Questions and answers
Everything you need to know
If you need practical help after a bereavement, our bereavement advice and condolence message guidance may also help.
What is an online condolence book?
An online condolence book is a digital space where relatives, friends and colleagues can leave messages of sympathy, share memories and stories, and contribute photographs in remembrance of someone who has died.
How do I create an online condolence book?
Create a memorial, add the person’s name and a photograph, choose your privacy settings, then share the memorial link. The condolence book is included as part of the memorial.
Can I approve messages before they appear?
Yes. The memorial custodian can review contributions and decide what is published, helping the space remain respectful and appropriate.
Can an online condolence book be private?
Yes. You can choose whether the memorial is public or private. A private memorial can be shared directly with the relatives and friends you invite.
What can people add?
Contributors can share condolence messages and memories. The wider memorial can also bring together stories, photographs, videos and charity links.
How much does it cost?
Every memorial is free for the first six months. Current options after that include monthly, annual and one-time plans, so you can choose how long you want it to remain available.
Can people contribute if they cannot attend the funeral?
Yes. Anyone you share the link with can contribute from their phone, tablet or computer, wherever they are. This helps include people who live abroad, are unwell or cannot attend in person.
How is it different from a paper condolence book?
An online book can be shared beyond a single event, revisited over time, moderated by its custodian and enriched with photographs and longer personal memories.
