Community Guidelines
These guidelines help keep Memorial Garden calm, respectful, and safe for families, contributors, and visitors.
Last updated: 13 May 2026
1. The spirit of the community
Memorial Garden is not a social media feed. It is a place for remembrance. Every contribution should protect the dignity of the person being remembered and the wellbeing of those who loved them.
2. How to contribute well
- Write as if the person's family may read your words on a difficult day.
- Share memories, gratitude, comfort, lessons, and condolences rather than arguments or accusations.
- Respect the memorial owner's privacy settings and moderation decisions.
- Avoid graphic details, speculation, gossip, blame, or private family disputes.
- Do not use Memorial Garden to harass, shame, exploit, scam, advertise to, or pressure grieving people.
- Only upload media you have permission to share.
- Report concerns through the report or contact routes instead of escalating conflict publicly.
3. Writing a tribute
- A short sincere message is enough.
- Mention a kind memory, a quality you admired, or what the person meant to you.
- If you are unsure what to say, keep it simple and respectful.
- Do not include private contact details, addresses, or sensitive details about living people.
4. Family control
Memorial owners and co-managers may require tribute approval before publication, remove contributions, disable tributes, or restrict visibility. These controls exist to protect families and the tone of each memorial.
5. Reporting concerns
If you see something that feels abusive, fake, private, unlawful, infringing, graphic, hateful, or inappropriate, please report it. We may review the content, contact relevant parties, restrict visibility, or remove content while a concern is assessed.
