*A memorial website gives family      members a way to deal with their grief. 
When a family member dies it is only natural for those left behind      to want
to bond with one another, but what do you do if your family is      halfway
around the country or on the other side of the world?  With a memorial website
family members      can log on and share their memories – no matter where they
are. 	*A memorial website provides a      lasting tribute.  An obituary in the  
   newspaper is a fleeting memorial, but a memorial website is a lasting     
tribute to the memory of a lost loved one.  A virtual memorial provides a
permanent place for shared memories,      cherished photographs, family stories
and more. 	*A memorial website provides a      great family history.  Many of us
     are looking for the history of our families, but researching those old     
records can be extremely difficult.  A memorial website can provide future
generations with an easy way      to learn about where they came from.  From
family stories and past accomplishments to family histories,      these memorial
websites can provide valuable information to generations      not yet born. 	*A
memorial website helps the      healing process.  Nothing helps the      healing
process quite as much as hearing wonderful stories about a lost      loved one. 
Family members can log      on to the memorial website and share their favorite
stories and precious      memories.  These stories and      memories can in turn
help those left behind to work through their grief      and build special
memories of their own. 	*A memorial website provides a central      repository
for cherished family photos, video tributes and more.  It is all too easy to
lose printed      photographs, and even photos stored on home computers are
subject to loss      due to accidental deletion, theft, hard drive crashes and
other      hazards.  By uploading precious      photos to a memorial website
family members can preserve those memories      and keep them safe from harm.
	*A memorial website is a great way      to celebrate a life well lived. 
Whether the lost loved one lived a rich full life or was taken far      too
early, a memorial website is a great way for those left behind to      celebrate
that life.  This virtual      tribute can serve as a place for family members to
gather together, tell      stories and swap memories of happier times.
