Tributes: what a visitor can leave, and why it waits
Anyone who can read a page can leave a tribute — about the person, or about one memory. The family reads every tribute before it appears.
A tribute is a short message for the page — Your father hired me when nobody else would — signed the way you choose. You can also leave one about a particular memory.
It waits for the family
Every tribute from a visitor is read by a manager before it appears, whatever the page's other settings. That's not suspicion; it's the family's page, and a family reads every card before putting it on the mantel. You'll see your tribute as waiting; when it's published it's on the page with your signature.
Members' tributes follow the page's ordinary review setting.
Signing
See Signing a tribute. A tribute is the visitor's way in; if you knew the person well, ask to contribute instead and add a memory of your own.
