About Living Years

Living Years is a private Australian company with deep expertise in product innovation and social media networking. The team has produced an advertising-free, sophisticated bereavement care website with online Lifebook memorials including an online in-memoriam donation program. Also included is a comprehensive bereavement care industry listing and search function, to help the public make educated choices.

Listings are free for charities and businesses
Lifebooks are free to use on a two-week trial basis for individuals

Remarkably, until now there has not been a clear, single information point for this sector. Loaded with information, Living Years will become a key portal between the public, charities and the bereavement-care industry.

Our guiding principles:

Be respectful to the family and friends of the deceased
Be easy to use for non-technical users
Facilitate communication between users

Lifebooks

Lifebooks allow family and friends to remember and celebrate the life of a loved one in a way that has not been possible until now. A Lifebook is an online space where photos, thoughtful comments, stories, eulogies, videos and more, can be shared on a dedicated memorial homepage. As more people visit and share, the story becomes a rewarding, multi-faceted tribute.

Charity listings

Charity Listings allow Australian charities to be selected as a recipient for donations in lieu of flowers at the time of a funeral or as ongoing in-memoriam donations. Living Years provides the first in-memoriam donation portal for the charity sector. Living Years has also become major supporter of several selected charities through cause-related marketing programs. Charities interested in boosting their donations are encouraged to contact Living Years.

Creating a Lifebook

Creating a Lifebook allows you to pay your respects from anywhere in the world at any time, day or night. The interactivity and long-term availability goes well beyond the traditional obituary or funeral announcement in a newspaper. Living Years also promotes donations to the charity of the family's choice.

Industry listings

Industry listings cover all services related to bereavement-care. Our education section offers guidance and advice to the bereaved.

Businesses

Businesses with relevant products and services are able to list their company details including a link to their website on a complimentary, no obligation basis. Living Years offers these businesses a high volume of unique and highly qualified visitors actively searching for products and services.
