I recently created a website, RIP.scot, which is Scotland's first website for honouring the memory of those who have passed, and it is entirely free for funeral directors to use.
I believe it is important for us as a country to have an easily accessible space where we can remember and support each other during difficult times, going beyond Facebook posts often used by funeral directors.
Those we've lost deserve more than just a Facebook post to honour and commemorate their lives.

Brilliant idea

Had similar thoughts for a while, glad someone got off their arse and did it, props to you.
Sounds like a good way to monetise grief, a bit like those people who stole Scrooge’s bedding.
Good idea.
rip.ie has been a thing in Ireland for years.

Now they can be a post on your website. So much better.

Can I put in a plea not to use the crap American euphemism “passed”. People die. They have died and are dead. Passed is when someone you know goes by on the other side of the street. Other than that, good luck with your project.
This is a brilliant idea!
Give it enough time and this is what Facebook will be for.
[rip.ie](http://rip.ie) is a death notices website in Ireland it is ridiculously popular.
