What a memorial website needs to do
Start with the service details so those who need them can find them. Add a short life story, photos chosen by the family and a way for friends to send messages. Keep the design calm and the writing plain.
Messages come to you through a simple form, and you choose which to add to the page, so the site stays gentle. Donations in memory link to the charity or tool the family chooses.
People searching for a memorial usually decide in seconds. Your site should answer the questions below before they have to ask.

Date, place and livestream link
