Getting Started
Now you have chosen a way of remembering a loved one, and carrying out their wishes helps create a sense of purpose throughout the bereavement journey, and can bring some level of comfort to the future ahead.
We are committed to providing the highest level of care to the bereaved, and ensuring you get an opportunity to create a uniquely personal memorial to commemorate the life of your loved one.
There are some things you will need to get together before we start.
Step 1: You will need a photograph of the person that the Tribute is dedicated to. As shown in this Sample Tribute.
This photo is for the main picture of your tribute and will be the first thing people see when they open it.
Step 2: What were their favourite 2 colours?
As you can see, the sample tribute is Blue and gold.
You can choose any 2 colours you want.
Say a Few Words
Step 3: Write a few words about the person that the tribute is dedicated to.
This can be as personal as you wish, or if you find it a bit difficult during your time of grief, choose a favorite poem or lyrics from their favour song. You can update this at a later date.
For Example, here are the worlds on the tribute shown:
‘Loving Wife, Mother & Friend - Gone But Not Forgotten’
‘It seems you only get one life, and when you come to terms with that, then you live life to the full, just like Eileen.
A woman who was proud of her heritage, dedicated to her family and loved her children. She often went without and sacrificed so much, so that others wouldn't have to, a woman that people looked up to and respected.
A wife that made her husband proud, a mother that other mothers admired, a mum to children that adored her, and a friend whenever you needed one. Eileen, you will be missed but never forgotten.
They say that when an old person dies, a whole library dies with them, this Tribute is dedicated to Eileen Doyle, a pillar of the community, big-hearted and always welcoming, and we invite you to pay your respects by keeping her memory alive.
Favourite Photos
Step 4: We need 2 more Photos
These can be any photos you wish, perhaps family photos, or close friends, maybe one particularly good photo of the dearly departed. We will also need the title or description of the photo.
Please remember that technology is our friend, and we can CROP an image on your behalf if there is only one section of it that you require.
For Example the image below has been altered, as we have Cropped the Image to remove the Dog.
Upload Videos
Step 5: A Video (If you have one?)
This can be a Stand-Alone video that you may have stored somewhere, taken on your mobile phone, or a video you have loaded to YouTube or other online platforms.
If you have more than one video, we can add them later to your expanded gallery, however this is limited to 10 short videos for your initial package.
Upload Photos
Step 6: Creating Your Gallery
For the Gallery, we will need your first 20 photos.
We are aware that you may have hundreds of photos that you may want to include, and we can add more once we have your Tribute created, but for now all we need is your first 20 images.
Please remember to include the title or description of each photo. This is limited to 50 Characters.
We Will Guide You
Step 7: Final Resting Place
We have the ability to include a location finder for the final resting place, and for this, we simply need an address including Postcode/ZipCode.
We understand that many people are cremated and the ashes are kept by the family, therefore this is an optional addition.
Perhaps you would like to put instead, their favour spot of natural beauty, a bench or park where they like to go, the option is yours.
Key to the Past
Step 8: Sharing the Tribute
We will provide you with a High-Resolution QR-Code that can be printed or engraved on a Plaque and placed at the final resting place or accompanying an Urn.
The QR-Code also sits at the bottom of the tribute, and when scanned by a mobile phone, the tribute will open a window into the life of the person it is dedicated to. You can then share the tribute with family and friends easily and seamlessly.
Your Link, Your Choice
On request, we can supply your unique tribute QR-Code in the format required for your etching or engraving.
The samples shown provides some ideas and ways in which your unique tribute QR-Code can be incorporated into your memorial plaques.
Share From Your Phone
In addition to the QR-Code, you can also use the ‘Share Card’ button to share the tribute by email and text.
Further details on how to share your tribute will be sent with the QR-Code.
