About Us | Memorial Matters

Dear visitor,

Memorial Matters was founded in 2009 as a new way of celebrating and paying tribute to loved ones on-line. This site allows a person to simply and easily create a memorial website allowing friends and family around the world to share photos, memories, stories etc., as well as send virtual flowers and light virtual candles for remembrance. There is no advertising on this site, so we charge a small hosting fee to cover site maintenance, development and administration costs.

If you are visiting this site in a time of sorrow or bereavement, then we reach out to you with our greatest respect. We hope that by creating an on-line memorial website for your loved one, Memorial Matters can help you to keep your relatives’ and friends’ memories living for today’s circle and for future generations to enjoy.

Often to-day, there does not exist an actual place where we can physically go to remember our loved ones. And even if there is such a place, the distances involved to get there may be many, many miles away, or even in another country. Therefore Memorial Matters provides a unique site on the World Wide Web that can be easily visited anytime from anywhere.

Yours sincerely, The Team at Memorial Matters Inc.
720 King Street West, Suite # 420 Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5V 3S5
