In her article the author reviews the preliminary results of her doctoral thesis, in which

she asks why online memorials are being created. Is the privatization of mourning

becoming more public in the 21st century? Does the popularity of internet mourning

tell us more about the coherent internet culture or about the diffusion of the

American (commercialized) death culture?

The author’s methods are virtual anthropological and her research material consists

of participant observation, three queries, online interviews, video and screenshot

documents. The material was collected during 2007 and 2011.
