Online Memorials

Forty years ago it was commonly expected that an obituary for a loved one would be published in the print newspapers in the community or communities where the deceased resided for any length of time. But the continued decline in readership, due in large part to the Internet, has greatly affected this long-standing tradition. In fact, today's newspapers are changing the way they deal with obituary submissions: while some local newspapers publish obituaries or death notices at no charge to the family; others demand a rather significant publication fee, based on word count or the number of column inches used, and there is usually an extra fee for any photographs submitted for inclusion.

Today, There's the Internet


Fortunately, online memorials have taken the place of the print obituary or death notice, and our funeral home offers what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories and our Funeral Home Facebook Page. These two options provide a permanent place for your loved one's services and tributes.
Far more than a traditional obituary —which is usually published only once and has no interactivity at all—the Book of Memories Memorial Website is a fully-interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.

You'll be able to invite others to visit the online memorial, where they can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt messages of condolence, send a floral tribute to the funeral, and so much more. And the built-in social media integration means they can then “spread the word” about their addition to your loved one’s Book of Memories™ using Facebook.

We offer the families we serve the use of our Facebook Page for the posting of their loved ones obituary. Today, this option is more popular than placing an obituary in your local paper. Our website and the use of our Facebook Page is completley free to you!
