Obituary

"Everyone will surely die — no one knows when" — Obituary is the community app built for the uncomfortable truth that someone you know may die far from home, and someone needs to be ready.

App UI Design — Obituary

Mobile App · Community Death Management · Indonesia

A sober, purposeful app UI for Obituary — a community platform designed to manage the situation when a member dies alone or in a place far from their family, ensuring the deceased is handled properly by professionals and that the right people are notified in time.

The app addresses one of the most practically neglected areas of Indonesian community life: what happens when someone dies unexpectedly, away from family, with no one to coordinate the proper handling of their jenazah (body)? Obituary exists to answer that question — through community, preparation, and access to professional funeral services.

Two content cards dominate the home screen: "Kapan, Tak Seorangpun yang Tahu..." (When — no one knows...) — a reflection on mortality's unpredictability — and "Pastikan Jenazah Anda ditangani Ahlinya" (Make sure your body is handled by experts) — a direct, practical call to preparedness. The photographs are unflinching but respectful: a tagged body at the morgue, emergency responders in action.

Three quick-access functions sit below: Riwayat (History), Testimonial, and Pencarian (Search) — confirming a platform with both personal records and community discovery features.

The Berita Terbaru (Latest News) section surfaces relevant news: "Hitungan menit Korban Kecelakaan Teridentifikasi" (Traffic accident victim identified within minutes) — showing the real-world urgency the app addresses.

The dark near-black UI is the only appropriate design choice for this subject matter: respectful, serious, and entirely focused on the gravity of what the platform exists to do.

A design that confronts an uncomfortable reality with the care and directness it deserves.
