Online Memorials
About forty years ago, it was expected that an obituary for a loved one would be printed in the newspapers within the communities where the deceased resided for any length of time. However, the continued decline in readership, due mainly to the internet, has greatly affected this long-standing tradition. In fact, today's newspapers are changing the way they deal with obituary submissions. Although some local newspapers will publish obituaries or death notices at no charge, others may charge a significant publication fee. These fees may be based on word count or the number of column inches used. There is usually an extra fee for any photographs submitted for inclusion.
Today, There's the Internet
Fortunately, online memorials have taken the place of print obituaries or death notices. Our funeral home is proud to offer what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories ™ . This online memorial tool was created by award-winning web developers and designers. The Book of Memories ™ is intended to give your family a permanent place to pay tribute to your loved one.
More About the Book of Memories™
Far more than a traditional obituary, the Book of Memories ™ Memorial Website is a fully-interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.
You'll be able to invite many others to visit the online memorial. They can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt condolence messages, send a floral tribute to the funeral, and so much more. And the built-in social media integration means they can then "spread the word" about their addition to your loved one's Book of Memories™ using Facebook and Twitter.
We offer the families we serve a Book of Memories ™ memorial website with the intention that it gives you a degree of peace and comfort during the coming months. To arrange for a Book of Memories® memorial website for your loved one,
call us today.
