What I’d do is record a video of all the things I wanted people to know, such as “oh yeh: mum – I know it was you who broke my tv!” and play it to them when im gone. That site allows you to do that.

If you have domains, passwords bank numbers, etc. you can also note them down there in a piece of text and reveal each sensitive item to the specific person(s) that would need it.

Thats what I’m doing. On top of that I think I’ll also make everyone wear that t-shirt too! I thought it was an awesome idea!

One thing that we’ve seen left out is ceremony. While many friends and family may know your religious/non-religious views, they may not know how or what you want. Do you want a wake, a funeral? Should you be cremated, buried naturally, in a casket? Do you prefer donations to an organization Vs. flowers? Do you have a specific piece of text you wish to have read to everyone?

New topics to consider – Do you own a domain name – who will renew it? What about your passwords? How should callers be greeted when they call your cell phone if they get your voice mail?

It’s funny to me that we concern ourselves with the tangible and leave out the process. This is the last opportunity we have to remind everyone who we are/were. One of the wildest ideas I’ve heard is from my brother in law was to give everyone that attends his funeral a T-shirt that says “I came to name’s funeral and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” Silly to most, but specific to the individual.

Thanks for the post Hannah.
