Ways In Choosing The Best Memorial Websites

By Rosella Campbell


Getting over or passing the grieving period is quite difficult for anyone once a loved one moves on. It is quite common that many relatives and friends will want to keep visiting the place of rest of that special someone up to days and even a few weeks after interment occurs. Many would want to do this as much as time permits but may not be physically possible. Today many funeral homes have set up what they claim as best memorial websites on the world wide web so that more people can answer their needs.

Most will make a light jest that a memorial site is like the social site for the dead, whilst the living have their Facebook. It may be a tasteless joke for some people but if one analyzes the statement, it has some merit. This is because the memorial site also brings friends and relatives of the deceased to interact and share, such as any social media or social networking site does in keeping the memory of one who is missed greatly.

Using a checklist when trying to make choices amongst many alternatives is a wise thing to do. It is an invaluable tool in any management decision or choice that you make. If you have an opportunity to use a checklist then do so. Read on to see what items you should include in your own checklist to simplify your search and make a better decision.

How the site is organized is also a factor you must take into account. How it makes use of colors, blends and designs to give off a professional and uncluttered look must be considered. It must also be devoid or lacking in third party advertisements and banner ads that will detract from the overall focus and service. It must look as professional and tasteful as much as possible without it appearing too garish.

Make sure that the domain name is not sub contracted from another domain owner. This will ensure that the people you are dealing with have the funds to own their own domain names and maybe even dedicated servers. Better providers will usually have their own domains and servers which will assure longer and more stable up times and minimal, if any, down times. Look for providers that have their own servers and if not, ones that actually own the domains they exist in.

You must also avoid sites that sell too much. Some providers do this by having too many side panels and links to sell items you may be interested in. Do avoid providers that seem to be interested only in selling you items that they think you may need, when they should instead be focusing on the service that will help you ease your grief instead.

Training on how to use the features on your memorial page whether as administrator or visitor, must be provided. This will ensure that you will avoid any common mistakes and pitfalls. The provider must be able to provide you a complete FAQ database to go through.

As such these are some considerations you must put into mind when choosing the right provider. Also do include the level of customer service into your decision making.
