E-mail From Beyond The Grave

We're familiar with last wills and testaments, epitaphs and posthumously published books.

These voices from the other side are now joined by e-mail messages. Yes, for an annual fee, you can create and store up to 60 separate e-mail messages for loved ones designed to be sent upon one's demise. "You care about your family, friends and loved ones. Show you care by leaving them each an e-mail to be delivered after you pass on," the pitch explains.

Just how does one trigger the release of these messages, one might wonder, being that one is dead? They are sent after the company receives notice that a subscriber's Social Security number has been released by the U.S. Government, which could take up to a month or more, a list the company presumably scans regularly.

There is no comment at the site on the consequence that a surprise e-mail from the dead could, in fact, bring the newly deceased some company.

The site does day that in addition to e-mail messages you may also upload a favorite picture to be attached to your messages, and with the Premium Service you can upload a digital video that can be viewed by some or all of your loved ones.

From the moment you decided to begin creating this web-service, it is made into a family project. You can chose domain-names, colors, backgrounds, and pictures.
