add_photos
ChatGPTUse this when the user shares photos of the person for a Lovekept memorial they own or help manage. Adds the photos attached to the current ChatGPT message to the memorial's photo gallery. The memorial is already saved: its memorial_id comes from create_memorial or list_my_memorials. Takes up to 10 photos per request in JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, or AVIF; iPhone HEIC photos are accepted once converted to JPEG. Photos are resized and their location data is removed. When the memorial has fewer than 5 featured photos, the new ones fill the open spots. Captions, when given, match the photos in order. Files are readable only from the message the tool runs in; a photo from an earlier message is refused. The result lists each photo as added or refused, with the reason. Do not use for a memorial that is not saved yet; preview_memorial shows photos on a preview.
add_service
ChatGPTUse this when the user shares service details for a saved Lovekept memorial they manage. Adds a service or gathering to the memorial: a viewing or visitation, funeral, funeral Mass, memorial service, celebration of life, burial, shiva or reception, with its date (or none yet: the page then says the date will be announced), time, place, an optional link to watch online, and who guests can contact. Each request adds one service. The service type comes from the family when the name leaves it unclear. Guests reply and sign up for updates on the service's own page. Do not use to change a service that is already on the memorial (update_service and cancel_service do that), or for a memorial that has not been saved yet; preview_memorial takes services directly.
cancel_service
ChatGPTUse this when the user says a service on a Lovekept memorial they manage is cancelled, or postponed with no new date yet (postpone: true). The service page stays up with a cancelled or postponed notice so nobody travels to it, and Lovekept emails everyone who replied or signed up for updates right away, with the family's optional note. The service_id comes from get_memorial_activity, or from add_service for a service just added. Do not use when the service only moves to a new date, time or place (update_service), or to remove a service nobody has replied to (that is done on lovekept.co).
create_fundraiser
ChatGPTCalled only by the Lovekept fundraiser card when the user presses its agree button. Starts the fundraiser shown in the card: it creates a live fundraiser on the memorial that can take donations right away, records the user's agreement to the Fundraising Terms version the card showed, and sets the memorial's in lieu of flowers request to donate when it had none. Payouts wait until the organizer finishes payout setup on Lovekept.
create_memorial
ChatGPTUse this when the family wants to keep the memorial, usually one they previewed with preview_memorial. Saves it to the family's Lovekept account as a private draft that only they can see; making it public is a separate step, publish_memorial. Takes the same details as the preview plus an idempotency_key, a random id made once for this memorial: a retry with the same key returns the memorial the first request saved. When the account already has a memorial for someone with the same name and dates, the result shows that memorial instead of saving a second one, unless confirm_new is true. Photos and services are attached to the saved memorial afterwards by memorial_id, with add_photos and add_service. Do not use for a preview; preview_memorial shows how the memorial would look without saving it.
estimate_cremation_cost
ChatGPTUse this when someone asks what a cremation or any part of one costs in the US, for example how much a direct cremation is, the average price of cremation, whether cremation is expensive, how much to budget or expect to pay, or what an urn, a niche, or a memorial service after cremation costs. Estimates the cost in a US state or ZIP code with Lovekept's cremation cost estimator: direct cremation, cremation with a memorial service, or a funeral with viewing followed by cremation. Shows a card with the total, the typical range, each item, the state's typical prices computed from the General Price Lists its funeral homes publish where Lovekept has them, the state's cremation rules and fees, and the sources. For a funeral with burial use estimate_funeral_cost; to list funeral homes or crematories, use find_funeral_homes. It needs the state. Read-only, and needs no account. The result is an estimate, not a quote: current prices come from the funeral home. Do not use when a death or a cremation is only mentioned with no question about cost, for prices unrelated to a death, or for pet cremation.
estimate_funeral_cost
ChatGPTUse this when someone asks what a funeral or burial, or any part of one, costs in the US, for example the average cost of a funeral, whether funerals are expensive, how much to budget or expect to pay, or what a casket, a cemetery plot, a headstone or grave marker, embalming, a viewing, or a graveside service costs. Estimates the cost in a US state or ZIP code with Lovekept's funeral cost estimator: a traditional funeral with burial, a graveside service, immediate burial, or a veteran burial in a national cemetery, cemetery costs included. Shows a card with the total, the typical range, each item, the state's typical prices computed from the General Price Lists its funeral homes publish where Lovekept has them, state notes on fees and help, and the sources. For cremation use estimate_cremation_cost; to list funeral homes, use find_funeral_homes. It needs the state. Read-only, and needs no account. The result is an estimate, not a quote: current prices come from the funeral home. Do not use when a death or a funeral is only mentioned with no question about cost, for prices unrelated to a death, or for a pet's burial.
find_funeral_assistance
ChatGPTUse this when someone in the US asks about paying for, affording, or getting help, money, benefits, programs, aid, grants, or reimbursement for a funeral, burial, or cremation, for example what programs are available, they can't afford a funeral, who pays when there is no money, burial assistance, death benefits, or whether Social Security, the VA, FEMA, Medicaid, or the county helps. Finds the programs that apply given the state and the family's situation with Lovekept's funeral assistance finder: Social Security's lump-sum death payment and survivors benefits, VA burial benefits and national cemetery burial for veterans, FEMA funeral assistance after a declared disaster, the state's crime victim compensation and public burial assistance, workers' compensation, employer, union, and insurance benefits, and searches for forgotten policies and accounts. Shows a card with each program's amount, why it applies, how to claim, forms, deadlines, and official links. Only the state is required; anything else the user has shared sharpens the results. Program amounts and rules change, and each program confirms its own amounts. Read-only, and needs no account. To raise money from friends and family, use prepare_fundraiser; for what a funeral costs, use estimate_funeral_cost or estimate_cremation_cost. Do not use for grief counseling, settling an estate or the person's debts, or money questions unrelated to a death.
find_funeral_homes
ChatGPTUse this when someone wants to find, list, compare, or contact funeral homes, mortuaries, crematories, or cremation or burial providers anywhere in the US, for example funeral homes near a ZIP code or city, cremation providers near me, a crematory near the hospital in a town, who offers direct cremation near a place, who to contact to arrange a funeral or cremation there, or what funeral homes there typically charge. A request near me uses the ZIP code or city the user has given; with neither, it uses the user's approximate location from ChatGPT and says which place it used. Lists funeral homes from Lovekept's funeral home directory, nearest first, with address, phone, and website, plus typical prices for the area computed from the General Price Lists funeral homes publish (the median and the range most charge, with how many homes they come from, or the state's figure when too few nearby homes have prices). The directory records homes, not the services each one offers: with a service, such as direct cremation, it lists the nearby homes with the area's typical prices for that service. Prices are area figures, not any one home's price, and homes are listed by distance alone, with no ranking. Prices come from published lists that may have changed and are not quotes; current prices come from the funeral home. Read-only, and needs no account. For a total cost or a budget, use estimate_funeral_cost or estimate_cremation_cost. Do not use for pet cremation or burial, or to book, schedule, or pay a funeral home; it lists homes for the family to contact.
get_memorial_activity
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks how a Lovekept memorial they manage is doing, who has left messages or donated, how much a fundraiser has raised, who is coming to a service, or wants help writing thank-you notes. Shows what is happening on the memorial: visits, guestbook messages with the latest few, RSVPs for each service, fundraiser totals and donor count, and trees planted in their memory. Do not use to change anything on the memorial.
get_share_message
ChatGPTUse this when the user asks for a message, text, post, or email to tell people about a Lovekept memorial they manage, or asks for the memorial's link. Gets the memorial's correct link with ready-to-send messages for Facebook, WhatsApp, a text message, and email, and says where to print cards with a QR code. The link it returns is the memorial's real address, and the messages can be reworded in the user's voice. Do not use for a death announcement that is not about a Lovekept memorial.
invite_family
ChatGPTUse this when the user wants a family member or friend to help edit a Lovekept memorial, for example to invite a sister to add photos or add a brother as a co-editor. Emails an invitation to help edit the memorial, so family members can add photos, services, and updates. A memorial can have up to 5 people including the owner and pending invitations. Invitations go to the exact addresses given and cannot be unsent. The owner or an admin of the memorial can invite; an editor cannot. Do not use just to share the memorial with someone; get_share_message gives the link and a message to send.
list_my_memorials
ChatGPTUse this when the user refers to one of their memorials by name or relationship (for example "my mom's memorial"), to find the memorial_id another Lovekept tool needs, or when they want to know which memorials they have. Lists the Lovekept memorials the signed-in user owns or helps manage as a family collaborator, newest first, with each memorial's id, name, dates, status, link, and whether it has a fundraiser. Several memorials can match one description; the user knows which one they mean. Do not use to look up obituaries or memorials that belong to other people.
prepare_fundraiser
ChatGPTUse this when the family wants to raise money or collect donations for funeral costs, the family, or a cause in memory of someone who died, on one of the user's Lovekept memorials. The memorial_id comes from list_my_memorials; a person with no memorial yet starts with preview_memorial. Shows a fundraiser draft in a card with the Fundraising Terms. The user's press of the card's agree button is what starts the fundraiser. The draft is built from what is already known, with no questions needed first: a title and short story drafted from the memorial and the user's words, the goal they gave if any, and the purpose they stated (family when they named none). The family reviews the draft in the card; a revised draft is a new prepare_fundraiser request with the new wording. Fundraisers are for organizers who live in the US. country carries where the user said they live, when they said it, and the card has the organizer confirm they live in the US. Donations are made on the memorial page on lovekept.co, not in ChatGPT. Programs and benefits that help pay for a funeral, such as Social Security or the VA, are covered by find_funeral_assistance. Do not use to donate, pay, or move money.
preview_memorial
ChatGPTUse this when the family wants to create an obituary online, post or share an obituary, or make a memorial page or obituary website, including when they paste an obituary they already have (often from the funeral home). Shows a preview card of an online memorial page on Lovekept from what the family has shared: name, dates, place, a short headline, the obituary, any services, and photos. It is the first step toward a memorial: the family sees the page before anything is saved. It needs the person's first and last name and an obituary of 250 characters or more. Photos attached to the current message appear on the preview (up to 6) and are not stored; photos from an earlier message are not readable. Saved memorials get their photos through add_photos. Works without an account and keeps nothing. When something is missing or too short, the result names it. Do not use when the user only wants obituary text and has not asked for a page. Do not use it to edit a memorial that already exists.
publish_memorial
ChatGPTUse this when the family has seen their saved Lovekept memorial and asked for it to be public. Publishes the page so anyone with the link can view it and search engines may list it, returns the public link, and Lovekept emails the signed-in user that it is live. Needs the memorial_id (from create_memorial or list_my_memorials) and confirmed, which records that the family asked for publication; with confirmed false the memorial stays private. A published page is managed on lovekept.co. Do not use to save a memorial (create_memorial) or to get the link of one that is already public (get_share_message).
show_sympathy_flowers
ChatGPTUse this when the user wants to send flowers or a plant to a funeral, memorial service, visitation, or a grieving family's home in the US, or to someone who lost a loved one, even if no Lovekept memorial exists. Shows sympathy flower arrangements with photos, prices, and delivery dates. Delivery is within the US only. For flowers that honor a published Lovekept memorial the user manages or names, its memorial_id (from list_my_memorials) or slug lets the card prefill the funeral home, address, and service and suggest the right delivery day. Flowers for a funeral or service arrive on or before the service day. With no memorial service and no date from the user, no day is chosen yet. Optional: zip, date, max_price, delivery_to, category. The card lists every category and the user can switch between them there. Do not use for flowers unrelated to a death.
start_flower_order
ChatGPTUse this after show_sympathy_flowers, once the user has picked an arrangement and a delivery date and given the US delivery address. For flowers that honor a Lovekept memorial, its memorial_id or slug lets the date be checked against the service: flowers for a funeral or service arrive on or before its day. Gets the chosen sympathy arrangement ready to pay for on lovekept.co: shows a card with the arrangement, delivery date, recipient, address, and card message, and a "Continue to Lovekept checkout" button. The recipient is who receives the flowers ("The family of <name>" for a service), not the sender; the sender signs the card message, which is 200 characters at most. The order is placed and paid on lovekept.co, after the user continues from the card. The checkout link is only in the card. Do not use before the user has chosen an arrangement from show_sympathy_flowers.
update_memorial
ChatGPTUse this when the family asks to fix or change something on a Lovekept memorial they already saved. Changes the words on the memorial: the name, dates, place, headline, obituary, or how they would like people to honor them instead of flowers. Takes only the fields that change; the new text replaces the old. On a public memorial the change shows on the live page, and a name change gives it a new link (the old link keeps working). Photos are added with add_photos, and services are handled by add_service, update_service and cancel_service. Do not use for a preview that has not been saved; a new preview_memorial with the changes covers that.
update_service
ChatGPTUse this when the user wants to change a service that is already on a Lovekept memorial they manage: its name, date, time, place, watch link, contact, or what guests should know, or to set the date of a service whose date was to be announced. Takes only what changes. A change to the date, time or place emails everyone who replied or signed up for updates with the old and new details: notify now sends it at once, and in_10_minutes holds it for 10 minutes so a second correction can go in first. The service_id comes from get_memorial_activity, or from add_service for a service just added. Do not use to add a new service (add_service), or to cancel or postpone one (cancel_service).
