FREE The idea of this virtual memorial site is to allow all of us to record free uk death records, personal memories of someone special to us. It also enables a simple way to initiate a family history and over a period of time build a family tree. By linking into this virtual memorial the characters and personalities of our ancestors are instantly accessible to family and friends around the world, similar in concept to a traditional newspaper, death notice or obituary. Grandad and Grandma are no longer just names in the past, but characters with personalities, whom future generations will be able to read about. When we were much more community orientated it was easy to visit family burial plots in the local churchyard and piece together family history. Family plots linked relatives in close unity. Today in our global society, families are dispersed and these links have gone. Peoplestribute.co.uk hopes to revive the idea of the family burial plot on line by recording virtual tributes. The virtual tribute can be written in several formats Chronological order i.e. life story approach beginning with place and date of birth education occupation/marriage family membership of professional/charitable organizations travelling achievements latter years who survives Reverse chronological order working backwards from death, around Around the person's major passions, commitments illustrated with anecdotes and stories. Whichever format you decide to write a tribute also bear in mind the following ten points: Who will read it, family/friends Whilst being honest are there certain issues to avoid Be factual, check places, names and dates Avoid personal opinions Draw attention to their commitments, passions, interests, likes and dislikes Describe their happy times Describe their challenging times - how did they cope What did you really like about them Say something (if appropriate) you would like to say to them if they were still with you How would they like to be remembered It helps that we do not forget those taken from us; that we express our sorrow as well as celebrating their life with our positive virtual memorials of them.
