Throughout the centuries, people have come up with different ways to honour and remember their loved ones who have passed away. The ancient Egyptians, for instance, laid their deceased rulers in gold and jewel-encrusted sarcophagi and built monuments for them. Although such a lavish way of immortalising the deceased is no longer the norm these days, many of us still find special ways to remember the life of those who were dear to us. One of these methods is by creating online memorials for them.
With the advent of modern technology, people have turned to the Internet to celebrate the life of families and friends who have passed away. Through these online memorials, they are able to relive how these special people changed their lives and made them more meaningful.
What are Online Memorials?
Online memorials are basically individual pages that pay respect and give tribute to people who have passed on. On these pages, families and friends can interact with each other and share stories about the deceased to keep their memories alive. They can also post pictures and videos, draw pictures, and write personal messages on the online Guest Book. Virtual candles can also be lit for the deceased.
Simple and easy to use, online memorials can be accessed by people of all ages. So no matter how old or young you are, as long as you want to share funny anecdotes about a deceased loved one or write a message to people who are also missing them, you are free to do so anytime.
HeavenAddress is Leading the Way
If you’re looking to create a personalised memorial for a loved one, HeavenAddress can help. HeavenAddress is a respectful online community that inspires families and friends to share and create stories that celebrate the life of loved ones who are no longer with them. It was established in Sydney in 2009 by Derek Goh, who realised that there wasn’t a website that could help families who wanted to re-create memories for deceased loved ones online. A year later, HeavenAddress was finally unveiled to the public. Today, while it is primarily based in Australia, the site also serves clients from different parts of the globe.
The people behind HeavenAddress believe that:
- Every person is a hero to somebody.
- Every life lived is unique and important.
- The sharing of memories can provide comfort to those left behind.
- Connecting with family, friends and organisations creates a community, which provides comfort, support and a sense of belonging.
With these core beliefs, HeavenAddress continues to serve families in a respectful environment, helping them preserve memories of loved ones that will last forever and play a crucial role for people of both old and new generations.
