Create memorial website and invite guests
After all of the details of the funeral have been decided, and the guest list is finalized, it's time send a funeral announcement invitation.
A Memorial website is an easy way to communicate with friends, family, and the greater community, about the death and details of funeral and memorial events.
Tell guests where to go and how to help by creating a free Memorial invitation website from Autumn. Once complete, send the link in an email or text message.
The Memorial website will allow you to:
- Share important information and memories about the deceased
- Provide event dates, locations, and links to any virtual memorials
- Review RSVPs and condolence gifts
- Ask for support before, during, and after events
- Post memories, photos, and videos, and ask others to do the same
Important
If you prefer more privacy, set a password to ensure that only certain people have access. You will be able to change privacy settings at any time when creating the Memorial.
Helpful Tips
What information should be in the Memorial website?
To inform guests about the death, events and support requests, make sure to include the following information:
- Name of deceased, their birth and death date
- Names of surviving family members
- The day, time and location of the funeral and additional memorial events
- Photos of the deceased
- Whether the funeral is open to the public or not
- Availability of food/drinks
- Information on any additional event(s)
- Sympathy gift policy
- Specific support requests
Personal Considerations
Will a post-memorial activity be held for some or all funeral attendees?
Include information about the event on the Memorial website.
You can create as many events as needed, and guests can RSVP to each respectively.
Good to Know
If certain events are limited to certain guests, feel comfortable also stating this in the Memorial website. During this time, friends and family will respect any wishes you or the surviving family have.
Include this information in the Memorial website so as to set expectations. Guests will need to plan accordingly.
