Death Book

a startup idea shared by Abhishek Sharma on 05/28/2012

How would it be to have a social obituary? How many of us have felt bad about not being able to attend someone's funeral just cos' of your geographic separation or some inevitable reason? The funeral will never shift its date to adjust your schedule (of course) but there could be a social networking site where we could mourn about our loved and departed ones. If facebook would be your solution, then how would you "like" someone's update with the contents: "my friend expired last nite". You could comment RIP but that does not fulfill the duty of MOURNING. What say?

She had a similar idea a while back, but hasn't started development on it. I'll send her to this page to see if she's interested.

Oh that would be awesome. Many of my friends are opposing me on doing this cos it hits the emotional side of humans. But i totally disagree to it. I aim to build a place where we could mourn on our beloved's death. I have already faced the situation which gave me this idea.

And i really dun care if this project is already done. If they were built well I would have heard that by now. I want to get this thing as intuitive and as touching as possible.

P.S Forgive my grammar. English is my 2nd language

And the websites you have posted are not personal in nature. I was thinking of something like facebook. but for death specifically.

Would it not be fitting if each digital tombstone was its own URL, and people could comment? Then, we could share the page or comment we leave. I'd be for it. My father died when the web was very new, no blogs, no Facebook, and sometimes I find it weird that there's not a peep about him online. So, I'd be for it.

@Saul, your idea of having a digital tombstone is awesome. I loved it instantly. The only thing i fear about in this website is the abuse of it. Suppose we have people "spitting" on other's grave whom they dont know, it will not be very pleasant. I am planning to make it in a way that you can only visit a limited number of graves.

Theres 1 more thing: Non- christians would also want to post their sorrows for which i will have to think religion wise.

And would it offend anyone by any means? My friends are very skeptical about that.

* oh by the way, by limited number of graves i mean i could probably use his facebook login to find his friends and limit him to only their posts.
