Legacy.com is a website that allows visitors to build webpage memorials for loved ones who have passed away. The homepage features death notices of recently deceased celebrities, musicians, athletes, and other notable people. The homepage also lets visitors search for obituaries by person and by newspaper, and it provides a grief and loss section with resources for those who are dealing with the death of a loved one.

The ‘Celebrate a Life’ section provides information about planning a funeral, placing an obituary, and creating an online memorial. This section also lets visitors browse through memorial websites and online guest books. Clicking on ‘Living Legacy’ redirects the visitor to an area of the site where they can sign up for a paid membership and create an online memorial for a loved one. The site provides members with several memorial page design options and features, including the ability to add photographs, audio, video, a timeline, a guest book, a journal, and a link to related charities. Online memorials are viewable by anyone who visits the site.

The ‘Remember’ section lets visitors explore and remember the lives and events that have impacted the community. This section deals with large scale disasters, such as airline crashes, and with public tragedies, such as 911 and the Iraq war.

The ‘Connect’ section lets members interact and help each other through the Legacy Connect message boards, and provides articles written by health professionals and grief counselors. Registration is required for message board participation. Registration is free and allows members to create a brief profile.

The ‘Explore’ section lets visitors search for death records from the Social Security Death Index and it provides a link to ObitMessenger, a paid service that notifies the subscriber by email of recent obituaries that match their criteria.

The site’s Gift Shop can be accessed by clicking the ‘Gift Shop’ link at the bottom of any page. The Gift Shop carries a selection of photo books, care baskets, floral decorations, and memorial jewelry.
