3. Would you recommend online memorials to others who have experienced loss?

4. Do you or your close ones visit this site often? How often?

5. What are the ways that you think people would benefit from using this or other such sites?

6. If you were to tell others about this site, what would you recommend most and how would you advise them to use it?

7. What are the kinds of issues that you think should be included in online memorials – what makes such a memorial memorable as a way to remember the person?

8. Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
