This survey was created for your convenience. The purpose of this survey is to help you remember details about the loved one who has passed away. This survey can also be used by a person who is facing imminent death due to long-term disease and who wants to plan his/her own tribute. Please ignore the questions that you feel are irrelevant and add your own questions to make as complete a living memory of your loved one as possible. The final tribute that you will create could be used by future generations to know, remember and appreciate the diseased person and create fond memories. Please ask all relatives and friends from around the world to add comments at the end of your tribute page so the tribute can become a living memorial.
