This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

This website takes advantage of the bereaved. It is an unmonitored setting that takes credit card payments, yet issues error messages for any problem with content posting or contact messages. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they say "complaint is not within their scope of service". Turns out the company operates out of the Cayman Islands as "LIFESTAGEMEDIA". They have a wedding website as well as a memorial website.

If this site originated in ARIZONA, I will file a complaint with the AZ Attorney General's Office.
The site has crashed yet again as of 04-19-18 ---- really..?
This is unacceptable for any type of company, organization,
LLC, or what have you.

I do hope you all BACK-UP your PC's... at least you will have a
"go back to" start date.

Ok all...I finally tracked down Henry Chamberlain (again.)
It would appear as though LIFESTAGEMEDIA LLC is no longer in operation and Mr. Chamberlain
has moved on to brideclick.net as Chairman. I have since emailed Mr. Chamberlain at: henry@brideclick.net.

brideclick.net
135 East 57th Street
New York, NY 10022
phone #: 646.736.3931

verified by: http://variety.com/2017/digital/news/mode-media-bankruptcy-acquired-brideclick-glam-1202468816. Read the entire story as the story refers to Mr. Chamberlain as coming from LIFESTAGEMEDIA as Chairman.

My previous email sent to Mr. Chamberlain @ LIFESTAGEMEDIA did not go thru, so I performed some additional investigative work. Hope this latest email sticks --- I will keep you posted.

You should have all received a message from me that this site is up again... for how long.. who knows.
I managed to track down a one HENRY CHAMBERLAIN -- now with some other mysterious company
brideclick.net -- think that is what this guy does: opens all these website offering type pages and makes millions. We need to band together and formalize a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT if this type of "lack of service" continues.

It is obvious to me, Mr. Chamberlain does not have a big enough server to store all of our data and has refused to take any pro-active steps in correcting the on-going issues of this site crashing and burning about 3x a year. I have tried to download pics and can no longer attach pics. WHAT A RIP OFF.

Going to try an old school method to resolve my pic attachment issues ---
and I will let you all know how it pans out.

GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS YOU ALL and your dearly departed.
We will get thru this!

I´ve created a memory of page for my father in 2007, changed my mind and deleted it by that time.
In 2017, they put the page online again; but my family don´t want the page online anymore.
Since we are talking of 11 years later, I don´t have the password anymore!
I´ve written them many times and didnt get at least ONE answer.
I just want my account to be deleted, could you please answer me this time or help this email finds the person who can help to? I am from Brazil, and I´m trying to find my rights here, but everything is more complicated since I am in another country. I only know that they don´t have my permission to keep my data online!

I have a memorial site for my cousin on the website, and recently there have been some spam 'candles' lit. I no longer have access to delete the spam candles. Does anyone else have this issue? I have tried contacting them, resetting password, no luck. How have you all contacted someone from the site? Any info you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My mothers page is still up and running - however, my grandmothers page I had since 2007 is no longer on the website, it's like it just disappeared. All those years of memories gone! What a joke - these folks take advantage of people who are vulnerable and looking for a why to express there love and sadness for a loved one that has passed.

I just went to my beloved granddaughters memorial to find out its got an error message...then Im reading all this above stuff...out 8 year old granddaughter Kira died in an accident on Mothers Day 2008. Our whole family was devastated! I found MEMORY-OF.COM and started making a memorial website starting in Nov. 2008. I spent months making this site, downloading pictures and telling stories...family and friends added memories and pictures over time...lighting candles for Kiras Birthday and Holidays...the dates of her Birth and Death...putting this memorial was therapeutic and I shed many tears while putting this together for months and years...and now its all gone? Forget the pittance of money spent to have this 'LIFETIME MEMORIAL'!ITS LIKE LOSING MY GRANDDAUGHTER ALL OVER AGAIN!I AM CRUSHED AND SO SO BROKENHEARTED...KIRA LENORE JEFFERSON'S BROKENHEARTED GRAMMY AND GRAMMY :(

I think if you’re willing to get it together there would be a bunch of people to back this up. I for one would be. I know, like many others, spent months putting my sons site together and go there when I need to and every month on the 20th to light a candle. But with the site being down I have lost that little bit of peace I get to let my feelings out to him. It’s heart breaking. 🥵💔

I’m feeling so upset, I trusted this site to take care of the few memories of my baby boy that I lost 16yrs ago and return to religiously on his birthday and special occasions, including a handful of photos, msgs from family and friends. Where has our deeply precious and personal story disappeared too. This can’t be right. Can anybody help.

I am. This is Horrible. I noticed the issue the first time last year because every year between Father’s Day and Christmas I go on my son site quite often. Last year it was unavailable during his death date and his birthday last year. Father’s Day this year? Same thing the website was up for a couple of months to beginning of this year and it’s totally gone except for the homepage which says “check back in a few days” it’s been that way for months. I just can’t imagine someone taking money for this type of an result.

His personal Facebook page allows comments and I secured a phone number for him that appears to be working -- [protected]. I left messages on both and suggest everyone do so as well. Yes, I will gladly join a class action suit. I took great solace in regularly visiting my wife's memorial page and sharing it with friends who ask about her.
