A new ebook service memorialebook.com makes it easy to create a Memorial eBook online. Friends and family from around the globe who have lost a loved one can pay their respects and share memories by posting messages and photographs in an ebook creating a personal, lasting celebration of a loved one’s life.

Memorial eBooks are electronic books, free to create and view online at memorialebook.com. Setting up a book or making a contribution takes just a few minutes and does not require any technical knowledge or creative skills. Anyone with internet access can create a Memorial eBook or contribute with stories, messages and photos in to a book that has been set up.

Memorial eBooks are password protected and are private spaces. Only people invited by the creator of the ebook can view or contribute messages and photographs to the Memorial eBook which ensures they are not open to the often tasteless postings of unwanted visitors.

A Memorial eBook can contain any number of pages and once a book is complete can be purchased for just $13.00USD. This guarantees life-time access to the Memorial eBook via the website and a downloadable print-ready pdf copy which can be stored on a personal computer, memory stick or other media. The file can also be used to create a printed hard copy of the book. Many relatives or friends may choose to purchase the ebook to remember their loved one.

Memorial eBooks founder, New Zealander Carin Hetherington says the idea for Memorial eBook came from her own experiences of loss, ‘We lived in Wanaka for 12 years and my husband was involved in the ski industry as a snow safety officer at Treble Cone. Sadly we lost friends and colleagues through accidents on the mountains. These people lived life to the fullest and their friends and family were often scattered around the globe. memorialebook.com was inspired by our friends – we wish we had more great photos and stories to remember them by’.

With many people living abroad at any time, Carin adds, ‘We know people want to contribute or pay respects when a life is lost but feel too far away. With memorialebook.com distance is not an issue and unlike funeral books, any friend or relative can download a copy’.

There are eight choices of design and layout for Memorial eBooks and the designs are simple and sophisticated, to keep the focus on the celebration of someone’s life.

The website has been designed with ease of navigation and use in mind and the site does not currently carry any advertising or sponsorship.
