What Is a Memorial Website? Pages, Stories, and Sharing

A memorial website is a dedicated online place to remember a person and share verified details with family and friends. A MemorialPics Basic page can include their name, dates, photo, resting place, and relatives. Premium adds a life story, photo and video galleries, memories, a guestbook, and ways for family to contribute.

Key takeaways

Start with the details the family is comfortable sharing.
Basic and Premium have different content features.
The page can be shared by link, with a QR plaque as an option.

What can go on the page?

Begin with a person's name, dates, and a portrait if the family has permission to use it. A resting place and family relationships can help visitors connect the page to the life. Premium gives more room for a biography, milestones, photo and video galleries, and memories from the people who knew them.

How families contribute

The memorial owner can invite family contributors on Premium. Visitor memories and guestbook entries are reviewed before public display. This lets the family gather different perspectives while checking names, details, and tone before sharing them more widely.

How people find the memorial

A published page can be sent by direct link. Owners can choose Public or Unlisted visibility; Unlisted is available to anyone who has the link. An optional QR plaque can connect a permitted headstone location to the page, but the page works without one.

Common questions

Can I make a memorial website for free?: MemorialPics offers a free Basic memorial with core details. Premium features are available through an upgrade.
Can I include photos and videos?: Basic includes a profile photo. Premium adds photo and video galleries.
Can the page be edited later?: The owner can manage memorial information in their dashboard, subject to the features of the selected plan.
Is Unlisted the same as private?: No. Anyone with an Unlisted memorial's link can open it; avoid including information that must stay confidential.
How is it different from an obituary?: An obituary usually announces a death and summarizes a life. A memorial page can also hold photos, stories, and later contributions, depending on its plan.
