About us

WhoWasThisGuy helps families create a lasting place online for the people they have lost — a page that tells who they were, in the words of those who loved them.

Why we built this

Families today live across cities and countries. When someone dies, the memories scatter too — into group chats, photo albums and a few printed notices. We wanted one calm, lasting page that everyone can find, add to and read in their own language.

Why we charge once

A memorial should not come with a renewal reminder. Your one-time payment helps pay for hosting and backups, and it means we don’t need ads or to sell anyone’s data to keep going.

What we promise

No ads on memorial pages.
We never sell personal data.
You decide who sees the page, and you can download or delete it at any time.
If we ever had to close: at least 12 months’ notice and a full copy of your page as a ZIP file.
A real person answers every email.

How we use AI

Our writing assistant and our translations use AI services. The assistant only drafts text from what you tell it, and nothing it writes is published until you approve it. Automatic translations are labelled as such. The providers are listed in our Privacy policy.

Who we are

WhoWasThisGuy is a small independent service run by Pavel Valynets PR Beograd, a sole trader (preduzetnik) registered in Belgrade, Serbia. Full details are in our Legal notice.

Memorial pages are opening soon.
