What to Include on an Online Memorial Page

Updated 2026-11-15 · Reviewed by the Everleaf team

An online memorial page is where family and friends return on birthdays, anniversaries and ordinary days when they simply miss someone. The best pages feel less like a notice and more like a quiet room.

A portrait and a few words

Start with one photograph that looks like them, their name, their dates, and a single sentence that sounds like them, the kind of line a friend would say at the door.

Their story, in chapters

A few short chapters say more than a long obituary: where they came from, who they loved, what they made, what they cared about.

Photographs and a film

A gallery lets people linger on pictures they have never seen. A short film of their life is often the part people share with others.

Family

Parents, partners and children give a life its context, and connecting family pages lets the next generation find their way back through the tree.

Memories from everyone

Invite friends to leave a memory. You will hear stories you never knew. Approve each one before it appears, so the page always stays kind.

A simple address

An address that is easy to say and print, such as everleaf.life/their-name, means people can find the page from an order of service or a headstone years from now. Every Everleaf package includes one.
