By Eloise Hewitt


Once a loved one passes away it can take a while for us to pass the grief stage. Most of us will take up to two years to recover and some even longer. During the initial months of grief most people will want to visit the resting place of their loved ones as much as possible. However, this is not possible all the time. However, the creation of memorial websites have made the grieving stage a bit easier, and this article will show you how to choose the best memorial websites for your needs.

The memorial website can be lightly thought of as a social media site for those who passed away. It is made so that memories can be shared with everyone in the internet and for those who are too far away or too indisposed to actually make a visit. In this way it is like a lasting monument on the world wide web for that special someone.

When looking for the best one for your needs you will need a handy checklist to assist you. This article will cover some items you need to keep a lookout for so that it will be easier for you to decide to choose the right service for your requirements and needs. Although simple, checklist can be a powerful decision making tool in the long run.

How the site is organized is one of the more important things to look out for. The site must be friendly to all users no matter what their computer usage level. It is safe to benchmark that it must be able to navigated easily by a computer literate child so that you can be sure that anyone will be able to navigate it easily also. This is because not a lot of people are comfortable with the computer as you may think, even though we live in the Information Age.

Some providers only borrow domains as sub domains and you do not want this. A provider that does not own its own domain will mean slower loading times and they will be dependent on the service provider that they themselves have rented from. Check the url to see if their name is like the address name so that you can be assured that they have their own domain. If they do own their own domain it will mean in general faster loading times and data safety.

The provider of the webpage you are looking at should not be too commercialized. Many of them out there have so many links to purchase items like flowers, memorabilia products and the like that it looks like you are going through a shopping website. Stick to the one that gives the service of really remembering your loved one and not pandering products alongside the service.

In addition, the service you look for should provide some kind of training for you to navigate, post and edit the memorial page of your loved one. They should provide you with the necessary materials to train yourself, and if possible even training videos to help you ease into it. They should likewise have some sort of customer service function where you can ask for assistance at any time.

In sum these are the main things to look out for when choosing a provider. There can be others you can put in however, but these are the main ones that you should always keep in mind.
