How online tributes work
An online tribute is a page on our website dedicated to someone who has died. It shares their name, their dates, a photograph and the words chosen by their family, along with details of the funeral service where the family would like these to be public.
Family and friends can visit the page at any time, from anywhere in the world, to read the tribute, leave a message of condolence and light a virtual candle. Every tribute and every message is read by our team before it appears, so each page stays a safe and respectful place.
If you would like help writing a tribute, choosing a photograph or making a change to an existing page, please call us on 0191 722 1263 or send us a message. You can also browse the tributes already on our website.
Questions about online tributes
Who can see an online tribute?
Tributes are public pages on our website, so family and friends can visit them from anywhere. Nothing appears until our team has read it, and we only publish a tribute when the family are happy for it to be shared.
Can family and friends leave messages?
Yes. Each tribute has a place to leave a message of condolence and to light a virtual candle. Messages are read by our team before they are shown on the page.
Can a tribute be changed or removed later?
Yes. If you would like to change the wording or the photograph, or would like a tribute taken down, call us on 0191 722 1263 or send us a message and we will sort it out for you.
What should I include in a tribute?
Most families share a photograph, the person’s dates, a few words about their life and the people they loved, and details of the funeral service if they would like these to be public. We are always glad to help with the wording.
