UK Based entrepreneur Sandip Sekhon launches Beautiful Tribute to pay tribute to loved ones for free

Having been involved in fundraising campaigns related to funeral & memorials, Sandip Sekhon, the founder of Beautiful Tribute knows that upon ones passing people need a place to share condolences and love. Having looked at the available options for online memorials, they all had some sort of catch.

Either one need to upgrade to remove ads, the memorial gets archived, one has to pay for additional features, or something else.

Sekhon wanted something that just helps people and lets them pay tribute in the way they want, without being hassled for fees. He wanted to create a website that truly unites people so that they can help each other when times are tough and that was how Beautiful Tribute was born.

Beautiful Tribute is a completely free online memorial site. The team strives to make it easy for anyone to create a beautiful tribute for a loved one.Visitors can easily leave their condolences, share pictures, dedicated videos, music and more.

It has all the features needed to help one pay tribute to a loved one. The memorial owner and visitors can share messages, photos, videos, dedicate music and donate in memory.Besides that, there are also privacy features. For example, memorial owners can password protect a page or even choose to approve content before it’s posted.

We did earlier cover Shrandhanjali.com,  an Indian  startup for online memorials. This space has seen lot of activity with many players entering it, but what makes Beautiful Tribute stand out is the no-strings attached free option for its users.

 About the founder

By 23, Sandip sekhon had gained a 1st class honors degree and Masters in Investment Management from a leading UK university landing up with a top job at a great asset manager. Realizing the corporate world wasn’t his cup of cake, he immersed himself in the world of online business to gain financial freedom. After two years and tons of mistakes, he eventually built a few great websites that generated enough profit so that he could leave his job.

Sekhon is the founder of a number of successful online ventures. Most notably, crowdfunding website GoGetFunding which was listed by Forbes as one of the top 6 crowdfunding sites in the world.

 Journey so far

Sekhon launched the website in December 2013 and the site has been slowly growing. A lot of the future growth will be dependent on search rankings and that’s something that should naturally rise, as more people are aware of the platform.

 Monetization plans

Beautiful tribute offer funeral homes and crematoriums a white-label version of the platform that they can then provide to clients. Many funeral homes like to provide clients with an online memorial as part of their funeral package, so that helps in earning revenue.

 TTP’s Take

Beautiful tribute is indeed a beautiful attempt! Sometimes, it is the gesture and the initiative that matters and money isn’t really a big deal, taking a backseat. Beautiful tribute is such an endeavor which is nothing but heartwarming. We wish Mr. Sekhon a very good luck!
