We invite you to use Australian Lives as a way of honouring the lives of those people in your network who have passed away. Our site is an opportunity to create a permanent memorial which goes beyond a eulogy, an epitaph or comments in a death notice. It is an opportunity to make sure that the life of your loved one is recorded and becomes a part of our history. Because it is accessible online it can be easily shared and referred to, and our search facility enables users to view life stories in context with members of other families, friends, or alongside people with the same dates of birth and death or from similar locations.
