How to create a digital memorial for a loved one
A digital memorial brings a person’s story and the memories of those who knew them into one place. Start with a few photos and a few words, then build a fuller tribute with family and friends.
Start with meaningful details
Choose a name, a profile photo and the dates you want to share. Add a few moments from the person’s life: family, work, favourite places, interests or everyday habits. A simple, personal story is enough to begin. You can add more later.
Choose photos and give them context
Begin with a small selection rather than every family album. A childhood photo, a family gathering and an everyday moment show different sides of a life. Add the people, place or year when known, and avoid presenting an uncertain date as an established fact.
Invite family and friends to contribute
Memories from different people add depth to a tribute. Invite a short story, a written message or a voice recording. Empreinte Vie places writing and recording behind the same contribution button. A voice tribute can later receive an optional transcription, or remain audio only.
Choose who can view the profile
Decide on visibility before sharing the link. Public profiles can be viewed by people who access them; private or protected profiles require the appropriate access. Ask relatives before publishing personal details or their photos. A QR code opens the profile but does not override its privacy controls.
Share during and after a funeral
Send the memorial link to family or use a QR keepsake to make it easy to find again. A dedicated event page can help collect several tributes during a celebration. Have someone available to assist guests who would rather dictate a message than type it.
A digital profile, with or without a keepsake
Empreinte Vie offers a 7-day trial without a credit card. A one-time paid package then provides the lifetime access described in the offer. Choose a digital profile or a package with a QR cube or plaque. Review current pricing and terms when choosing a package.
