What is an online memorial?
Online Memorials are digital spaces of remembrance, celebration and commemoration for the deceased. You can create a collaborative memorial, where friends and family can leave tributes, upload photos, like, share, comment, connect, and remember the life of your loved one. Whether you would like to share these memories with the world, or privately with a few close relatives, our online memorial platform is secure, simple and flexible.
Why should I have an online memorial for a loved one?
We used to commemorate our loved ones by sharing analogue photo books, home videos and memories with each other. Today, almost all of our photos and videos are created and stored digitally, and our family and friends are spread across the country and the world.
Online memorials are the perfect way to store and share memories, while bringing everyone together in a collaborative commemoration. Rather than save the images in a personal cloud storage that only you can see, online memorials let you and your family collect your favorite memories, share stories and give your loved one a dignified legacy for generations to come.
How does this online memorial program work?
- Our staff will send you a special URL to create a memorial page.
- Once you complete the Sign Up form, you will become the Keeper Administrator of the online memorial. You can login via our website to edit or add to the online memorial page at any time.
- Upload photographs, videos, build your family tree, share memories, and create a beautiful life story.
- Share the online memorial via email or social media to invite friends and family members to contribute their most cherished memories.
How can I create a memorial?
Contact our staff to request a special Create Memorial Page URL. Once we send you this link, you'll be asked to input some basic information about your loved one to get their memorial started. You will also have to fill out some information about yourself because you become the Keeper (i.e. the administrator) of their memorial.
What is a Keeper Administrator?
A Keeper is the user that is designated to manage an online memorial. Keeper’s have administrative privileges, meaning they can add, modify or remove any content on their loved one’s online memorial. Our staff will assign you, or an individual of your choosing to become the Keeper of your loved one’s memorial.

Can I write out my loved one’s legacy and create a memorial pre-need?
Yes, we offer our families the ability to create a Living Memorial page. Once you meet with one of our staff members, and we create your account, you will be able to write out a loved one’s biography, create their family tree, and begin uploading treasured photos, videos and memories. Your Living Memorial page will not be published until your loved one has passed away.
How long do memorials stay online?
Unlike newspaper obituaries which may only last a few days, or other websites that charge to keep it online, Our Memorials are designed to last a lifetime. We do not delete any profile (but you can always remove any memorial you create). There are no trial periods or hidden costs to keep the page online.
