"After Death Online Services" industry

After reading the news that funerals in Berkshire were now being made available to mourners online for £60 a pop, I couldn't help but remember something I saw years ago which suggested there a growing market for what can only be described as "after death online services".

There are now a number of providers out there such as "The Last Email" and "Eternal Message" that offer users the facility to have automatic emails sent out to loved ones after you've popped your clogs. I particularly like the marketing bid on The Last Email which says "You only die once."

Death, next to sex, is probably the only recession proof industry.
