Email loved ones from your grave

A messaging service to send emails from beyond the grave has been launched called the Last Messages Club.

The service allows personal notes written prior to their death to be sent to loved ones in the future. Important documents such as wills and insurance details can also be accessed through the service.

Organisers insist The Last Messages Club is in no way ghoulish but eases the stress and trauma associated with the death of a loved one.

A member can write up to 100 emails that can be released once they die at times of their choosing, such as when a relative or loved one marries or has a child. The Last Messages Club works by giving each member a secure and private vault.

They are then able to create messages to be sent specifically to their chosen recipient.

These messages can range from a final love letter, guidance for someone left behind, a list of instructions, details on life insurance and other financial information. Photos, videos and documents can also be attached.

Our ingenious, simple but secure process means that messages are only sent after at least two people (appointed by you) have confirmed that you have died and other safety criteria are met.

They have a "Trial Membership". Free for 30 days. Not sure how that works????

'service' doing so well. It's creepy!

all the e-mails.

I like the idea a lot, in principle. Every anniversary, or every Seldon Crisis, your loved ones get reminders of how much you loved them.

I think it would creep me out too. However, I also think a lot of people might like to use it for several purposes.

My uncle died and I was told by my cousin in the morning. All day I had tears. Finally around dinner, I couldn't stand it, so I e-mailed my uncle to tell him I loved him. (He and I only had an e-mail relationship b/n NJ and IN.)

One hour later, there's e/m from my uncle in my inbox. It's now "The Twilight Zone" and should I open THIS one?

Fortunately it was my other cousin, who had arrived at his father's apartment and saw the computer was left on and he responded, "Don't freak out, it's Cousin _______. Please be sure that my dad has read your e/m and loves you too."

I've kept that e/m since then.

:rofl:

I saw a movie on HBO (based upon a novel) where a guy left letters to be given to his widow at various points after his death.

It was a very romantic story, and quite touching.
