Online Memorial Website
- 1What is an Online Memorial Website?
The Memorial Wall is a way of remembering a loved one and inspires others to do the same. The Memorial Wall collates memories of loved ones using words, pictures and photographs online. It is a precious keepsake that reflects a loved one's special life, full of memories, stories and experiences and creates a beautiful lasting record and legacy for your family and future generations. It is your own dedicated website that is unique and yours for as long as you wish.
Features which can be included on the Memorial Wall:-
- Obituary - Write their life story and highlight major events and experiences
- Tributes & Condolences - Friends and family can leave messages, prayers and tributes
- Photo Gallery - Upload and collect captioned photos to share
- Add funeral details - Communicate where and when the funeral will take place together with the Wake
- Upload the Funeral Order of Service - Allow people who couldn't attend the funeral to download the Order of Service
- Link to charity - Add a link to a chosen charity which the deceased supported so that others can contribute
- Share - Tributes and pages on social networks with ease
- 2How can others access the Memorial Website?
Each Memorial Website is assigned a unique internet address which includes the deceased’s name (www.rememberinpeace.com/henry-smith, for example). Once you create a Memorial Website, share the address with family and friends so they can access it directly. Another way to share the website address is to publish and share the comments or page on social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. - 3Who edits and updates the Online Memorial Website?
When you create the Memorial Website you will be asked to create an account with your email address and to choose a password, which gives you exclusive access to administer the website. Once logged into the admin area you can add, change or delete anything that you, or anyone else has uploaded to the Memorial Website. Visitors to the Memorial Website can add tributes but you will have the sole ability to alter or remove anything that is added. - 4Can I preview a tribute before it is added to my Memorial Website?
Once logged in, open up your Memorial Website and you will have the options to select a 'radio button' to either 'Show only approved tributes' (If you select this then all user tributes will be displayed after your approval) or 'Show all tributes' (If you select this then all user tributes will be displayed without your approval) - 5I have forgotten my Memorial Website address - how do I get this?
When you first create your Memorial Website you will be sent an activation email with all the necessary details. If you are unable to find the original email you can login, click on 'My Account' at the top of the page, click on 'My Walls' in the left hand menu and all your memorial URL's will be displayed for you to edit and view. - 6If you have forgotten your username or password
Your username will be your email address that you signed up to the account with. To retrieve a password click on 'Log in' at the top of the home page. If you have an account with that recognised email address you will receive an email notification which will give you the online instructions. - 7How long does it take to create a Memorial Website?
It takes approximately 2-5 minutes to create the basics of the Memorial Website. After that, you can continue to add and edit content at any time. - 8I have not received my Activation email yet. What do I do?
If you have not received your Activation email yet, please check your junk mail and spam folders for the email as your email client may have treated it as spam. If it is nowhere to be found, you can try clicking on 'Login' on the main website, click on 'Forgotten password' and enter your email address. If this still fails please contact us by navigating to our 'Contact us' page and supply us with as much information as possible including your email address, name and telephone number. - 9How do you prevent people leaving offensive tributes?
In order to post a tribute each user has to input the image characters, this prevents most spam offenders. We also give you the option to only show tributes after you have 'approved' them - this is displayed when you are logged in and the Memorial Website is on view. As the site's owner/administrator you have the ability to remove posted tributes altogether. If you find that a member is continually posting offensive tributes you may report them by contacting us about the issue and we will then investigate. We also have a 'report' link on every tribute - this allows other users to 'report' an offensive Tribute. As soon as a Tribute is 'reported' this will not be shown on the website until you allow it to be. You will be notified via email on every Tribute made and reported Tribute. - 10Can I invite Family and Friends to view the Memorial Website?
Yes. The best way to do this is to copy the URL and send it to your Family and Friends. Alternatively, you can use the 'Sharing' tools on the right hand side of every Memorial Website so others can view on your social networks what you have created and contribute as desired. More often than not you will be connected on social networks to many of your friends and family. - 11Can I create more than one Memorial Website?
Yes, you are able to create as many Online Memorial Websites as you wish. - 12How do I pay my respects when I visit someone's Memorial Website?
Navigate to the Memorial Website. Fill in the required fields under 'Add tributes', this will be the tribute, your first name, surname and then we ask you to input the characters that are in the image (this is to stop spam). If you have a Facebook account we allow you to easily share the tribute on your Facebook page as well. All you need to do it leave the tick box selected and login to Facebook when prompted. We also give every user the ability to show their respect by 'sharing' the page on many of the world's social networks. These icons are shown on the right hand side of every Memorial Website created. - 13Can I remove a Memorial Website I have created?
Yes. Once you login to your account or web page you will see a tick box near the bottom of the page 'Hide this page from the www' (If you tick this then your Website will be hidden from all users). It will only allow the creator (you) of the Memorial Website to view it and nobody else. - 14How long will my Memorial Website stay online?
No Memorial Website will ever be removed unless it is deemed offensive / abusive or it is requested by family members and those reasons are considered reasonable under Remember in Peace's policy. Once you have made the initial steps of creating a memorial wall your website link will never be available to anyone else to duplicate. However to keep the website live and on the web you will need to pay an annual hosting fee of £8 or less dependent on the package you select. An email notification will automatically be sent to your email address 3 months before time of renewal. - 15Can anyone set up an Memorial Website?
Yes, anyone can set up a Memorial Website as long as they have access to the internet. Part of the website link is automatically made up of the deceased name (however you can override this), but sometimes the name on the link has already been taken by someone of the same name. There will be instances where your desired link will not be available to use as it may already be taken. Do not worry though as a similar website link will be automatically provided or you will be able to input an appropriate one.. - 16Why should I go to the effort of setting up an Online Memorial Website?
There are many reasons and often they are of a personal nature. Time passes quickly and a Memorial Website gives an opportunity for personal web space to reflect and remember someone special. A Memorial Website can be accessed from anywhere in the world allowing family and friends to come together to show their respect and pay tribute. The website is built using the latest technology and we will continue to improve the site with no extra cost to you. - 17How much does it cost?
Setting up a Memorial Website is very easy and user friendly and can be live on the Web in less than 5 minutes. When you first create the Memorial Website, you can select a payment method from a number of annual options - ranging from 1 year to 5 years. One year's subscription is £8, two years £13, three years £17 and five years £25. - 18Why do we charge for the Memorial Website?
We are a private business with ongoing website maintenance and hosting costs. There is also continual design and development on the main features and functionality to keep the website up-to-date and live. We have tried to keep the costs to a minimum and our aim is to donate a proportion to charity at the end of each financial year. - 19Can I upload additional images to the memorial wall?
As well as the primary profile image you can upload 12 images to the Gallery section on your Memorial Website.
