I have used this inept website since my daughter died at age 17 in September 2007. Its been a rollercoaster ever since with In-Memory-Of.com. I paid the 'FOREVER' subscription and posted 14 years of photos, candles and deep grief stricken writings. I considered it a 'place I could go to be with her' All of a sudden, on Fathers Day 2021, the page posted the 'temporarily unavailable message and instruction to check back soon' that was FOUR months ago... I love you, Patrice. XO -Dad

How can you do this and feel good about yourself. You should be ashamed. Taking advantage of people when they lost their loved ones. You SUCK. We lost all our memories and a place to go. You could have gave us notice to save information. Should have built my own site! I hope this follows you. I signed up in 2010 and my family has depending on this site. You took this away from us!

Tip for consumers:
Do not use!

My daughter was born still in 2009. It had recordings of her heart beat and everything. It's all gone. No notice! Apparently, it's been about quite awhile by the other reviews. It was a lifetime membership!

My brother passed away 2007 and this was a site for friends, Family and his children to write or light a Candle for him. Now we can't. If they shut down or something they should have sent an email to everyone for purchased a lifetime for this site. So sad. We lost all those photos and messages.

I bought the life time for almost $100 in 2007. For the last couple of years unknown visitors write on the candle page some times in a foreign language, some times just jibberish. Yesterday they posted on the about page. I go in and delete these but before you can delete you need to put in the verification code several times, even though it's correct every time, before I am allowed into the site. Don't buy here it's a mockery to your loved one. I'm sure they want me to leave the site. And you can no longer attach pictures, even though there is a place to download. Find a site that will treat your memory with respect.

Purchased lifetime access in 2005 & the site is no longer available. We had pictures and so many messages from family and friends. My brother was cremated so coming to the site was our way to mourn and visit I'm so upset about this and haven't mentioned this to my mother she really loved it and helped her looking at the pics and messages. I hope there was a a lawsuit going on this is so wrong!

I had a membership for my mother and sister and then my daughters celebration of life page. Two websites with lifetime memberships. It's all gone. I checked everyday day for a year. It never ever came back. It has now been a couple of years.
I am so sorry to all the loved ones who just lost everything.
It breaks my heart. There were so many nice Angelfamiliesonline friends that I met. We would all add candles to uplift each other and remember special days. It is all gone.
Thankfully we exchanged Facebook pages so, we keep in touch there now.

Tip for consumers:
I wouldn’t count on them coming back online. It’s been years now. It’s sucks it really does. I will never do lifetime memberships again.

Products used:
I created a memory-of.com and a celebration-of.com site. I got lifetime memberships.
When the sites existed they were great til I had to hunt down the website manager. My husband found the owner through the actual url.
It’s sad I even ever had to do that.
Now I just quit trying. So so many people lost their sites, years of photos and candles and grieving messages.

After my daughter, Dakota Marie Bauer, passed away at 16 months; I paid for and spent months creating a memorial site for her on memory-of.com (the forever site). I used many personal photos, poems from friends and family, and several graphics to design a place where friends, family, and strangers could come and share memories of, leave loving thoughts for, or get to know Dakota.

This period of my life was flooded with the worst pain, suffering, and sorrow that a person could imagine. I would sit a the computer with silent tears rolling down my face most of the time. Occasionally I would wail, unable to recognize the sounds that ripped through my body, and at times a faint smile would cross my face as I watched a video of my beautiful, giggling, baby girl. www.memory-of.com/dakota-marie-bauer would ensure my fear of my child being forgotten would never come true.

Though Dakota's journey was cut short on September 15,2005, she had a long list of triumphs. She arrived at 27 weeks gestation, weighing just 1lb 8oz. She fit in the palm of a hand. Surviving birth was just the beginning for Dakota Marie Bauer.

Once the site was live it received traffic and many, many people left comments and messages. Suddenly in my loneliness and sorrow, I felt a bit of comfort as I was no longer suffering alone. I found a community of parents who experienced the same heart-wrenching sorrow I had and we were united in our grief and support of each other. Close friendships were built through the grief.

Then...Poof.

Memory-of.com was gone. I lost site fees, labor hours, irreplaceable mementos, photos, poems, personal connections, support system, community, friendships, and the reassurance that my daughter's memory would live on forever.

Grief upon grief.

Heap on the grief.

Who knows how many people have been impacted by this.

My entire family used this website for my father who passed away suddenly in 2005, we purchased the life time subscription and now the website is down with no information posted other than to "check back later"

How can this website be so insensitive to the people who purchased? - they've already made money off of the grief of numerous families.

I honestly hope the creator of this website sees this and has a terrible day, as was I when i needed to see my dad and all of the nice things my family has wrote about him since.

Is there any way can sue the creator of this website?

Tip for consumers:
dont fall for schemes trying to make money off of your grief, it's easy enough to create your own memorial website now with all of the same features that memory-of.com had.

My daughter Rebecca passed away in 1997 and in the early 2000's I came upon a memorial website called "memory-of.com". I paid for the FOREVER subscription and I have posted hundreds of photos, shared my grief in writing, poems and have shared precious memories. I have lit many candles and I have considered Memory-of a place I could go to spend time with her and recall the memories that I have with her. I spent years building this website in my baby girl's memory. For the last 6 months+ I have not been able to access her memorial site, it is gone. Just gone. I am totally devastated to say the least. The website helped me so much that I purchased another memory-of site for my father who passed away in 2002. Mom passed away in 2007 and I decided to combine both of my parents' memorial into one site. I have lost all that content as well! I am hurt. I feel that I am suffering their losses all over again! I want my baby's site back! I want my parents site back! I want the CONTENT of them both!

In 2005 I purchased a webpage called celebration-of, owned and operated by the same people from memory-of, for my son who was 2 at the time. I have spent 16 years building this website, updating it every month with memories and pictures for him to have for his lifetime and for him to share with his children. I have lost that website as well. What do I need to do to get into contact with these people? I want all of MY CONTENT that is on these websites! I have paid the money in full for FOREVER webpages! It was advertised as a lifetime memorial/celebration but it has been taken away from me. I am devastated over this. What can I do to get this back?

This site mysteriously shut down and I thought I lost access to all the photos and memories of my mother and my sister who had passed away. Luckily, I was able to find a website that archives some pages and it may be able to help you too. The site is called "wayback machine" and they archive websites. If you need assistance using it please email me at *******@gmail.com. I would be happy to walk you through the steps and hopefully help a few people. This company has stolen money but hopefully I will be able to help you find some of the memories and photos. Best of luck, John.

I created a lifetime member ship for my mom and grandmother in 2001 and 2004 and have not been able to pay any tributes. You people are heartless, I had so many tributes and photos on there and you idiots didn't even care to inform us you were shutting the website down.

I purchased a lifetime membership in memory of my son in 2003. I have uploaded many pictures videos poems and countless candles have been lit with condolences. These are treasured memories that I cannot access. I had no clue that it would be taken away. I was promised a lifetime membership. Can someone help?

I had two lifetime memberships ~ one for my brother and one for my sister. All their photos, memorial words from friends and loved ones, tributes and messages from people over the years are gone. Would be nice to be able to get all those pictures back.

Tip for consumers:
If the website was working ~ I would say backup your photos and copy of website. Since they are non operational, find a reliable website for memories.
