Create an Online Memorial Page for a Loved One
A place to gather photos, stories, and candles — free to create, beautiful to visit, and made to be shared.
In one paragraph
An online memorial page is a dedicated webpage honoring someone who has passed — with photos, stories, a guestbook for visitors, and a shareable URL. MyLegacySpace memorial pages are free on every plan and include photo slideshows, lit candle animations, embedded songs, and guestbooks. They can also be part of a family tree, so every ancestor gets their own tribute.
What is an online memorial page?
An online memorial page is a dedicated webpage that honors someone who has passed — a place where family and friends can share photos, read stories, leave messages in a guestbook, and light a virtual candle. It replaces scattered emails, printed programs, and dusty albums with one shareable link that keeps their story alive for every generation that searches for them.
What makes our memorials different
Free on every plan
You don't need a subscription to honor someone. Memorial pages are free to create on the Free plan, forever — photos, guestbook, candles, and all.
Photo slideshow, guestbook, and lit candles
Upload any number of photos, embed a meaningful song, invite visitors to sign the guestbook, and let anyone light a virtual candle in their memory.
A living profile that becomes a memorial
Unique to us: the same profile your loved one used — or that you built for them — transitions into a memorial automatically when the time comes. Nothing is lost in the transition.
A custom URL you can share anywhere
Print it on the program. Link it from the obituary. Scan it from a QR code on a headstone. Legacy Pro unlocks fully-custom memorial URLs.
How it works
- 1
Create the memorial
Add photos, stories, dates, and biographical details. Choose a theme and embed a meaningful song. Takes about five minutes for a basic page — or hours if you want to pore over old albums.
- 2
Invite family and friends to contribute
Share the memorial link with relatives, friends, and anyone who loved them. They can sign the guestbook, add photos, and light virtual candles in their memory. You stay in control of who can contribute.
- 3
Share the link anywhere that matters
Print the URL or QR code on the memorial program, link it from the obituary, or post it wherever the community gathers. The page stays online indefinitely — generations from now, descendants will be able to find it.
Why MyLegacySpace
Legacy.com hosts obituaries. Ancestry documents ancestors. We do something neither does: we unify them. The same profile a living family member built during their lifetime becomes their memorial when the time comes — photos, stories, and time-capsule messages all in one place. Nothing is lost. Nothing is forgotten.
Questions about online memorial pages
- Is it really free to create an online memorial page?
- Yes. Memorial pages are free to create on every MyLegacySpace plan, including the Free plan. You can include a photo gallery, guestbook, lit candle animation, biographical details, and a shareable URL with no subscription required. Legacy Pro adds fully-custom memorial URLs.
- What goes on an online memorial page?
- Photo galleries and video tributes, a lit-candle animation, a guestbook for visitors to leave messages, biographical details, a timeline of life events, an embedded Spotify song, and a custom shareable URL. Visitors can also upload their own photos and memories if you invite them.
- Can people I invite add photos and stories?
- Yes. Share the memorial page link with family and friends and they can sign the guestbook, upload photos, and contribute their own memories. You stay in control — you can approve contributions before they go live or moderate them after the fact.
- Can I create a memorial for someone who passed long ago?
- Absolutely. Memorial pages work for anyone — a parent who passed last week, a grandparent from decades ago, or an ancestor from two centuries back. If you have their name, dates, and any available photos or stories, you can give them a proper digital home.
- How long does the memorial page stay online?
- Memorial pages do not expire. As long as you or a successor account owner maintain the account, the page remains online indefinitely. This is intentional — memorials should outlast a subscription cycle.
- Can I print a QR code linking to the memorial page?
- Yes. Every memorial page has a QR code you can download and print on a memorial program, thank-you card, or even a headstone. Visitors scan the code with any phone camera and land directly on the memorial.
- What happens to a family member's profile when they pass?
- This is unique to MyLegacySpace: the same profile a living family member built during their lifetime becomes their memorial automatically when they pass. Photos, stories, time-capsule messages — nothing is lost in the transition. The URL changes from /[their-slug] to /memorial/[their-slug] and the page takes on memorial styling.
