Online Memorials: An Option to Remember Loved OnesIn the United States alone, nearly 2.5 million people die every year. Funerals are unbelievable expensive, and can often cause a great deal of stress and concern for the deceased’s family members. In 2009, the average cost of a funeral in the U.S. totaled a jaw dropping $6,560 according to the National Funeral Directors Association, and the cost is only continuing to rise.
Life doesn’t stop for the deceased, and the mental and psychological difficulties are more than enough to deal with, notwithstanding the fact that funeral costs and arrangements are both exorbitant and extremely stressful and demanding.
These costs do not even include any additions you may feel necessary, and you want to commemorate and memorialize the deceased in the most respectful and reverent way possible without breaking the bank.
While many people have the luxury and financial flexibility that allows them to donate to a charity supported by the deceased, or purchase a memorial garden or statue, the majority of us do not, and still have to focus on supporting ourselves and our families.
Cremations and funerals are expensive enough as is, and the creation of some sort of a memorial is an additional stress and cost to consider.
In the age of technology, computers, and the Internet, more people than ever have readily accessible computers and Internet capabilities, and people continue to spend more and more time surfing the web.
If you are looking for a more affordable alternative to a tangible memorial, an online memorial is the right choice for you. Online memorials demand little to no startup cost, and enable you to commemorate and memorialize your loved ones without having to be concerned with the monetary burden of most other common memorials.
Online memorial websites are accessible to anyone, anywhere, and you can upload photos, videos, articles, and other commemorative materials that contribute to the memorializing and memory of the deceased.
A virtual memorial is a fantastic alternative to any other memorial, and can always be added to. Virtual memorials are far more personal than other memorials, and are limitless in terms of the content that can be added to them. Virtual memorials also have no maximum capacity, and you’ll never have to worry about running out of room for content, because you can always add or take away to anything posted on the memorial website.
If you want to commemorate a deceased loved one or friend, consider a virtual or online memorial—the most cost efficient and effective way to preserve and cherish the memory of a beautiful soul who had a positive impact on your life. |  |
