Premium membership
The premium benefits in detail
A memorial on Soulium is free. With the premium membership you tell more than names and dates: with photos and videos, a whole life story and a design that suits the person. Here you can read what each benefit means and how it works.
39,00 € per year
that is 3,25 € a month. No VAT is charged under § 19 UStG (German small business rule).
Coloured candles
A coloured candle is a personal sign: in a favourite colour, for the season or for a special day.
As a premium member you light candles in every colour offered, on every memorial and in the Hall of Lights. The Hall of Lights also has the golden and the silver candle.
The colour stays visible as long as the candle burns, on the stage and in the list of candles. Visitors see at a glance where a special light is shining.
How it works: When you light a candle, choose one of the colours. Without premium you can preview them.
Photo album
up to 50 photos and a YouTube video
A picture often says more than many words. In the photo album up to 50 photos tell of a whole life.
Childhood, wedding, travels, family celebrations: upload photos as JPG, PNG, HEIC or WebP, several at once, and put them in the order that matters to you. Visitors see them as a gallery, open each picture large and browse on.
Add a video from YouTube, such as a favourite song or a recording of the funeral service. To protect visitors it loads only after a click or with their consent.
How it works: In the editor under “Photos & videos” you add photos; for YouTube the link to the video is enough.
Your own videos
up to 3 per memorial, 25 MB each
A voice, a laugh, a familiar gesture: videos keep what a photo cannot show.
Upload up to three videos of your own per memorial, as MP4, MOV or WebM of up to 25 MB. They play right on the memorial, without YouTube and without ads.
Short recordings from a phone, of a birthday or a walk, often become the family’s most precious memories.
How it works: In the editor under “Photos & videos” choose a video from your device.
Life story
The short biography holds a few sentences. A whole life needs the life story.
Write up to 20,000 characters, several pages, about origins and work, passions and the people who mattered. The life story has its own section on the memorial, where visitors read it at leisure.
Many families write it bit by bit: you can add to it at any time, and co-managers write along. Visitors see the new version only once you publish it.
How it works: In the editor under “Life story” start writing.
Own backgrounds and pictures
A photo of a favourite place as the background, a familiar motif as a decoration: this makes the memorial truly personal.
Upload your own photos as the background of the header and the page, and your own pictures as decorations for the stage, such as a coat of arms, a grandchild’s drawing or a picture of a beloved pet.
Your pictures are kept under “My own pictures” in My Account and are ready on every memorial you design. Only you see them in the selection.
How it works: In the editor under “Decoration” or “Background” upload a picture, or in My Account under “My own pictures”.
Password protection
Some memories belong to the closest circle. With a password you decide who sees the memorial.
A protected memorial never shows its name in public: in the search, on cemeteries and in lists it appears without name and picture, and search engines do not find it. Only those who know the password see names, dates and pictures.
You pass on a neutral link that asks for the password; it reveals no name. If you change the password, everyone needs the new one.
How it works: In the memorial’s settings under “Password protection” set a password of at least 6 characters.
Invite co-managers
Remembering is rarely one person’s task. With co-managers several people design a memorial together.
Invite relatives and friends by email. They add photos, write the life story with you and publish changes. Anyone without an account creates one through the link in the invitation.
Settings and deletion stay with you. Co-managers need no premium membership of their own: yours covers the memorial, and they design with every premium option.
How it works: In the memorial’s settings under “Co-managers” enter the email address.
Plenty of storage
500 MB per memorial, 2 GB per account
Memories should last. Premium offers room for photos and videos for many years.
Each memorial has 500 MB, your account 2 GB in all for photos, videos and own pictures. That is enough for a full album, videos and your own design.
Every file is checked for viruses when it is uploaded and prepared for the web. Personal details in photos, such as where they were taken, are removed.
How it works: There is nothing to set up. Should the space ever run out, the editor tells you when you upload.
More room for remembrance
The premium membership covers every memorial you own, new ones included. Everything you have designed so far stays as it is.
39,00 € per year
that is 3,25 € a month. No VAT is charged under § 19 UStG (German small business rule).
- After the first year, cancel with one month's notice
- Then unused full months refunded
- Your design is always kept
Good to know
Renews automatically every year at the same price. If you cancel in the first year, it ends at the end of the first year. After that you can cancel at any time with one month's notice; we refund the full months you then no longer use. About 30 days before each renewal we remind you of the amount and the date by email.
After the end, premium content is hidden but not deleted, and it is back at once after a renewal. Password-protected memorials stay protected; the password can then not be changed.
