Obituaryweb allows users to create and preserve memorials, ensuring that memories of loved ones live on digitally.

Any registered user can create/publish an obituary or memorial page for a loved one, while management privileges are limited to the creator/publisher or approved administrators.

An obituary is a digital presence for a deceased person before and during getting laid to rest. After burial/cremation date, an obituary becomes a memorial. Users can create and publish memorials directly even for loved ones lost many years ago. Key differences include: obituary has a death of announcenent, but memorial does not have; obituary has a Condolence book for signing, a memorial has an Anniversary book that followers can send anniversary message during only the respecitve anniversary month, each year.

The most likely reason is because you are not following the deceased person. Click on the Follow button to have the full experience.

We cherish and respect the dead and therefore do our level best to ensure that only positive or neutral comments remain. The dead can't defend themselves, therefore we come in to protect their dignity. We believe if you have nothing good or neutral to write about a lost soul, then keep it to yourself, but not broadcast it at obituaryweb.

When they lack respect to the dead, use vulgar language and/or the message is written in a non-official language. A blocked message can rewrite appropriately by the user and a community moderate will unblock it.

The main parts of the death announcement include:

     1. Name of the deceased
    
    2. Date of death and location.

    3. Close relatives to the deceased.

    4. Last known activity or profession the deceased was involved just before death.

    5. Place or burial/crenation.

    6. Burial arrangements, and location where family and friends are meeting, specify time.

    6. Optinal information may include cause of death.
                     

What to avoid in a death annoumcement post

     1. Sending condolence and tribute messages.
        
    2. Obituaryweb has a dedicated location in the deceased page where users can send tribute and condolence messages.
