I am about to begin production on this website but I would like to hear your feedback and if you would subscribe if the time was right.

The site is an online memorial where you register and we create you a small cozy place on the internet dedicated to your lost loved ones.

Here is how it would work.
You sign up and supply to us all the information you would like to display such as pictures, a nice description, and you then would choose from a number of templates and themes.

We then create your memorial online on our site so you, family, and friends can visit anytime they wish and pay respects. Friends and family can add their own memories about that person so others may be able to read and share experiences about them. Messages people wish to leave would be screened by us of course before they are entered onto the site.

We would charge a $20/year processing fee to create and maintain your dedicated memorial. I think it would be a great way for family to remember a lost member.

Everything would be done with class and have very high standards. I know it's a touchy subject but obituaries in the newspapers tend to fade and are only for 1 week, this will stand the test of time.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Up again.

Justso everyone knows, I am not asking for anyone to register or any fees, this is simply market research to see if this site idea has ANY potential at all

My fiance's sister is building a website for thier mother who passed away 2 years ago. It looks like a great way to memorialize her! They are both very computer literate and are able to build the site themselves so they would not need the service. Other people may want to use the service though. If you had a website with examples of your best work, people would have a better idea of your services and gain interestt that way. I say go for it, you have nothing to use

There are many sites where you can have memorials and it's free. For example, the PKD memorial site for pets that have died from PKD. So while in concept, it is a good idea; it might be hard to find paying customers when they can go to other sites for free.

you may need to offer something the free sites dont , ie flash movies made out of the pics of the loved one you can get a free flash movie / slideshow maker at http://www.snapfiles.com under the title of freeware or shareware (paid for ) if you prefer.

I sure would use it!!!!!!!! it would be perfect for my grieving Grandfather right now. It's been 2 years since my Grandmother passed away and he's still got the collage of pictures we made for the Funeral Sitting next to his Chair in the living room. I think making a web page as a memorial would be WONDERFUL!!!!
