It is an opportunity to remember someone special. This information can be accessed from anywhere in the world and allows families to come together and remember their loved ones who passed away. This feature is free of charge. You can create several types of Memorials (Individual, Family and Groups). We ask you to search for existing Memorials to ensure you are not replicating existing ones.

Khoolood offers different ways to invite family and friends to visit the different Memorials. Once you have created a Memorial and made it public, you may invite your friends and family to visit and pay tribute to your loved one, by clicking on the button. The system will give you to different options (email, share on social media, and friends list…) where you can send invitations for family and friends to view what you have created and contribute to the Memorial.

Khoolood is a public site, anyone has access to it, but users have to register in order to perform any action on the site like leaving a message, lighting a candle and placing a flower. So it is completely up to you to control who can access your memorials; you can make it viewable to “Public”, which allows everyone to view and pay their respects on the memorial. You can limit it to just “Friends/Family”, which will only allow members who are connected to you to view the memorial. You can choose to make the memorial “Private” which will only allow the memorial sponsor to view it.

There are three privacy settings for your memorials that will distinguish who and who cannot view your memorials and its contents. These three privacy types are: “Public”, “Friends\Family” and “Private”. If you set your memorial to “Private”, it will only allow the sponsor of the memorial to view it and nobody else.

Or you can go to your account, and change the status of your memorial to private and accordingly no one will be able to see it anymore. Your Memorial will not be removed from Khoolood, because if you decide one day to share it again with people, you will not need to create it again.
