The Best Online Memorial Website

By Dorothy Hayes


Losing a friend or loved-one is a painful experience. Everyone struggles to keep the memories because of the great impact people have on our lives. Acceptance and healing are made easier by creating an online memorial website. This site allows you to share about the person with friends and family who could be in different cities around the world. It is also a platform to keep the discussion going about the deceased.

Identify a perfect host for your memorial. You have the option of creating an own domain or being hosted by larger public networks. An own domain offers a feeling of personalized space. However, it is expensive since you have to cater for development and maintenance. On the other hand, there are many public platforms where you can create an account and only worry about the information to upload.

Collect materials that capture the memories you wish to preserve. Such materials include details of people who interacted with the deceased, places he or she visited, activities and other materials that represent his or her life. Capture communities or groups where the dead participated. They will be included in the remembrance and provide details that cannot be found anywhere else. However, be selective about the materials you include to avoid being irrelevant.

Biographical data should also be collected for inclusion onto the site. It is this information that defines a person because of its uniqueness. The information includes date of birth, place of birth, parents, other family members and associations that represent him or her. It is the foundation of any remembrance. Such details will show where the person has come from and what has been left behind.

Collect the videos and pictures available for the departed. Photos tell stories in a way words cannot. They capture moments that are impossible to describe. Look for photo albums from childhood to extract as much information as possible. Visitors can also upload photos since you cannot have all the photos. Open these photos to comments and sharing.

A tribute should also be included on the website. You need a knowledgeable person to prepare it. Tributes should capture personal encounters and not a repetition of what most people know. It may also come in the form of a poem, memoirs and quotes that the departed loved. At the end of the main tribute, visitors should be given a chance to also add their tributes. You will be amazed at how unique each person knew and interacted with your departed friend.

Develop a site or platform that is well organized. The best approach is having segments for friends, family, workmates, and any other group that a person was involved with. Other ways of organizing is creating dates. Further, you may allow searches using names of people connected to the deceased. With an organized platform, it will be easier for people to follow.

Websites allow you to connect people around the world and capture their condolences and sympathies. Leave room for their comments and uploading of relevant materials. Feedback from visitors will also make your website easier to run.
