Hey everyone know that I am a technology person. I must say when I read this I had to laugh out loud. This is taking technology to a whole new level. Now I have my own idea now that I think I will put in my will for Pam to follow. It will be that I want a webcam in my casket. Of course I will need an outside electrical outlet next to my headstone. I will need the inside of the casket to be lit of course so that Pam can log on the computer to check and see if I am still there. I don't want someone to dig me up. Who knows I could still be alive and wake up later and be trapped. If Pam is checking on a regular basis, she would be able to see and ear me screamimg!
LONDON - Pay-per-view funerals go live online in Britain on Tuesday, allowing mourners who cannot attend services in person to pay their last respects via the Internet.
Despite criticism of the scheme as macabre, the company who launched the service, Wesley Music, is planning to offer it to crematoria across the country who will charge a one-off payment of around $150 for access to a funeral Webcast.
Mourners use the password to access a live online broadcast of the funeral service captured by a small camera mounted in the chapel.

"Families are dispersed across the world these days and sometimes it's the case that someone cannot get home in time for a funeral," said Alan Jeffrey, director of Wesley Music.
"For those who need it, this is a very important service. It means that rather than being excluded, they can at least witness and be a part of a funeral as it happens. In a time of stress this is something that can ease the pain."
David Powell, of funeral directors Henry Powell and Son in Southampton, southern England said he had already tested the service during three funerals. He insisted they remained private, intimate affairs despite being broadcast on the Web.
