How To Set Up A Meaningful Virtual Memorial Website

By Walter Stone


The demise of a friend or family member weighs heavily on the hearts of those left behind. Bringing people together from all over the world can be a huge challenge. The latest technique is to set up a virtual memorial website that allows people to connect with friends and loved ones from different corners of the world. How do you make it respectful, meaningful and captivating to participants?

Get a page on websites set up specifically for memorial purpose. Such sites come with special features that make remembering the departed easy. The site gives you the chance to create a unique profile, invite friends and engage them. Since it is already set up, cost will not be an issue. You also customize the page by adding personalized images, text and features. This is the simplest platform you can develop.

Hire a developer who will set up a site from scratch. This option allows you to include all the unique features you might desire. It takes time to prepare such a site as you engage the developer. It will also come with the cost of maintenance and hosting.

Use existing blogging platforms and convert the pages into memorial sites. Blogs are preexisting pages but are not yet designed for a specific purpose. It is the themes and templates you choose that determine the level of customization. Choose the add-ons you desire to make your memorial experience better.

Social media is an option when you need to develop a memorial site. A lot of people around the world are on social media. This makes it easy to add them to the page. Sharing, uploading images and commenting on activities on social media are also easy. You have limitless options whenever you are thinking of social media.

Consider the features you would like to include. They will depend on your plan for remembering the departed. You may desire to include photos, allow people to comment and even raise funds. The site must have provisions for these features. Pre-existing websites for memorial purposes have enriched features. If you are developing an own platform, you have to make provision for these features.

Provide an opportunity for people to engage. Engagements provide an opportunity for mourners to pass condolence and grieve with the bereaved family. You will learn some elements of the person in question that you did not know. It is the engagements that keep people coming to the page.

Will you be closing down the page or it will run forever? It is said that the internet never forget but whether people forget or not depends on the capability of your website. Some sites or pages are closed at the end of the mourning period while others remain to preserve the memories for generations.

Retain admin rights and moderate activities or discussions in the group. The platform will also be useful in sharing information about interment. The features and organization of your page must reflect the caliber of departed friends or family. This is the only way to generate an effective impact.
