"Otrib provides tools, at no cost, to plan a funeral and notify family and friends. This makes the site useful. Otrib’s users inform you of which “end of life” companies are good and those that are less than reputable. In addition to user reviews, Otrib’s community forums help you deal with the feelings of grief and loss when someone passes away. This makes the site invaluable."
This campaign has sounded sad, gruesome, depressing, and I have avoided joining. Who wants to think about death? Recently, someone passed away that I knew through a friend of a friend. Then today, sadly someone else passed. Otrib claims that is "Lets you name an heir to your Facebook account and specify its handling after you die." Interestingly enough, over 500 million people are on Facebook, and Otrib claims that 5.7 million of them are dead. It's a great concept, what a wonderful place for family members to go & see how many people loved their loved one who has passed. All you have to do is name an "heir" to your Facebook account. They could share the news + make your "wall" public, so others can see photo's, post a memory, and grieve in their own way. Along with this genius service that is free, you can talk to others on a community forum, find a funeral home locally, sign up for a voice mail notification program, & much more. What a great service that is provided in such a distressing time!
