CREATING AN ONLINE MEMORIAL  

This is probably something you will spend a bit of time at.  You may want to draft your memorial page on paper or work out some of your ideas on your computer.  After a month, I was still pondering and making little changes to the memorial I posted for my dad. 

If you decide to submit the information by email, please refer to the check list a little further down this page. The check list is for the basic details of the memorial. If you prefer to use the online form for submitting your memorial information, just click here. In either case, please be sure to include a working email address for yourself so that we can be in touch with you!  

If you are naming living persons in the memorial you will want to have their permission.  If you would like to link a family home page or genealogy site  from the memorial page - just let me know.  I will always respond immediately to email enquires so don't hesitate to ask questions or offer suggestions.

It is important that your provide the following information for our administration of the online memorials.  This information will not appear on your memorial page unless you specifically request that it be posted.

YOUR First Name, Middle Name and Last Name:    
Address, City/Town:     
Province or Territory:  
Country:     
Your Email Address  
Full Name of Person you are creating the memorial for:  
Specify which package you have chosen Granite, Marble or Custom and the number of photographs or images you want to use.  

The following information is for your memorial page.  The first six items should be considered essential information though all information is optional and you may delete or add information at any time. 

Full name of deceased - First, middle & last  
Subtitle or caption (e.g. 'ever in our hearts')  
Date of Birth (e.g. month, day, year)  
Place of Birth (e.g. Brandon Manitoba)  
Date of Death (e.g. month day year)  
Place of Death (e.g. Vancouver, British Columbia)

Marriage(s)  Who, when & where  
Children, Grandchildren, Siblings . . .  
Email contact to post on page (optional)  
Website address (family or genealogy)

If there is a difficult part to creating your memorial, this is it.   
The heart of the matter - Writing something about how would you like this person to be remembered.  You might want to write about or mention the person's education, military service, marriage's, children, religious milestones, residences, jobs, family events, death & burial. Perhaps there is a eulogy from your loved one's memorial service that you would like to publish.  You might include a biography, a brief genealogy, personal accomplishments, or any other information that you would like to be displayed as the main part of the memorial page. Remember, you can change it, make corrections, or add to this at any time.    

Just a note:  If I were using this website to create a memorial, I'd use email to submit my info.  What I would do is copy the text that I needed from this page and paste it into an email so I could save it and work on it at my leisure.
