

1. Select a decoration from the dropdown list.
2. Click the scene above to place the decoration and move it to the desired position.
3. Make any of the following adjustments to the decoration as desired:
  • Flip the decoration horizontally.
  • Decrease the size of the decoration.
  • Increase the size of the decoration.
  • Move the decoration backwards to position it behind other items. This may require multiple clicks.
  • Move the decoration forwards to position it in front of other items. This may require multiple clicks.

Once you have finalized your changes and are ready to place the decoration press the 'Post' button to confirm. Your decoration has now been posted!
   
 
   
9. TRIBUTES
 
You may place a tribute when viewing an ebit by selecting the 'Leave a tribute' tab above the scene. The steps for placing a tribute are then presented beneath the scene and are as follows:

1. Select a tribute from the dropdown list.
2. Click the scene above to place the tribute and move it to the desired position.
3. Leave a few words that will be attached to the tribute.
4. Make any of the following adjustments to the tribute as desired:
  • Flip the tribute horizontally.
  • Decrease the size of the tribute.
  • Increase the size of the tribute.
  • Move the tribute backwards to position it behind other items. This may require multiple clicks.
  • Move the tribute forwards to position it in front of other items. This may require multiple clicks.

Once you have finalized your changes and are ready to place the tribute press the 'Post' button to confirm. Your tribute has now been posted!
   
 
   
10. PHOTOS
 
The photos page allows you to upload and manage your photos. You may manage the photos using the icons located at the bottom of each individual photo. The icons allow you to set a default, add a caption, and delete a photo.

You may visit a friend's photo page and upload a 'Shared' photo that will be visible to all who view their photo page.
   
 
   
11. FRIENDS LIST
 
The friends list dropdown is opened by clicking the 'Friends' link that is located in the MyEbit bar at the top of the page. The friends list will allow you to view all of your friends, navigate to their ebit, or open a chat session with them if they are currently online.
   
 
   
12. GUESTBOOK
 
You may sign the guestbook of an ebit by scrolling to the guestbook section located below the ebit scene. Simply enter your message and select the 'Sign' button to add your entry. You may delete your entry by selecting the 'Delete' link located at the end of your entry.
   
 
 
13. CHATTING
 
While viewing the friends dropdown list you may open a chat with a friend by selecting 'Chat' next to their name. This option is only available to friends who are currently online. Once selected, a chat box will be opened at the bottom of your browser that can be used to communicate with your friend. The chat box has the following features:
  • Chat may be minimized and maximized by selecting the '-' link at the top of the chat box.
  • Chat can be closed by selecting the 'X' link at the top of the chat box.
  • The chat window will flash when you have received a new message.
  • You may visit your friend's ebit by selecting their username at the top of the chat box.
   
 
   
14. PURCHASING CREDITS
 
Credits are used to purchase premium landscapes, headstones, decorations, and tributes to place on other users' scenes as a present or memorial of that person. You may purchase more credits by navigating to the Account page located in the MyEbit header, selecting the amount of credits you'd like to purchase and clicking 'Add to Cart'. When finished, continue to checkout via PayPal™. When your order is complete, the credits will be applied to your account immediately.
   
 
   
15. MARKED AS DECEASED
 
If a someone you know passes away, you may verify their passing by providing a birth certificate, death certificate, or documentation suitable under local laws showing you to be a relative of the deceased or a representative of their estate. Verifying an ebit helps in keeping the integrity of MyEbit.

You may verify a person as deceased by viewing their ebit and selecting the 'Unverified' link located at the top right corner of their information box..

Once submitted, your request shall be reviewed and approved or denied by MyEbit personnel. You will receive notification via email within 48 hours.
