Mission:
We'd like to help you acknowledge death and embrace life. Our site will provide a forum for people who want to tell their stories and essentially write their own epitaphs before they die, keep family and friends connected to loved ones long after they're gone, and provide support, resources and related health news. The site will facilitate communication about a difficult issue - death - while being respectful but upbeat with even a light humorous edge.
We're offering the ability to live forever on the web. Also, this is a a way to inform people about health issues and the issues associated with death: i.e. wills, hospice, health care, funeral planning process.
There are no site quite like ours that bring in all components we're offering: social networking in the afterlife, service journalism, and memorializing and destigmatizing death.
Our motto: Live forever. Be remembered.
