Legacy.com
Legacy.com is
the convenient on-line service that uses the Internet
to provide timely, detailed notification to family,
friends, and acquaintances in their time of loss. Legacy.com
also provides a unique opportunity to publish full-length
obituaries that serve as lasting memorials for years
to come.
Legacy.com is dedicated to the belief that everyone
deserves a lasting obituary to serve as a memorial to
his or her life. Internet publishing now makes it possible
for everyone to have the kind of commemoration currently
reserved for only a few.
Through partnerships with local funeral homes, the
company provides an opportunity for family or friends
of a deceased to place online details concerning funeral
arrangements along with a memorial commemorating the
deceased. Individuals accessing Legacy.com will
be able to find information concerning the timing of
a funeral, directions to the funeral home, gifting opportunities
and such other information as may be pertinent and necessary
to the bereaved. The company is currently offering two
products. The first, a living memorial, allows customers
to submit a written obituary consisting of up to 1,000
words which will be placed on Legacy.com for an
indefinite period of time. The second, a "mini"
obituary, consists of a free obituary that will be placed
online on a limited time basis to coincide with the
funeral event.
The company is in the process of establishing strategic
relationships with a number of major newspapers which
will allow placement of Legacy.com advertising and the
Company's URL in the newspaper's obituary listings,
and will result in referrals from the newspapers to
the Legacy.com web site.
Stopher Bartol is President of Legacy.com. Prior to
forming Legacy.com, Stopher worked for McKinsey
& Company, Inc. as Senior Engagement Manager and
various consulting capacities. Mr. Bartol graduated
from the University of Chicago's Graduate School of
Business in 1993 with an MBA in Finance/Marketing.
The company received initial funding of $500,000 from
two Chicago-area investors.
