Cemeteries Going Digital

Posted on 21 June 2010 by

We are beginning to see the digitization of cemeteries. Personal Rosetta Stone is a company that sells a addition to headstones that connects mobile users in the cemetery to digital archives on the Web.

This connection between digital archives and headstones provides the missing link between the final physical remains of a human and a digital record of their life. It is a logical enhancement of the traditional cemetery experience and bereavement process. It also creates interesting possibilities for people researching their ancestors.

Expect to see more products that digitally enhance death in the coming years.

We just found this great article from Robert Roper in Obit Magazine. Inspired by Digital Death Day, it’s a great overview of digital death and mentions materials from The Digital Beyond throughout the article. It’s worth your time to read through it.

Read the article.
