Do you want to pay tribute to a person who has died?


There are lots of ways to honour a person's life and legacy. You could hold a memorial service or a celebration of life ceremony. You could personalise the funeral or wake with themed decorations. You could scatter their ashes in a special place. Or you could invest in a memorial keepsake, such as a piece of jewellery or an engraved ornament.


What you choose is completely up to you. It all depends on what feels right for your loved one and what you think might help you cope with your grief.


One option that's getting more popular is a web memorial. This is a type of virtual tribute that lets you memorialise a loved one online.


In this guide, we explore web memorials in more detail and show you how our online tribute service works.


What is a web memorial?


A web memorial is any kind of tribute that's published on the internet.


In its simplest form, a web memorial could be a Facebook page that's set up so people can leave condolence messages and share in their grief. Or it could be an Instagram post that expresses condolences to the person's family.


Web memorials aren't limited to text and images, either. For instance, you could film a YouTube video where you say a few words from the heart.


To make these kinds of memorials, you only need an internet connection and a social media account. But there are specialised memorial websites, too. These might be more suitable if you want your tribute to follow a set format.


You'll find lots of these web memorial platforms online. Features vary from one to the next, but generally, they allow you to write a short tribute to the person who has died and share some treasured photographs. They might also allow others to post messages of condolence.


How is Treasured Moments different?


Standard web memorial platforms are fine if you want a simple place where people can visit and pay their respects online.

But they do have a couple of limitations. One of the biggest is customisability: most platforms only offer one layout or a handful of options. If you want to personalise your memorial to reflect your loved one's hobbies or personality, there's not much you can do beyond changing the text or uploading different pictures.


Then there's the issue of actually making the memorial. Most web memorial platforms rely on you to provide the text and make sure everything looks just right.


That's fine if you enjoy this kind of thing. You might even find the process therapeutic. But if you don't have the time or mental energy, it can feel like one more job on a long, long list.


Treasured Moments works differently. When you choose our web memorial service, you get a beautiful tribute website that's hand-crafted for you by experts.


You have control over what's included and how it looks. However, the actual creation process is handled by our UK-based team of web artists, writers and video specialists.


This means you can relax knowing that your web memorial is in good hands. Plus, you can be sure that the finished product will have a professional look and feel that's hard to achieve on your own.


What can my web memorial include?


A Treasured Moments web memorial can feature almost anything you like. Remember: it's your tribute and we're here to make sure it matches your vision to a T.


That includes features you'll find on most make-a-memorial websites, including photo galleries and a space for a written tribute. But the difference with Treasured Moments is that there's no limit on the number of photographs you can showcase – and the written tribute is crafted by a professional writer based on the memories you share.


And that's not all – far from it. You can also add messages of sympathy from family members. You can include favourite poems or meaningful quotes. And you can embed music and videos, such as a YouTube video of your loved one's favourite song.


If you really want to do something special, we can even make a video for you. This will take pride of place within your web memorial and will feature a professional script and narration, plus a slideshow of your most cherished photographs.

And don't forget that you have control over the layout of your web memorial. You're not stuck with one template. You can include as much text and as many images as you like – and we'll craft your tribute from the ground up so it feels as unique as a custom-made memorial keepsake.


Here's a list of some of the things you can include:


  • Professionally written tribute
  • Photo gallery
  • Quotes
  • Poems
  • Messages of sympathy from loved ones
  • Embedded music and videos
  • Bespoke remembrance film (with Orchid and Lily tributes)
  • Unique URL and QR code so you can share your web memorial with others


But – again – this is just a guide. If you have something special in mind, just let us know. Our designers will always do their best to make it happen.


How does the process work?


Getting started is simple. All you have to do is get in touch and a member of our team will talk you through the process.


Next, you'll fill in our online submissions form. This is where you can share memories and let us know about the person who has died. We'll use the information you provide when we write and build your web memorial.


But before we get started, we'll give you a call or get in touch by email (your choice). This is to make sure we understand exactly what you want and to request more details if necessary.


And that's it! All you have to do is wait. In just a few weeks, you'll have a beautiful online memorial that you can visit, share and cherish.


We hope it brings you comfort for many years to come.
