In
partnership with the memorial website charity MuchLoved we are pleased to
provide you with an easy to use way of creating a beautiful Tribute website in
memory of your loved one that can also be used to fundraise in memory for any
charity of your choice.
What
is a MuchLoved Tribute Website?
MuchLoved
is the UK registered charity set up in 2005 to help bereaved people create
beautiful, personalised memorial websites in memory of their loved ones free of
charge.
You
are provided with your own unique website where you can easily add and display a
whole range of information and memorabilia including stories, messages of
condolence, pictures, music and even video clips. Every website can be
personalised with a range of sensitive designs to choose from and a number of
different website sections to build such as a Gallery and Timeline and even an
online diary for your thoughts.
An
important ethos of the MuchLoved memorial website service is that all the
websites are designed to allow people to remember in private if they wish, so
they are not initially made public to anyone on the internet. It is left to you
to decide whether you wish to allow public access and whether or not other
people are allowed to contribute to your tribute site.
How
do you set one up?
Please
click the link below at http://wepinder.muchloved.org and choose the ‘Create A
Tribute’ option which enables you to set up your memorial website in just a few
minutes. There is a simple 5 step process designed to make it easy for anyone to
do, regardless of their level of computer experience.
Once
you have created your memorial website, it is kept as a 'Trial' site so that you
can test the service for a couple of weeks and start to add photos and other
information without having to commit to keeping it. In other words, you can find
out for yourself whether creating a memorial website is right for you and at any
stage you can upgrade to keep your memorial online for 10 years or even for
perpetuity.
How
do you collect donations on the memorial?
When
you create your memorial you can choose to enable donations for a charity of
your choice and if you do this, a ‘Donate’ option will appear on your memorial
to all visitors to your site. This will then direct anyone wishing to make a
donation to our secure online donate page where they can then make their payment
in memory of your loved one.
All
these donations will immediately appear on the site along with any messages of
support left by your donors.
How
to encourage donations to your online Tribute fund?
You
are provided with an 'Invite Manager' on your MuchLoved website which allows you
to send email invitations to friends, family and colleagues so that they can
visit your website and also consider making a donation.
You
can also let all your friends and family know the website address and encourage
them to pass this address on to others, but please note that you will need to
enable public access first in your 'Privacy Options' in your Settings
Panel.
You
can also let more people know about your loved one and your Tribute fund by
adding your tribute website address to forums or networking sites such as
Facebook and Twitter. It is up to you whether you want to fundraise from just
close family and friends or to widen the net as much as
possible.
