You really can have the last word. A new online service, FinalThoughts.com,
provides a filing cabinet for an annual subscription fee. In this storage bin
you can file unlimited e-mail messages for posthumous delivery. Your final words
are then distributed when the person you designate authorizes the action with
a prearranged password.
FinalThoughts.com suggests that you use these "final e-mails"
to specify funeral arrangements, burial information, specify the location of
your last will and testament, provide financial planning information for your
heirs, and to also leave a final word of caring to loved ones. The company’s
Web site also offers assistance with grief & loss, spirituality and more.
Personally, I think it would be a bit eerie to receive an e-mail
from a recently departed loved one. Yet there is a practical side to the company’s
services.
