What is on a memorial page

On Voljeni there are two kinds of page, for the same price.

A page with the funeral, for someone who has just died

  • a photo, the name and the years,
  • the date, time and place of the service, with a map to the cemetery,
  • the obituary, ready to share,
  • messages and farewells, written or spoken,
  • candles, or a lantern, or the Fatiha for Muslim families,
  • later, the memorial services and the place of rest.

A page of memories, for someone lost months or years ago

  • the life story,
  • an album from the whole family,
  • stories, sayings, songs and recipes,
  • candles and messages for anniversaries and birthdays.

See the examples: a page with the funeral and a page of memories. The people are made up, and the pages work like real ones.

How it differs from other options

  • The obituary on the funeral home website is usually included in the service and often has a guestbook. It is made for the days around the funeral.
  • A memorialized Facebook profile keeps the person's own posts and lets friends write on it. It exists only if the person had a profile, and it stays under Facebook's rules.
  • A fundraising page helps with the costs of the funeral, but it is not a place for memories.
  • A memorial page is made for remembering. It belongs to the family, the family decides what is on it, and it keeps growing for years: anniversaries, birthdays, photos the grandchildren find.
