Bereaved friends and relatives in this city of seven million people [Hong Kong] gained access on Thursday to a new way of honoring and commemorating their departed loved ones: a Web site that enables them to set up online profiles for the dead, memorial.gov.hk....
The site, according to the Hong Kong department that conceived it, “is not meant to replace traditional practices of paying tribute to the deceased.” Instead, it will allow people to pay tribute to their loved ones “anytime and anywhere online, in a warm, personalized yet solemn manner.”
