The death of a loved one is a traumatic time. There are funeral arrangements to be made and family and friends to be contacted. You may wish to inform people of the time, date and place of the funeral service and a memorial service.  Many people will want to make a tribute to the one who has passed on – and share some words of commiseration with the loved one’s family.

Here at mylastemail.com we offer you the most efficient and effective way of doing all that – by harnessing the power of the internet.

By using our online obituary service you can reach friends and family around the world: tell them of the sad event and of the arrangements you have made. The obituary can be as simple or elaborate as you wish: from a short message in words, to one with a photograph or even three photographs and a video clip lasting up to ten minutes.

You can also open an online Book of Condolence which will allow people from around the world to enter their own tribute or message of sympathy of up to 100 words. Friends and family may be spread all around the world but they can still share their feelings of loss, and the cherished memories of someone who was dear to them, by contributing to the Book of Condolence.

Unlike local or national newspapers which offer expensive text messages of just a few dozen words at most, which appear for just a day, an obituary at mylastemail.com will be visible all around the world and will appear online for at least one month. Our cheapest plan offers you a text-only obituary of up to 200 words which will appear online for a month – accessible around the world – for just £4.97. For only £14.97 you can choose an online obituary lasting a month with up to 300 words of text, three photographs and a video clip. That’s a service no newspaper can match.

The maximum length of time term we offer for an Online Obituary is one year but at the end of your subscription period you can renew your subscription and have the obituary run online for as many times as you wish.

All you need to do is decide what sort of obituary you want – do you want to include a photograph or video clip for example – how long you want it to appear for, and if you would like to open an online Book of Condolence. Once you have decided, just click on the box next to the service which you require.

If you have the material for the obituary already prepared to upload to our website – text, photographs or video clip – then, once you have paid for the plan you have chosen, just follow the instructions and then click the PUBLISH button. Your material will then be published on to our website and be available to be seen around the world. Once it is published it cannot be altered – so please make sure that you have checked the details and everything is correct and as you would like it to appear, before selecting PUBLISH.

If you want to take some time to think about creating the material for the obituary before publishing it – that’s no problem. Just select and pay for your plan and then click on SAVE AS DRAFT. The material you upload to us will be saved but not published on the website. You can use your password to log on to mylastemail.com and make any alterations you like to the material until you are completely satisfied with it and only then click PUBLISH. You can take as much time as you like but please remember that if, for example, you choose a subscription lasting a month that period starts from the moment when you open and pay for your plan not when the material is published.
