For partners & supporters

Help us bring this to more families

Alas Artistry is building a new way to remember — handcrafted butterfly tributes paired with an augmented-reality experience that lets a loved one's photos, videos, and voice live on. Bringing that to families at scale takes artists, care, and time. If our mission resonates with you, there are meaningful ways to be part of it.

An invitation, not an ask

We're growing deliberately. Every tribute is handcrafted to order, which means our capacity is real and finite — and that's by design. We would rather serve each family fully than scale past our ability to care.

Partners help us do that well: expand our artist team, refine the experience, and reach families who need a more meaningful way to grieve. Your support doesn't just fund a product — it helps make thoughtful remembrance available to more people, made with the same care every family deserves.

There's no pressure and no deadline here. If this is something you'd like to be part of, we'd be honored to talk.
