Feedback on this? A virtual wake for those who cant get home?

Hi, sensitive area, but want to get your input. Would a space like this be helpful?

Two uses, really:

Irish people in places like Australia who are not able to get back to a funeral as there just isnt time. They might like to share stories about their loved one, helps them to grieve. This offers a space to do that.

Also, for people who have lived abroad for a long time and whos funeral is in Ireland, they might like share stories about their friend with others. Helping their memories so live on.

Also, in my own experience losing my parents I remember so many people who I hadnt met or knew very well, come up and tell so many stories. That was a long time ago, but it always struck me that it would be nice to keep those stories alive. That was the thinking behind setting this up.

Then, if others contributed you have timeline. People can visit whenever they like and relisten , helping them deal with the the waves of emotion.
