Remembering and paying a final tribute to those who have passed away in our Basque communities in the Diaspora is the goal of our “In Memory Of” section. EuskalKultura.com provides readers and friends the possibility of publishing some lines in memory of the deceased along with their obituary. Send us information about those who have passed in your communities and we´ll take care of it. A list of Diaspora obituaries appears below.
Donostia-San Sebastian. How many times has someone passed away in the Diaspora with only a few people being aware of it? We owe them one last tribute. EuskalKultura.com gives you a tool to communicate the death of Basques abroad, or people linked to the Basque diaspora. In order to not have your loved one, or friend’s passing go unnoticed, you have a place to send or to read information. It's also a place to send a few lines, your tribute or your condolences.
This is a shared effort. And we need your help to make us aware of deceases aroud you.
You can help by sending information about those who have passed away in your Basque community, or in any others that you may know of. Your effort is something that won’t take much, but that many people will appreciate. These are things that you do not for yourself, but because those who have passed deserve it.
To contribute all you have to do is send us some lines: name and place, where they were from in the Basque Country helps, date of the death, if you know or feel like some lines about the person, as well as a photo if possible, and a link if an obituary has been alreday published in a local paper or bulletin. Just send it, any information will be welcomed.
You can send it in the following way:
-In Basque, writing here
-In Spanish, writing here
-In English, writing here
(Unfortunately we are not capable right now of publishing it in French)
The information appears on the homepage of EuskalKultura.com, in the column to the right.
