The Memorial Code has been established by leading organisations in order to provide basic principles and guidance in relation to the creation of memorial websites. It is expected that all memorial website providers should work within these guidelines to ensure that the rights and needs of the many vulnerable bereaved people are respected at all times.

Scope and Development

The Memorial Website code is regularly reviewed and updated where appropriate. It has been kept as simple as possible to keep it accessible; however additional Guidance Notes are created and published to assist in interpretation as and when required.

The Endorsing Organisations discuss any suggestions and amendments throughout the year in order to review membership, resolve any disputes and appoint a new Chair.

Current Chair: MuchLoved Charitable Trust

With your help we can ensure that the code will remain relevant and helpful to all.
