Digital legacy, not just social media
Social posts disappear in feeds, platforms change rules, and accounts may be locked. A memorial page is a deliberate place you steward — with moderation, no ads on the page, and a link you can print in a programme or obituary.
You stay in control
The family chooses what appears and what stays down. Social networks optimise for engagement; a memorial page optimises for dignity and memory.
One link for every generation
Older relatives may not use the same apps as younger ones. A web page works on any phone and can be revisited years later without digging through old posts.
Complement social, replace nothing
Many families still share the link on Facebook or WhatsApp. The page is the archive; social is the megaphone.
Common questions
- Should we still post on Facebook?
- Many families do both. Use social to announce the page; use the memorial to keep the full collection.
- What happens if The Forever Young shuts down?
- We aim to be a long-lived steward of memories. For operational questions, contact us through the privacy page form.
- Can we download our memories?
- Family stewards should keep local copies of important media. Export features may expand over time; treat the page as shared, not the only copy.
