The essentials
What is a virtual memorial?
A virtual memorial is a dedicated online place created to celebrate, commemorate and preserve the life of someone who has died. It can hold far more than a name and photograph: it becomes a shared record of their character, relationships and the moments people remember.
Unlike a single social-media post, a virtual memorial is organised around the person. Family, friends and colleagues can return to read their story, explore photographs and videos, leave condolences and add memories over time.
The memorial custodian remains in control. You decide whether it is public or private, who can contribute, and which guest submissions are published.
Shape the whole story
What can you include in a virtual memorial?
Begin simply, then build a richer tribute whenever you and the people closest to you feel ready.

A book of condolence
Give people a thoughtful place to leave sympathy, support and personal messages.
Stories from others
Invite the people who knew them to contribute perspectives no single person could hold alone.
Causes and gatherings
Connect charity links, remembrance events and other meaningful ways to honour their life.
