Remorial.com: Permanent Online Memorials

So, we live in a changed world, and apparently the way of death has changed as well. A site called Remorial.com gives people the ability to make permanent memorials for people they care about.

Here's their self description from their website:

A Remorial is a permanent online profile of a person who has passed that is created by a loved one or a friend. The profile is intended to tell the life story of an individual as well as allow visitors to share memories about the individual through pictures and stories. We have future plans to include audio and video content as well. Our goal at Remorial is to help you create an everlasting, high quality tribute for someone you care for to celebrate their life.

A new site, the makers of Remorial have created a few celeb Remorials to give you a sense of what you can do. Here are some screens from a Remorial for Heath Ledger:





I'm too old to think of anything digital as permanent, but this site really does offer a service to people looking for ways to recognize the outstanding people in their lives. We all matter to others.

Their model is free for the launch, but based upon site text I am guessing that there will be some sort of hosting fee in the future. Hard to imagine how an ad model would work here.

Thanks for rerading, and don't forget to write.
