How to Share an Online Tribute

When creating an online memorial, social media post, or obituary, you can direct friends and family to make a gift in your loved one's name by sharing the website of the organization, such as the Villa Marie Claire site, you wish to benefit.

Below are some social media etiquette tips for announcing a loved one's death in the digital world:

Consider the timing:
Wait at least 24-48 hours before making an announcement on your social media channels, which will give you time to notify close relatives and family over the phone or in person. While social media can provide another way to grieve and memorialize your loved one, it is important to share the news in a more personal way first.

What to say:
It can be difficult to express grief during a time of loss — whether sudden or expected. There is no right or wrong way to say how you feel. Share positive memories you experienced together and direct people to an online tribute or memorial, if one exists.

Announce how you wish to commemorate your loved one:
