How To Create The Best Memorial Websites For Your Loved Ones

By Harriett Crosby


When a loved one dies, it can be quite a blow to close family members and friends. One of the best ways to memorialize the deceased person is by creating an online memorial that can easily be accessed and viewed by various people. There are various sites which you can use to do this. You can easily create some of the best memorial websites, even if you have never done it before, by following a few guidelines.

To create a site, you have to decide whether you want a self-hosted site or you are more comfortable using existing free platforms. The advantage of creating your own website is that you can design it as you want. However, you have to remember to renew the hosting and domain name every year if you want to keep the site running. The advantage of using a free platform is that you will not incur any expenses and it is usually quite easy to set up.

When creating a site, it is important to make it as interactive as possible. This will allow individuals who access the site to post and leave messages of love and the memories they have of the person who died. If you are using a free online platform, make sure to read the terms and conditions of the website.

You then need to decide how much information and what exactly to post to the site. This includes posting photos of the person and other objects that may have been important to them on the site. Well chosen photos that cover the various stages of life of the departed person would be appropriate.

Draft a biography of the individual. Make sure not to provide too much or too little information. You can first start by posting what you are comfortable with, then edit the information later on as you deem appropriate. Try to provide an overview of the person's life in the best way possible.

Make it easy for other people to also pay tribute to the deceased. You can do this by making it easy to share the page or website through social media buttons. You can also make it possible for individuals to upload photos or videos of the person. You can filter any information added on the site before it goes live to avoid embarrassing situations.

Once you are done setting up the website, do not forget to invite other people to view and participate in it. You can send email or text messages to family members and friends of the deceased person. Encourage them to leave comments and tell you if there is anything they may want improved.

When looking for the best memorial websites, it is essential to keep in mind the features that you want to incorporate. It is advisable to keep things as simple as possible so that other users can freely use and interact on the website. Make sure that everything is well laid out and structured well.
