Do you display ads on Memorial pages?
Never.
Online-Tribute.com relies solely on the "activation fee" ($5 / month or $70 one-off) to cover our costs: hosting, customer service, developers... We don't display any ad on your page and won't ever do it.

Why do I have to pay - whereas other websites propose Memorials for free?
The websites proposing "free service" often rely on advertising or sell their consumer data.
They place ads on your Memorial page or use your data for commercial / marketing purposes.
Besides, they propose a "fake free service": limited features, maximum 5 photos in the gallery, no videos… You have to upgrade to a 'premium account' to use their service properly.
More importantly, they charge your contributors for various "widgets" when they posts: virtual flowers, candles, "lovekits", etc.
Online-Tribute.com is ad-free, every user is premium, everything is included: all the features, all the designs, with unlimited content.
We have to pay our developers to add new features, our designers to create new designs, our customer service agents - but also pay for hosting, photography rights, etc.
According to a study by the National Funeral Directors Association, the average cost of a funeral in the US was $7,848 in 2023. That is why we try to keep our fee ($5 / month or $70 one-off) as low as possible.

3-5 mins

Can I collect donations on my page?
Absolutely.
You can collect payments directly on your Memorial page - for a funeral fund or charity donations, for example.
Easy for you: manage your Memorial page and payments easily, all in 1 place.
Easy for your guests: they don't need to create any account - only need to fill their Credit Card info to proceed to payment.
There are small fees occurring for all online payments. We work hard to keep our fees very low:
- Credit card processing fee: 2.9% + 0.3$ for US
- Service fee: 2.0%
The average payment on our platform is $176. For a such a transaction, you will thus receive $176 minus $8.92 fees = $167.08 (fees = 5.1%)
Fees are different for each currency, find more details here or contact us
