Danish startup Memora raised €1.7 million, or DKK 13 million, for its cemetery management platform. The funding round was led by venture capital firm True Collective. Chris Evans, currently CTO at Kahoot!, will join Memora as CTO in early 2027.
From direct care to software
Memora launched in 2022 by selling grave maintenance directly to families. Its own gardeners traveled between cemeteries and documented work through an app. The company later shifted to selling the platform to cemeteries themselves.
What the platform does
Cemetery managers can plan and assign tasks through the system. Gardeners record completed work on their phones. Families receive photos and updates and can share memories of loved ones.
AI and geospatial tools
Memora already uses AI to turn gardener activity into family updates. The company also applies geospatial tools to an industry still reliant on manual processes. Chris Evans sees the work as rethinking operations, not simply replacing paper with software.
Memora plans to expand its platform across Europe. The company says millions of grave plots there still rely on manual or fragmented systems. It already supports close to 100,000 grave plots.
