Tribute authors now have the ability to save attachments with a memorial, allowing the addition of Web friendly files for download by visitors. For example, a PDF document containing the funeral program would make an ideal attachment for visitors to browse. We restrict attachment content to Web friendly formats such as PDF, graphics, plain text articles, PowerPoint Presentations and Rich Text Documents. The quantity of attachments permitted is dependent on the memorial package you have selected. Suggested uses for this feature include attaching newspaper articles, service programs, PowerPoint slide-shows containing multi-media, hand written letters or various other noteworthy documents.

Video is fast becoming a dominant media online and we have just extended this technology to our visitors of memorial tributes. This month we announced the introduction of a Sympathy Video Posting feature, where visitors can post a video message containing their condolences in memory of the deceased. Users simply provide basic details regarding their video, select the video file saved from a web-cam recording and upload. Our staff review all content uploaded, so it must be appropriate and conform to our conditions. When approved, the video will be published live on the memorial site for visitors to view and comment. We suggest signing up today for a 2 week free trial to explore our quickly expanding features for online memorial packages.

Users can now embed YouTube videos into their memorial content within seconds. This feature will allow authors to include favorite songs, movies, teachings and other video content directly into their memorial tribute, enriching the experience for visitors paying their respects. We welcome you to sign-up for our 2 week trial and explore our rich feature set memorial packages.
Our new Quick Response (QR) 2D Barcode feature enables a link to your tribute to be encoded in a special bar code graphic. Anyone with a smart phone (i.e. iPhone, Android, Blackberry) with QR Code reading software will be able to scan this 2D barcode and have their device automatically open the linked online memorial, making access to the memorial from the gravesite very simple and easy. This feature is standard with all memorial packages offered. The graphic can be printed on funeral programs to allow easy access to the online tribute before and after the memorial service or etched into a stone plate that can be permanently attached to the tombstone or grave, to enable access to the online memorial from the gravesite years into the future.
