Death is often something people don’t like to talk about. So when someone close to us dies, we find ourselves confused and lost. Life becomes surreal, clouded with grief and indecision. That’s why absentFriends.com was created. We saw a real need for somewhere to go for people who have lost a loved one.
absentFriends.com is the first worldwide website of its kind designed to bring together grieving families and friends, and local funeral directors and supporting industries. absentFriends.com provides information about coping with, and strategies for people dealing with grief.
We are here to support you by helping in the following ways:
- Build a FREE memorial site as a tribute to your friend or loved one. Add photos, videos, music, timelines, tributes and virtual flowers.

- Browse and access information about coping with grief and strategies for people dealing with grief.
- Interact with others via online forums in our Community Support section
- Find guidance on organising funerals, including writing obituaries, funeral plan choices, legal and official considerations, who needs to be notified etc. You can also find a local Funeral Director here.
