It looks really nice. Small comment: On the main page for a memorial, when the box pops up asking if I know the person, it says "show your support". I found that phrasing a little odd, less heartfelt than I'd expect. I'd change it to 'show your love'.

#13"They’ll develop their business model over time".
That would be a little scary to me as an investor.

#14Could they not have gotten a better domain? Also, the Bad Religion song lyrics are beating them in search results.
Great concept, good execution.

#15I really like this idea and execution. Really nice work! I think a good feature to add would be some sort of kiosk mode that could be used during a wake or reception by just putting a web browser on one of your pages and it would rotate through photos, guestbook entries, etc. like a slide show but would drop in to the guestbook with a mouse click and go back to the slideshow after the page went idle for a while. Anot…
I agree with all of these suggestions. The Kiosk mode strikes me as particularly creative and insightful. There's a startup that let's people create a wedding guestbook with video snips people record on a laptop, that'd be an awesome thing, people teliing stories about the deceased into a camera and aggregating them into a video.

So would the fact that they have (sensible) ethical issues about extracting money from grieving relatives.

"Love" might be a little too strong for people who were only marginally connected to the deceased.

#18I like Gary Vaderchuck's take on this: everything we do today will be recorded for the benefits of our grandkids. Soon enough, this will be essentially non-optional. Act accordingly.
This is a sea change in just the last few years, too -- I lost everything I wrote in college with the exception of one paper, but now with Dropbox I'm likely to never lose anything I create ever again.
In a few decades I'll probably need a personal archivist to sift through for the good bits and give my grandkids something with a narrative to it.

#20I don't see why my loved ones need to be on the internet. If they have to be, the main value is long-term-ness. Whatever info/pictures I put out there, I'd likely want that to still be there in 10, 20, 50 years. Nobody has done that type of long-termness well, so far, that I know off. What I might want to put online is their digital archive: the stuff they chose to share online while alive, archived for a long time.
They don't need to be, but people often wish to do something to memorialize people who've died, and this approach is in many ways better than e.g. putting up a slab of stone with their name on it, or publishing a notice in a newspaper.
