Any recs. for Condolences Website?

Options
A good friend died this weekend and I am trying to find a website that will let his family create an online condolences site where they can celebrate his life and let his friends leave their comments.

I know they could use facebook but it is cumbersome and we thought that there might be an alternative.

Any ideas?

    Facebook is the one most people will know of.
    Never Knowingly Understood.

    Had a look at the Google results but none seemed much good...I think we may set up a Facebook Group for him.

    I think Facebook would be your best bet, everyone knows face book, if there is a different web page yu would have inform everyone of the site address.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.

    I would log in each week and copy and paste it, and save it in case

    You could have facebook as well, though some people may not use it
