What is an online book of condolence?
It is the digital version of the book people sign at a funeral or service. Not everyone can attend, and not everyone finds the words straight away. Online, you can write a few lines when you are ready. The family can read the messages afterwards, often in the weeks and months that follow.
Create a book of condolence on Remembr.
Every memorial page on Remembr. includes a tab for condolences. Instead of a stand-alone book, you get a page where condolences have a place of their own, next to a tab for memories with text, photos and videos. You decide whether you want just messages of sympathy or a fuller tribute.
How do you leave a message?
Open the page, go to the condolences tab and write your message. On a public page you can read without logging in. To post, you create a free account. Unsure what to say? Our guide to the book of condolence helps.
