    Legacy.com - Resource For Obituaries & Guest Books

    Dying is just another part of life, and, as the Internet has taken place in every aspect of ours, it shouldn’t be surprising that it also took part in something about our deaths. Legacy deals primarily with obituaries and guest books, for relatives to pay some kind of a tribute to their dearly departed.

    The site is linked with various newspapers and funeral homes, in order to provide the most complete obituary online possible. The site offers various features for those interested in paying their tributes to others, known, or unknown, whether it is by a known tragedy, such as the attack on the World Trade Center or the shooting at Virginia Tech, among others, or celebrities. The site also offers condolence gifts, flowers, charities, funeral home directories, and more. The site is completely free to browse by, with no registration required, nor possible.

    Legacy.com In their own words

    “Legacy.com is the leading provider of online obituary solutions for the newspaper industry. Legacy.com enhances obituaries with guest books, funeral home information, and florist links, providing a community-oriented, content-rich solution for more than 400 newspapers. Visited by more than 7 million users each month, Legacy.com provides links to obituaries published by the company’s network of newspaper affiliates. Through this network, Legacy.com posts obituaries and Guest Books for one in two people who die in the U.S. each day. Legacy.com also publishes death notices submitted by funeral homes in markets where it does not work with the local newspaper. Legacy.com’s various services contribute to the company’s mission to use new media technology in expanding ways to celebrate people’s lives.”

    Why Legacy.com might be a killer

    This site may prove to offer a useful service to all of those interested in paying a tribute to anyone they feel like, whether it is a relative, a friend, or even someone they hadn’t even met. The site is well organized and has a sober appearance, which fits perfectly with what the site is about. Although it may sound insensitive, people die everyday, so the market this site targets is huge and will never extinguish.

    Some questions about Legacy.com

    Will people switch from looking obituaries from newspapers and news to looking for obituaries on the Internet? Shouldn’t an internal search engine be set up, in order for people to find a specific obituary quickly?
