Inviting Family to Share Memories
Inviting others can bring comfort, but it can also feel sensitive. A clear, gentle invitation helps people understand what the memorial is for and how they can contribute.

Keep the invitation simple
Explain that the memorial is a private or family-controlled place for photos, stories and tributes. Let people know there is no pressure to write immediately.
Set expectations
- Who can view the memorial
- Whether tributes are reviewed before publication
- What kind of memories feel welcome
- Who to contact with questions or concerns
