Social media and your final send off…
Social media is here to stay and as such it’s little wonder that sites are cropping up with inventive new angles to this trend. A site I’ve been pecking through lately is an interesting and dark twist on the social media craze. Mysendoff.com is a “social media site that will help you create and document your own final wishes for your own personal funeral sendoff”. That’s right, now you can digitally document your final wishes and send them to six of your chosen family or friends so that when the time comes they’ll have all the details of your last hurrah.
Additionally, the site offers intriguing – albeit dark and a bit morbid – posts of stories and photos of the funerary variety. There’s the post about the mourning photography museum , which offers visitors a visual pictorial of mourning and funeral rites of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. Another post discusses the Scottish legend about a dog who sat loyally beside his master’s grave for over a decade. The site also offers more practical information, such as funeral terminology and funeral products.
If you’ve got questions about the business of death, wish to document your final wishes using the latest trend, or are just darkly curious – then perch yourself on over at mysendoff.com .
