Try to brainstorm with others who knew the deceased when he or she is still alive. These are some of our suggestions and ideas:
Go to the library or bookstore to look at the ‘autobiography’ section of famous people. You can identify keywords found in this autobiography that reflects the interest, ability and experience of the deceased.
Learn to think back who is the deceased’s admired person, respected figure, idolised star or role model. The deceased very likely share similarities with these imaginery or real people.
Attended a funeral before? Remember any meaningful eulogies or uplifting funeral poems filled with words of wisdom? If sentences like ‘reputations of many brave should not be imperiled in the mouth of single individual’ reflect the moral courage of the deceased, you can add it in to make the content more interesting
How the deceased normally expressed himself or herself? These words can be the best way to memorialise your departed loved ones. Writing a memorial is not simply a sad affair. You can rejoice in the opportunity of being able to meet a wonderful person like the deceased in this lifetime who could have share his love with the grandchildren, pets or the bicycle he has cherished and kept in the garage for the last 50 years!
If it’s hard to talk about the deceased, why not express your feelings on how you have say goodbye with a smile to the deceased. The deceased may have gone but your heart with him or her lives forever. You can read other online memorials to see which one captures your attention as you can’t help but to finish reading it. This can give you an inspiration to write a great e-memorial yourself.

Buddhistspace.com has been so helpful to me and it is a great comfort to our
family to have a way to celebrate the loss of our loved ones... Please pass along my thanks to your team. Whoever designed this service must have a great deal of compassion. When a loved one dies, you want to have a way to share their life with others. The average person does not know how to design a website. It would have been frustrating for me to try to design my own website and it wouldn't have had half the functionality that buddhistspace.com has.
