The reasons
that motivate people to establish memorials
on Remembering are many and varied but a
thoughtful review of the following material
will help you to answer a question you may
already be asking yourself: Why do people do
this?
If you have just lost someone close to you,
the reasons you would establish a memorial
now will be different to those who lost a
loved one several weeks or even years ago.
For this reason the points we make below are
divided into sections.
To those dealing with a current loss:
By establishing a memorial now you will
enable family and friends, local and
international, to immediately link and
express their thoughts and support.
The memories they recall and the anecdotes
they can now share reveal the warmth and
regard this person was held in.
The comments they make can be used in any
forthcoming or future memorial service.
The order of Service can be placed on the
memorial so the service can be shared even
by those who can not be present.
Everyone involved can now creatively
remember them by sharing pictures, poems,
and simple thoughts of precious moments
past.
By creating a memorial now you will capture
people’s deepest, honest and most heartfelt
feelings.
By grouping their comments under one
memorial, those who are suffering most can
(and do) return time and again to remember a
friend they held so dear – they will visit
their memorial in the early hours of the
morning, from work and on the weekend.
Creating a memorial of this type now might,
for some, be the most difficult but it will
also bring the greatest benefit to all.
To those dealing with a past loss:
Many memorials are established to past
family members and friends because people
want to ensure a loved one is remembered by
generations to come.
By establishing a memorial and uploading
information to it both immediate and
extended family members recapture moments
spent with a loved who has died.
They can do this from anywhere in the world
and wherever they can access the internet.
Scattered family and friends can have
pictures uploaded to the site. Some of these
images may never have been viewed by others
before.
Who should establish a memorial
Memorials are established by the partner of
a loved one who has died, by their children
or a close family friend.
In some instances a close friend is more
likely to establish a memorial than a
partner or sibling who is now dealing, not
only with immediate funeral arrangements but
also with the personal impact of their loss.
If you think someone you have lost is worth
a memorial of this type then you are the
right person to set it up.
Our memorial system is free to use for two
weeks. You can then decide if the memorial
you have established should be kept online
permanently.
