When the Mortuary Services Office of Taichung set up a new website a little over a year ago, they didn’t expect it would attract quite as much attention as it has.

Now, just ahead of a major holiday honoring the dead, some are looking to pay their respects to those who have passed without having to congregate at gravesites. So how exactly does this online memorial work? And might it catch on?
