How to Create and Share a Memorial Page

A practical guide to creating an online memorial, choosing who can view it, adding a life story and photos, and sharing it with family and friends wherever they are.

An online memorial gives family and friends a shared place to remember someone, read their story, look through photos, and keep important dates and tributes together.

Muzukuru's memorial pages include an obituary, favourites, a life timeline, memories, a photo gallery, and upcoming events. The available sections and access depend on the page settings and the visitor's permissions.

This guide follows the memorial creation and management options in Muzukuru's client portal. Review the visibility choice before sharing the page, because public memorials can be found through search engines.

Part 1

Create the Memorial Page

Begin with the name and details your family wants to share

Start from Create Memorial and enter your loved one's first name and surname. Continue with the requested memorial details, including dates and relationship information, then create or sign in to the account that will manage the page.

Choose the page visibility during setup. Public pages are viewable by anyone and can be found through search engines. Private pages are hidden from other people. Family and Friends pages are intended for a limited audience. The creation flow and page privacy controls may use different labels, so check the current choices shown in the portal.

Choose visibility before sharing

A public memorial can appear in search results. If your family wants a more limited audience, select a restricted visibility option and check who has access before sharing personal details or photographs.

Part 2

Add Their Story and Personal Details

Build a page that reflects the person being remembered

Add a profile photo and obituary with the details your family has agreed to publish. Page administrators can edit the obituary and deceased person's details from the memorial page.

Use the theme controls to choose a visual style for the page. The memorial header can show the person's name, photograph, and life dates.

  • Obituary: Write a short life story, milestones, and the words you want visitors to remember.
  • Favourites: Share personal interests and favourite things that help visitors remember everyday details.
  • Timeline: Add meaningful dates and events from the person's life.
  • Gallery and Memories: Bring together photos, comments, and family memories where the page settings and permissions allow.
  • Events: Add details for a wake, burial, memorial service, or celebration of life.
Part 3

Invite Family and Share the Page

Give relatives a clear way to visit and contribute

Copy the memorial link or share it through WhatsApp or Facebook using the Share menu. For a limited audience, choose the Family and Friends privacy setting and share the link with the people you want to reach. The Manage Visitors area shows people who have accessed the page; it is not an invitation tool.

Memories and tribute features can help relatives contribute messages and recollections. Page access and settings determine which visitors can view or add content, and administrators can review and manage visitor activity.

Part 4

Keep the Page Accurate and Respectful

Review privacy, permissions, and practical details over time

Ask close relatives before posting personal photographs or sensitive details. Keep event dates and venue information current, and check the visibility setting again before sharing new content.

The administrator area includes controls for memorial details, page privacy, visitors, editors, and notifications. Use these controls to keep the page current and make sure the right people can access it.

If your family also wants a funeral livestream, the memorial administrator can request a quotation through the page. Streaming is a separate service and should be arranged with the team.
