About Project

The digitization of obituaries and the transition to a web edition is a significant step in the modernization of this segment of informing. This change not only brings better accessibility and interactivity, but also contributes to preserving the memory of the deceased in a long-term and dignified way.

The portal allows users to publish obituaries, memorials and statements of gratitude, both for the web and for the printed edition of the “Politika” newspaper. It is also possible to light an e-candle or lay e-flowers for loved ones.

A sophisticated content management system (CMS) has been developed to allow editors full control over all aspects of content publishing.

Key Points:
