Video Tombstones

Posted by samzenpus on from the dead-tv dept.

Rio writes "A new company plans to unveil new high-tech tombstones with embedded flat screen monitors that would allow visitors to play memorial videos of the deceased. Joe Joachim, who says he wants to be the Walt Disney of the funeral business, plans to show the Vidstone this year at the annual funeral directors convention. The solar-powered Vidstone will play a video of the person's life at the touch of a button."

    I don't understand why people sit around crying about the fact that someone has died. Why not celebrate the life they lived?

    What makes you think that these are opposing viewpoints? You sound like someone not old enough to have experienced the death of anyone whose life you personally celebrated.

    There's a picture of my (dead) grand dad on the fridge at my mom's house.

    Who in the hell would pose their dead loved ones on a fridge so that they could take a snapshot?

    Sicko.
