The virtual cemetery offered by Lapida.one provides an innovative and cost-effective solution to memorialization services. It offers families and funeral directors a comprehensive platform that is easy to use and more cost effective than traditional cemetery services. It also provides a convenient way to pay respects to the deceased by live streaming services. It allows families to create a memorial page for their loved one, store memories, share stories, and leave messages of condolence. It also allows them to watch the memorial service in real time, and share the page with their family and friends, so they can add their own memories and tributes. Additionally, it offers a wide variety of other features, such as a memorial wall, virtual flowers, a condolence book, and a special memorial candle that you can light in honor of your loved one.
