The process is simple. Click the following link and register to use ODAON. (We require this information for page safety, only you or people you give access to can alter or update information) Thereafter, you will be sent a Registration Confirmation email. Click on the link from the email and set up a Username and Password to allow access to the Members Area, where you will be able to create a dedicated page.
Announcements are easy to create. You can upload an initial announcement with the obituary details and picture of the deceased. At this stage you can also add other family members to receive notifications of any messages left on the page. Thereafter, and when known, you can add the funeral arrangements, and the location will be automatically linked to Google Maps.

Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are great for informing your immediate circle of friends of a death, but can be restrictive to announce to a wider audience due to privacy settings. Your friends and extended family could share what you write, but given the sensitive and personal nature of this type of post, it is difficult to do so. An ODAON Announcement is tactfully better to share and will be the most effective way to "spread the word", ensuring as many people as possible will know of the passing of a loved one. The Announcement will also allow people who knew the deceased the opportunity to pass on their messages of love, support and condolence to the family.
One dedicated page to take all the messages of support and comfort.
One dedicated page to provide and update the funeral arrangements.
One page which can be an everlasting tribute to a loved one.
