Now, a web service provider that lets you communicate from beyond the grave!

A new web service provider is all set to transcend communication barriers, by giving a chance for the sites users to talk to their folks after their death.

Sydney, Sept 25 : A new web service provider is all set to transcend communication barriers, by giving a chance for the site's users to talk to their folks after their death.

YouDeparted.com, a personal database with an unnatural twist, enables users to store the minute everyday mechanics of their life in an online safety box, which will be passed on to their family and friends after their death.

The details will include anything from account passwords to pending bills and instructions.

Even posthumous video, text and picture messages can be stored.

Collin Harris, who founded the site with his son Nick in June this year, said that users told him that they stored even the music they wished to hear during their funeral, outfit they wanted to be buried in.

Harris said that he got the idea after his father passed way in 2000 without revealing any details like where the keys were kept

"He always said he wanted to be buried in one of the states here [in the US] but he never told us which one or where, so his ashes are still in my mother's house by the fireplace and she doesn't know what to do with them," Sydney Morning Herald quoted Harris, as saying.

However, it was the unexpected death of his friend that made Harris initiate the plan.

"He didn't leave many instructions for anybody. Nobody knew what he wanted or where things were, so for the family it wasn't easy," Harris said.

For a minimum annual fee of S9.95 US dollars, anyone with a computer and net connection can avail an account on YouDeparted.com, that has 10,000 members.

More expensive plans range between 29.95 US dollars and 79.95 US dollars a year give users more capacity to store text entries, video and images.

The theory is that upon the death of the user, his/her beneficiary sends a message to the site and they would receive a confirmation message.

If none, the user or beneficiary raises an objection within five days, then the person is classified as dead and the details are forwarded to friends and family

But Mr Harris said the site has the same data encryption technology used by US government security organisations such as the National Security Agency, and a different key protects each user's details.

"Every single person has a different key so we can't see it, and even if a person got hold of the physical box of our server, they'd have the terrible task of trying to figure out thousands of keys," he said.
