You can easily find websites associated with funeral homes at which you can leave messages of sympathy about a deceased person.
But there are messages of hate as well, when the deceased was notorious.
Such is he case with Marvin Segrest, a white man who died at the age of 89 in 1986 after having been acquitted by an all-white jury in Tuskegee, Alabama on charges of shooting to death Samuel Younge, Jr. after the black Vietnam U.S. Navy Veteran used a white's only restroom at a Standard Oil gas station where Segrest worked. The N.Y. Times published a photo series on 11-30-2020 that included a picture of the restroom.
A sample of messages left on Segrest's "memorial" page:
May his soul forever be enveloped in the raging flames of hell

I will always remember how Marvin got away with the cold-blooded murder of Sammy Younge Jr. I hope he rots in hell.
