MuchLoved tributes are free and all have a wealth of features, including:
Easy set up
You can create your tribute in just a few minutes and no computer programming or website experience is needed. There is a simple 5 step process to follow and you can then view and share your website immediately.
You are provided with a unique web address which is yours to keep. For example a website to Jack Smith might be jacksmith.muchloved.com, but you can select your own name (such as a nickname) if you prefer.
Your website will look beautiful
There are over 100 sensitive and inspiring design templates for you to choose from to act as a backdrop to your website. These include themes based on love, memories, flowers, seasons, the natural world and landscapes.
Your Tribute will not be fixed width in appearance; it will automatically expand or reduce its size so that it intelligently fills different sized viewing screens.
You can personalise everything and if you choose not to add a particular element (such as video) it will not show as an option to visitors so that you do not then show a ‘Nothing Here’ message. We want your Tribute to look beautiful, regardless of what information or how much you add.
Likewise, there are not and never will be any adverts or promotional material added to your Tribute, ever. It is your site, for you.
Many options such as Thoughts, Stories and Gallery
Your Tribute memorial has an initial entrance page where you display your main words of tribute and picture slideshow, but you can if you wish develop your Tribute much further and create as many pages as you want.
There are sections available for you to preserve messages of condolence, tell life stories, record key life events, keep a journal, display a picture gallery, and more.
Why not create a test tribute to quickly familiarise yourself with all the options and to assess whether our service is likely to be right for you.
You can continually update and develop your site
After setting up your initial website, you can then add, delete and amend everything whenever and how often you want, without limit or charge.
Examples may be changing the design template, updating your main words of tribute, adding more pictures and music or even starting to use your site to fundraise for a chosen charity in memory.
Our aim is that your website is of help and relevance to you throughout your grieving process and so it is important that you can develop and update it at any time.
Adding stories and keeping a personal diary
You can add as many stories as you wish, however short or long. You can build up a Life Story of many, many chapters if you wish and by providing the point or period of time they took place, a Timeline will be created for you as well.
You can also keep a personal diary on your Tribute for recording your feelings and your journey through grief. This can be kept totally private if you wish, even to invited guests.
Adding photos, music and video
We enable you to easily add photos, music and video which you can organise in your Tribute Library facility and show in your Gallery. You can link any of these to display with particular stories and you can create a personalised slideshow for your main Tribute page.
You can also create your own music play list for visitors to listen to as they browse, with full audio controls to pause, adjust volume or mute.
Full control over access and contributions
You can decide whether to allow public or private access to your tribute. Even if you do not want public access you can still enable selected people to visit using your own easy ‘Invite’ facility that you are provided with.
You can also decide whether to allow contributions to your site from visitors (such as messages of condolence) and you are given the option to approve them before they are posted onto your Tribute.
A sensitive way of inviting friends and family
We provide you with an invitation facility that will send special email invites to your guests so that they can visit without having to enter a password first, even when you keep your Tribute private to anyone apart from your guests. As a result your guests can easily visit your tribute, but at the same time you can keep it secure to anyone else.
You can raise funds for your favourite charity
MuchLoved works with many bereavement and support organisations and you can also set up your Tribute with the option of accepting donations as a fitting way of raising money for your charity of choice.
We keep your site online for 10 years... or forever
MuchLoved hosts your Tribute for you so that it is online whenever you want to visit over the days, months and years after your loss. We always host for 10 years but we also give you the option to keep it online forever, so that you can create a truly special lasting memorial for future generations to visit and find out about your loved one.
