Midcounties Co-operative launch online memorial site to remember loved ones

The Midcounties Co-operative has launched Remembered Forever www.rememberedforever.co.uk , an online memorial site to help families and friends share memories and celebrate the life of loved ones.

Accessible and easy to use, Remembered Forever enables family and friends to upload high quality images and text, whilst using a range of different media, including video and audio to post personal tributes and dedications through the Midcounties remembrance website.

All dedicated pages of memorials are based on the internet; giving friends and family from around the world the opportunity to view dedications 24 hours a day, adding their own thoughts and comments as they wish. An additional benefit of the online service is the assurance that memorial details and all materials supplied are handled with the utmost care and respect.

Simon Fisher, Group General Manager at Midcounties Co-operative Funeral Group said: "We understand that recently bereaved family and friends visiting our homepage will be experiencing a sense of great loss and upset. 

"Remembered Forever has been launched to help ease the pain of bereavement. It enables families to create a safe and secure memorial page and because it is based online it can be accessed at anytime from anywhere in the world."

He adds: "We wanted to create a dedication service that brings families and friends together to share their memories of a loved one when perhaps they would not have had the opportunity to do so because they live so far apart from each other."
