of its website (http://www.ilasting.com) which enables users to create online

    "Although the memorials themselves are about the departed, it's not about
death; it's really about celebrating life through memories," said Anthony
Doctolero, founder of iLasting. "Everything we do is focused on providing the
best place to create online memorials for loved ones who have passed away."
    With an increasing number of people turning to the Internet to memorialize
loved ones, iLasting offers an array of features to help users create an
online memorial that best suits their needs.
    "I made a memorial website for my twin sons who passed away a year ago and
it has been very helpful for my family to have an emotional outlet like this,"
said Chrissy Fischbach.
    While similar sites monetize their online memorials with advertisements,
iLasting has differentiated its service by not including third-party ads on
its memorial sites. iLasting will offer its basic features for free and users
looking for more enhanced features will have the option to sign up for the
premium service through a one-time nominal fee. For more information on
