Abstract

Drawing on the experience of running the Virtual Memorial Garden web site, this paper looks at some of the reasons why Internet memorials appeal to the thousands of people who have used the service it provides. Also touched on are the wider, social effects that this kind of use of the Internet may have in the future.
