F.A.Q was last updated on the following date: May 27th, 2007.
.
1. Who can create an online memorial?
A memorial can be created by anyone, for anyone. We do however request that memorials only be created for individuals you know personally to avoid any duplication.
.
2. Is there a cost associated with this service?
In short, yes there is a cost associated with the services we provide. This is due to a decision we made that we would never post AD's on our site (as a lot of other sites do for revenue), ensuring the highest level of respect is always maintained.

With that said, creating an online memorial is free, and all extended services will remain free for a period of 2 months. During this time pledges can be made by visitors to the memorial, and once the total sum of all pledges reaches $100.00 (ie. 10 people pledge $10 each) the memorial will remain online without disruption forever. However, if not enough pledges are made; only the basic memorial information will remain available (until the pledges reach $100). For details on what information is considered an extended service please see our site terms and conditions.
.
3. What is an online memorial?
An online memorial is a profile (or series of web pages) dedicated to an individual that has passed away. The purpose of an online memorial is to provide a venue for loved ones to share memories and support one another following the passing of an individual. Extended memorial features allow family, friends and even site visitors to post stories, candles, photos and memories about this individual in a unique designed and respectful online community environment.
.
4. How will others find a memorial?
There are four primary methods to find or retrieve an online memorial.
  • Using web search engines such as Google™, Yahoo™ and Microsoft© Live Search.
  • Searching the memorial through the special search functionality of our website.
  • By browsing various memorials with a specifically requested criterion.
And most commonly;
  • Directly through the memorials unique link. This is the link located at the bottom of each page within a memorial that follows the following format: http://www.iwillremember.ca/JohnSmith, where JohnSmith is a unique name or description.
    This link never changes, and is accessible worldwide by anyone with an internet connection.

5. When I create a memorial, when will it be available?
