Legacy.com is a United States-based website founded in 1998,[2] the world's largest commercial provider of online memorials.[3] The Web site hosts obituaries and memorials for more than 70 percent of all U.S. deaths.[4] Legacy.com hosts obituaries for more than three-quarters of the 100 largest newspapers in the U.S., by circulation.[5] The site attracts more than 30 million unique visitors per month and is among the top 40 trafficked websites in the world.[4]
Legacy.com attaches a publicly accessible guestbook to most of the obituaries it hosts,[6] which enables anyone with an Internet connection to pay tribute to someone whose obituary appears in one of Legacy.com's affiliate newspapers or is self-published on Legacy.com. The company now reviews more than 1,000,000 guestbook entries each month to make sure that entries are appropriate and sensitive to those close to the family. About 75 percent of all guestbooks receive entries. As of 2016, the company was approaching 100 million guestbook entries on its site.[5]
