How To Develop A Meaningful Virtual Memorial Website

By Walter Stone


Death leaves family and friends with a heavy burden to deal with. Unfortunately, those friends and relatives are usually spread across the world and bringing them together becomes a huge challenge. One of the most innovative ways to do that is setting up a virtual memorial website. How do you set up a meaningful, respectful and captivating site to remember the departed?

Use a pre-existing platform to set up your memorial page. These websites are developed specifically for the purpose. You log in and create a page or profile for the people you wish to remember. There is a button to share or invite friends to the platform. The page is customized using unique images, text and colors, among other elements. This is a quick and hustle free approach that does not require advanced IT skills or enormous resources.

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.

Create a blog on platforms with templates and use it for memorial purposes. The blog platform already exists and offers the option of pick and drop to add the features you desire. It does not come with the burden of maintenance. Blogs today have more options for customizing. This means that you have all the features you would desire to have a customized page.

Social media is a perfect choice when you want to remember the departed in a special way. Social media platforms have gathered a lot of people and are easy to engage. They have features that allow sharing of information and media formats like images and videos with ease. You only need add-ons for the special feature you would like to include.

What features do you desire to appear on your page? These features are informed by your memorial plans. Some people want to share stories while others wish to upload photos. An option for videos is also provided. These features can easily be found on preexisting sites. However, they are limited and might require the development of an organize site to include all the features. Buy add-ons like cloud funding and fundraisers if you need them.

People invited to the site must have a chance to engage. The site is used by family and friends to pass condolence and messages of goodwill. Through this engagement and sharing, you learn more about the departed. People who do not have a chance to pay tribute during the burial will also use the opportunity to share here.

How long do you wish to have this page running? Though the internet never forgets, access to the page can be timed. It will be brought down once the mourning period is over. If you are looking for a timeless platform, you will give generations the opportunity mourn and share these memories.

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.
