You may have noticed on your membership application that we asked whether you would like to include a photograph of your loved one on our memorial wall and as part of our Remember Me Campaign.
One thing families never tire of is talking about the men and boys they love. We share photographs, tell stories and remember the moments that made them special. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry. sometimes we do a little of both.
We talk about the things they used to do, the things they used to say, and the memories that still bring comfort years later.
The Remember Me Memorial Wall is simply an extension of that.
If you chose to participate, we will create a memorial plaque featuring your loved one’s photograph, name and details. Each plaque is presented in the same style, with only the photograph and personal details changing. Together they create a beautiful and respectful tribute to the men and boys who remain loved and remembered by their families.
When choosing a photograph, we encourage you to select a favorite image that captures the person as you remember them best. For best results, photographs should show your loved one from approximately the chest height upwards, with their face clearly visible.
Not every family who visits Coronial Equity Alliance is seeking a case review or becoming a member. Some simply wish to honour the memory of a loved one who is no longer with them.
For those families, we are pleased to extend the Remember Me Memorial Wall to our broader community. Families may request a memorial plaque even if they are not members of CEA and are not seeking assistance with the circumstances of their loved one’s passing.
The Remember Me Wall is dedicated to preserving the memories of the men and boys who remain deeply loved, greatly missed and fondly remembered.
Through photographs, tributes and personal stories, families can share the legacy of their loved ones that continues to matter.
If you would like a memorial plaque, please complete our secure online form.
If you chose to add your loved one to the Remember Me Memorial Wall, we also invite you to write a short personal tribute in the message section of the Memorial wall form.
Your tribute will be placed on a specially designed CEA memorial graphic and linked to your loved one’s memorial plaque. When a visitor clicks on the plaque, they will be able to read the tribute and learn a little more about the person behind the photograph.
Some families write about their loved one’s personality, sense of humor, achievements or qualities that made them so special. There is no right or wrong way to write a tribute.
We encourage to write from the heart and to speak about your loved one as you remember them.
To ensure consistency across the Memorial Wall, tribute messages are limited to 700 characters and should be written in plain text. Please do not include emojis, emoticons, decorative symbols, web links or excessive punctuation.
Tribute messages will be published as submitted and will not normally be edited, except where necessary to correct formatting issues or comply with CEA’s publication guidelines.
Thank you for allowing us to honor your loved one. Together, we will remember them.
Please ensure all details are entered correctly. Plaques are uploaded to our website based on the information we receive, and it can take considerable time to amend if incorrect.
CEA would respectfully like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands, skies and waterways on which we work. We recognise the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples amongst the families we care for, our employees, volunteers and supporters, who form part of the oldest continuous living culture on Earth. We pay our respects to them and their Elders past, present and emerging.
