Loading...Digital funeral directors – a service to wrap-up social profiles and loose ends online for users who have died
When a friend passed away recently, his family had great difficulty finding his friends in time to inform them and invite them to his funeral. An online service that kept hold of your social profile accounts and passwords would allow the digital executor to quickly gain access and inform relevant parties of the bad news.
As well as that, there could be options to close down the accounts, post templated announcements and even close down the social profiles – in order to reduce confusion and number of ‘ghost’ profiles on Facebook, Linkedin and elsewhere.
The actual church service could incorporate all of this along with gathering images and information on their achievements. And behind the scenes, wrap up transactions on Ebay, Amazon and PayPal in a way that ensures the dead user’s money goes into their bank account – rather than allow these big businesses to hold on to their funds.
Maybe there is already a solution to the problem this idea tries to solve, if there is, please post the link as a solution.
I guess this will become part of the service – the priest closes your socials or sets them to family only, or keep live for others to post comments on. I guess for some like this company, its going to be a big part of the service, if people want it to be as they can grab some milestones and images to use in the farewel and give people a link to their relatives digital lives forever more.
Yep, I would pay someone to ensure FaceBook didn’t get to own me after death. Just to stick ads on my grave! Christ!!!
I bet YouTube died inside when they realised they HAD to allow popular ad revenue channels to be set as inactive for dead creators.
Would be a good service, better than being dumped in the digital graveyard with no pomp. Don’t wanna go there….
