  • A Memories Family and friend member is any person who has a Memories account.

  • A Contributor is someone invited to both view and contribute to the memorial by adding memories, reactions, comments, and tributes.

  • An Administrator is someone invited by the memorial’s owner to manage it. Administrators can view and contribute to the memorial, change settings, edit and delete memories and comments, and remove members from the memorial.

  • An Owner is the person who owns a memorial. Owners have the same privileges as administrators but cannot be removed by an administrator.
