A Lasting Place for Their Memories
When someone important dies, their life cannot be contained in a single photograph, funeral notice or social media post. Their story lives in countless moments: the things they said, the places they loved, the people they helped and the memories that still make you smile.
An online memorial for a loved one gives those memories a permanent home. It creates a dedicated place where their family and friends can come together, tell their stories and preserve a fuller picture of the person they knew.
You can begin simply with their name, photograph and a few words. Over time, the memorial can grow as people contribute messages, photographs, videos and stories. There is no pressure to complete everything at once. Remembering a life is not a task to finish; it is something that continues.
What Can You Include in a Memorial?
Every life is different. Your memorial can be shaped around the memories and details that best represent the person you are remembering.
01
Their life story
Tell the story of their life in your own words, from childhood and family life to careers, passions, achievements and the moments that mattered most.
02
Photographs and videos
Collect treasured photographs and videos in one place, including memories that might otherwise remain scattered across phones, albums and family collections.
03
Personal tributes
Invite people to leave messages, share memories and describe what your loved one meant to them. Each contribution adds another part of their story.
04
Important milestones
Record meaningful dates and events, including births, marriages, friendships, journeys, qualifications, career achievements and family milestones.
05
Funeral information
Where appropriate, use the memorial to share funeral or celebration-of-life details with the people who may wish to attend or pay their respects.
06
Memorial donations
Give people a meaningful way to support a charity, cause or organisation that mattered to your loved one, where this option is available.

A person is remembered through more than dates.
They are remembered through the stories people retell, the photographs they treasure and the difference that person made to the lives around them.
Why Create an Online Memorial for a Loved One?
Traditional forms of remembrance remain deeply important, but they are often tied to one location or moment in time. An online memorial can be visited and shared by people wherever they live.
- Bring everyone together: relatives, friends and colleagues can contribute, even when they live far apart.
- Preserve more of their story: collect memories that might otherwise be forgotten or lost.
- Create something personal: focus on their character, relationships, passions and experiences.
- Remember beyond the funeral: continue adding memories on birthdays, anniversaries and other meaningful dates.
- Share in a thoughtful way: give people one dedicated place to learn about their life and pay tribute.
How to Create a Memorial for a Loved One
You do not need to have every photograph, date or detail ready before you begin. Start with what feels manageable and build their memorial over time.
Step 1
Create their page
Add their name, a favourite photograph and the essential details you would like people to know.
Step 2
Tell their story
Write a tribute or life story that reflects who they were and what made them special to you.
Step 3
Add meaningful memories
Upload photographs, videos, important milestones and any other details that help celebrate their life.
Step 4
Invite others to remember
Share the memorial privately or more widely and invite others to contribute their own stories and messages.
What Should You Write in a Memorial?
There is no single correct way to write a memorial for someone you love. Some families write a detailed account of the person’s life. Others begin with a short, heartfelt tribute and allow friends and relatives to add more memories over time.
You might include:
- Where they were born and grew up
- The people and relationships most important to them
- Their work, interests and achievements
- Favourite places, music, books or traditions
- Stories that reveal their personality
- Words, sayings or advice people remember
- Acts of kindness and the people they helped
- The legacy they leave behind
A simple memorial opening
We created this memorial to celebrate the life of someone deeply loved and greatly missed. Their kindness, humour and love for their family touched everyone who knew them. We hope this becomes a place where those memories can be shared and preserved for years to come.
Your words do not need to sound formal or perfect. The most meaningful tribute will usually sound like you and reflect the person as they truly were.
A Memorial the Whole Family Can Help Create
No one person holds every memory of a life. A shared memorial brings different parts of that story together.
Family
Children, grandchildren, siblings and extended family can share personal photographs, family traditions and memories from different stages of life.
Friends
Friends may remember adventures, conversations and moments that reveal another side of the person their family knew and loved.
Colleagues and communities
People from workplaces, clubs, schools, charities and local communities can describe the difference your loved one made beyond their immediate family.
Remembering Them After the Funeral
A funeral or celebration of life gives people an important opportunity to gather, but remembrance does not end when the service is over. Grief changes over time, and new memories often surface long after the first weeks and months.
A permanent memorial page gives family and friends somewhere to return on birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and other significant days. New generations can also discover photographs and stories that help them understand who their relative was and why they remain so important.
The memorial can become more than an announcement of a death. It can become an evolving record of a life.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an online memorial for a loved one?
An online memorial is a dedicated digital page created to remember someone who has died. It can bring together their life story, photographs, videos, milestones and messages from the people who knew them. Unlike a single announcement, it can continue to grow as more memories are added. Who can create a memorial page?
A memorial may be created by a family member, friend, colleague or another person who wishes to celebrate the individual’s life. Where possible, it is thoughtful to speak with close family members before publishing personal information or sharing the memorial widely. Do I need to write the whole memorial at once?
No. You can begin with a name, photograph and short tribute, then add more information when you feel ready. Other family members and friends may also be able to help by contributing memories and photographs. What photographs should I include?
Choose photographs that reflect different parts of their life and personality. These might include family occasions, friendships, holidays, hobbies, work, celebrations and quiet everyday moments. A natural photograph that feels like them can often be more meaningful than a formal portrait. Can family and friends add their own tributes?
A shared memorial is most meaningful when people can contribute their own perspectives. Inviting others to add messages, stories and photographs can reveal memories that the memorial creator may never have heard before. Can I create a memorial before the funeral?
Yes. Some families create a memorial soon after the death so they can share an announcement, funeral information or a place for messages. Others prefer to wait until after the funeral. There is no correct timetable; create it when it feels appropriate for you and your family. What is the difference between an obituary and an online memorial?
An obituary usually announces a death and summarises the person’s life. An online memorial can include that information but is designed to remain active, allowing photographs, videos, stories and tributes to be collected and added over time. How do I make a memorial feel personal?
Focus on the details that made the person recognisable: their humour, routines, favourite expressions, passions, relationships and the small things people miss most. Personal memories usually communicate more than a list of formal dates or achievements.
