The quick answer

FuneralPress offers separate creators for guest books, obituary pages and memorial galleries. Each currently displays a one-credit creation offer. Review the family information before publishing, then share the generated link with the intended audience.

Choose the tool for the purpose

  • Guest book: collect visitors’ condolence messages through a shared page.
  • Obituary page: publish an approved account of the deceased and the event details you choose to share.
  • Memorial gallery: create a shared collection of family-approved photographs.

Create a guest book

  1. Sign in and open the guest-book creator.
  2. Enter the deceased’s name and an optional cover message or photograph.
  3. Review the information and the one-credit creation offer shown by the tool.
  4. Create the page, copy its generated link and open that link to confirm you are sharing the right guest book.

Prepare an obituary page

Agree the text and event details with the family before publishing. Check names, dates, venue and the public contact. A public page should not contain private medical history, contact information or photographs that the family has not agreed to disclose. The creator currently shows a one-credit publication offer.

Create a memorial gallery

  1. Open the gallery creator while signed in.
  2. Enter a title, the deceased’s name and an optional description.
  3. Review the creation offer, create the gallery and continue in its editor.
  4. Add approved photographs, check captions and use the generated page link when sharing.

Understand the separate tools and charges

These digital page creators are distinct from paid design-file downloads and from Family Collection tribute links. A tribute collection link is a contribution workflow whose submissions the project owner reviews for a brochure. Do not tell relatives that a guest book gives them access to edit the family collection.

Keep copies of important memories

No lifetime hosting guarantee is made here. Keep original photos and a separate copy of the approved biography and other important text. Check the current service terms and contact support if you need help with a page. Previously described unlimited access should be understood only where an existing account’s legacy entitlement actually applies; it is not the current family-package offer.

Common questions

Is a guest book the same as a tribute collection link?

No. A guest book collects condolence messages for visitors to its page. Family Collection tribute links collect contributions that the owner can review for a brochure.

Are these pages guaranteed to stay online forever?

This guide makes no lifetime availability promise. Keep your own copies of important text and photos, and check the current service terms and support options.
