Guidance for creating a memorial, writing tributes, and remembering someone you love.
A tribute page (sometimes called a memorial page or online obituary) is a lasting online space dedicated to someone who has died. Family and friends can gather photos, stories, candles and condolences in one place — free, forever.
Sign up for a free TributeLegacy account, add your loved one's name, birth and passing dates, a short bio and a photo. You can then invite family and friends to share memories, light candles and leave tributes.
Yes. Creating and maintaining a tribute page on TributeLegacy is completely free. There is no time limit and no subscription required.
Keep it personal and sincere. Share a memory, a quality you admired, or simply say their name. Even short messages like "Thinking of you and your family" bring comfort. Avoid clichés and focus on the person.
Start with who the person was to you, share two or three short stories that capture their character, mention what they loved and what they leave behind, and end with a thank-you or farewell. Our free eulogy builder can help you draft one in minutes.
An obituary typically includes full name, dates and place of birth and death, key life milestones, surviving family, and funeral or memorial details. Our obituary writer guides you through each section.
Lighting a virtual candle is a simple way to show you are thinking of someone who has died and the people who loved them. On TributeLegacy each candle stays lit on the page as a visible mark of remembrance.
Choose a place that meant something to your loved one, invite people who knew them, and build the gathering around their music, food and stories rather than a strict order of service. You can use a tribute page to share details and collect memories beforehand.
There are practical steps (registering the death, contacting a funeral director, notifying employers and banks) and emotional ones (telling family, asking for support). Our guide "What to do when someone dies" walks through both.
Yes. Each page can be set to public — discoverable and shareable — or private, where only people you invite can see it. You can change this at any time.
Every page has its own shareable link and built-in share buttons for email, WhatsApp, Facebook and more. You can also invite custodians who can help add memories and moderate posts.
Pages stay online indefinitely so future generations can find them. You can keep adding key dates, photos and stories at any time — birthdays, anniversaries, and new memories.
