ETERNAL GARDEN is a metaverse cemetery service designed for family members to commemorate the lives of those who have passed. It is a platform that stores their legacy in a digital garden so that descendants can remember and honor them. As the current metaverse space expands, managing your digital legacy has become even more important. ETERNAL GARDEN provides a platform that allows users to gift or inherit distributed digital heritage such as social media accounts, photos and videos, and music playlists within their 3D garden. In addition, it leaves the 'AI version of me' to be derived based on personalized data of the passed individual so that the AI can communicate and connect with descendants even after death. Furthermore, visitors can enter the family garden and present gifts to their deceased family or friends showing respect towards them. ETERNAL GARDEN is a service that opens a new memorial culture by continuing communication and celebration of lives even after death.
