The Last Word
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.

Further information is available at: www.FinalThoughts.com.
