When a death occurs, families must organise funeral services, go to the funeral home or funeral director, decide between burial or incineration, arrange the cremation, the coffin or the funeral urn, and inform everyone who knew their loved one.
At The Memorial, we offer you a private and accessible space to support you through this process: a free online memorial for 30 days, which also works as a modern and easy-to-share digital death notice.
It is an alternative to the traditional printed death notice, where you can announce the passing, receive condolence messages, share memories and, if you wish, keep their memory alive forever.
The Memorial is a platform for creating online memorials quickly and easily.
It works like a digital wake: a private space where family and friends can pay tribute, write messages, share photos, celebrate the life of their loved one and support each other through grief, even when they are far away.
In addition, The Memorial replaces the traditional printed death notice or obituary: it allows you to announce the passing, receive condolence messages and keep them in one accessible and visible place for everyone who loved them.
After a cremation, incineration, burial or any other traditional funeral service, many people choose to open an online memorial to continue remembering and to keep their memory alive beyond the day of farewell.

The online memorial has been a refuge for our family. I can visit and remember my son at any time, and seeing the photos and messages of love from friends and family has brought us so much comfort. The creation process was simple, and the result is a beautiful tribute to his life.
Creating a memorial for my father on this platform was a deeply emotional and rewarding experience. The ability to personalise every detail and add animated elements truly brought his memory to life. It’s comforting to know that we’ll always have this space to remember and share his legacy.
The online memorial tool has been invaluable for our extended family, who live in different parts of the world. Everyone can access the memorial, leave messages, and share memories, which has kept my mother’s memory alive. The interface is easy to use, and the customer support was excellent throughout the process.
If you wish, we can enhance and animate your loved one’s main image to bring it to life.
