Losing someone you love is hard enough; organising everything around a farewell shouldn’t add to the strain. Forever in Our Hearts is a modern online memorial platform designed for families first. It helps you honour a life with a beautiful digital space for stories, photos and videos—while streamlining the practical parts of the day with an online guest book, order of service and donations, all accessible via a secure QR code. Your funeral director can also publish your memorial on their website using our platform, so everything remains easy to find and consistent across channels.
What is Forever in Our Hearts?
Forever in Our Hearts is a purpose-built, family-centred online memorial platform that preserves memories and connects everyone who cares—wherever they are. It’s a secure, always-on space to capture a loved one’s story with tributes, a life timeline, and a curated gallery.
Who it’s for
- Immediate family who want a single, shareable place for funeral details, memories and tributes.
- Friends, colleagues and community members who can’t be there in person but still want to contribute.
- Anyone who values an enduring, well-organised record of a life lived and communal space to remember.
How it works
- Create the memorial (you or your funeral director).
- Add key details, photos, videos and a life timeline.
- Choose a charity for donations.
- Share a link or QR code so guests can find everything quickly.
Why choose an online memorial today
An online memorial isn’t just a web page. It’s a structured, lasting archive that can grow over time. Social media posts disappear down a feed; this is a dedicated, searchable, shareable home for a legacy.
Always on, always accessible
Distance shouldn’t prevent remembrance. Family interstate or overseas can post memories, sign the online guest book, watch the livestream, any time, on any device.
Privacy and control
You decide who can post, what appears publicly, and when tributes go live. On top of that, we use AI sentiment checking to flag inappropriate or harmful content before it’s published, and block unsuitable media uploads automatically—giving families peace of mind that the memorial remains a safe and supportive space.
Inclusive and practical
From using a funeral service QR code on printed materials to centralising directions, parking and livestream links, the platform removes friction for everyone attending.
Create and share a beautiful tribute
At the heart of Forever in Our Hearts is a rich, lovingly presented tribute page.
Photos & videos gallery
Show the person you knew through images and clips—childhood moments, milestones, holidays, achievements.
Life timeline
Plot key moments from birth through to legacy—schools, careers, passions, places lived, marriages, services to the community. The timeline brings structure to memory, helping future generations understand the journey.
Tributes & messages
Invite friends and family to share messages, stories, pictures and videos to curate a communal space to remember a loved one.
Streamline the service for everyone
Grief brings enough complexity. These tools reduce admin and help guests feel more connected and informed.
QR code
Place a QR code on the order of service, venue signage or floral stands. A quick scan takes guests to the memorial page where they can:
- Sign the guest book
- Donate to charity
- View the order of service
- Post a tribute message
Digital online guest book
Trade the fragile paper book for a secure online guest book. Capture names and messages clearly—no smudged ink, no lost pages. Families can export entries later or compile a printed keepsake.
Digital order of service
Provide a digital programme with hymns, music, readings and acknowledgements. It’s simple to open on a phone, removing the logistics of paper booklets.
Donations
Link to your chosen charities or causes so guests can donate directly from the memorial page.
Keep everyone connected after the day
A memorial isn’t just for the week of the service—it becomes part of family history.
Anniversaries & milestones
Schedule gentle reminders for birthdays, death anniversaries. Invite fresh tributes each year and watch the memorial grow with new reflections.
Long-term preservation
Your online memorial remains accessible, backed up and supported. It’s a living archive that future generations can revisit, learn from and add to.
Find the resting place – fast
When friends come to pay their respects months or years later, clear directions matter.
Grave finder & map
The built-in grave location helps people locate the resting place without confusion—showing cemetery name, section, row and plot. One tap reveals a map and directions. Families can optionally add a discrete QR at the graveside to open the memorial page for context and reflection.
FAQs
Who can post on the memorial?
You decide. Keep it family-only, open it to the wider community or restrict to those with a QR code for access.
How does the online guest book work?
Attendees add their name and message digitally—on their phone at the venue, via the funeral service QR code, or from home. You can export or print the online guest book later.
Can we include a livestream or recording?
Yes. Add the link to the memorial page so it’s easy to find. If a recording is available afterwards, keep it on the page for those who couldn’t attend.
What if some relatives aren’t tech-savvy?
The memorial link and QR code simplify access. Either share the link, or include the QR code on service booklet or service sheet; anyone with a smartphone camera can scan and view.
How do donations work?
Choose your charity or cause and link it on the memorial page. Guests donate directly to the charity from the online memorial page.
Will the memorial stay online long-term?
Yes. Your online memorial is hosted and backed up. You’re free to return and add anniversaries, new photos and stories in the years ahead.
How do I create a memorial page?
Simply visit the memorial hub, or if you prefer, ask your funeral director to handle the set-up. Many already use our platform and can publish the memorial directly on their website, ensuring guests will find the page from the funeral notice they’re already reading.
