Living tributes
A living tribute: honor them while they are here
Some words should not wait. A living tribute is a MyMemorium page for someone who is still with us, where family and friends share the stories, photos, and thank-yous that the person can read and treasure now.
When families create one
Occasions for a living tribute
Retirements and anniversaries
Gather messages from colleagues, students, or a congregation, or celebrate fifty years of marriage with photos from every decade.
A difficult diagnosis
Give someone in hospice or facing serious illness the comfort of reading what they mean to the people who love them.
Mentors and heroes
Thank a coach, teacher, first responder, or advocate for a lifetime of service while they can hear it.
Putting it together
How to create a living tribute
- 1
Start the page as a living tribute
Choose “Living tribute” as the memorial type. The page will say “A living tribute to” instead of “In loving memory of.”
- 2
Add a few photos and a short introduction
Write who they are and why you are celebrating them. A handful of photos is plenty to get started.
- 3
Decide who can see it
Keep it private or unlisted while it is a surprise, then open it up when you are ready to share.
- 4
Invite everyone to contribute
Send the link or QR card to family, friends, and colleagues so they can add messages, stories, and photos. You can approve each one first.
A living tribute can stay a celebration for years. If the time comes, the same page can become their memorial: change the memorial type in the editor and every story already shared stays in place. Living tributes are included with every MyMemorium plan.
Say it while they can hear it
