We are pleased to provide Online Memorials to you and the families we serve. The current funerals entrusted to our firm are listed here. If you are unable to visit the Gorton-Menard Funeral Home, you can still be with the family in thought by signing the Online Guest Book, expressing your condolences or sharing your most memorable recollection about the deceased. You can also place a memorial donation or send a floral tribute or a sympathy card through our website.

While newspaper obituaries fill needs within the local community, our Online Memorials reach far beyond – locally, nationally, and even globally through the Internet. This service allows family, friends and acquaintances to obtain the information needed to send flowers, memorial contributions and private email to the family.

Whether your family is looking for a basic themed memorial with an obituary, guestbook and service times, or if you are more interested in an interactive full featured memorial, we have the solution already integrated for you.

First and foremost, our Online Memorials are permanent. We will not take them down after any length of time. Your video tributes are posted on our Online Memorials free of charge, and you can use any provider to create them. You may also embed unlimited videos posted to YouTube, or other video hosting services. Family, friends and visitors to the memorial can share stories about your loved one, directly on our Online Memorial. Dated stories will appear in the Life Timeline automatically. Family members can upload important documents to the memorial, including newspaper clippings, certificates of accomplishment, memorial programs, or anything else they would like to share. All family and friends are welcome to use this service as well.

Our new one-of-a-kind collaborative family tree allows family to build a complete family history, which automatically integrates with other Online Memorials and allows cross memorial navigation through the family tree.

Your loved one’s life timeline is auto-created from important dates in the memorial. Any uploaded photo, video, document or story which is dated will appear in the life timeline as well. This allows visitors to explore the Online Memorial chronologically through your loved one’s life. As always, the complete service schedule with times, addresses and map links are fully integrated into the Online Memorials.

The Guestbook is fully integrated with the Online Memorial, unique to each person. Family and friends can share thoughts and sympathy online.

Our newest feature to the Online Memorial system is the integration with CardSymplicity, which provides personalized sympathy cards to the family. The feature is fully integrated into the online memorials and allows visitors to send a sympathy card to the family c/o our funeral home, to the family address on file, or to a custom address.

And, our Online Memorials have built in security. You have the option of having all guestbook entries and visitor submitted photos, stories, documents and videos emailed to you or any other family member for approval. This means nothing has to be posted without your approval. You also have the option to edit or delete anything from the memorial which may be undesireable.

Our website also contains information about our caring staff, our services, and links to resources that will help you get through this difficult time. Please give us a call to see how we can help.

We have two full-time, licensed funeral directors available to meet with you to discuss each option you have in planning the appropriate service that best suits your needs.

We are able to meet with you in the comfort of your own home or at our funeral home to discuss your specific desires regarding what you would like in a service of remembrance.

We can be reached at any time 365 days a year by calling 401-821-7306.
