Being a Funeral Director and an expert on digital death, and digital assets I had a schedule conflict Thursday and could not attend the first Digital Death Day un-conference in California.
Regretable, as conversations on Digital Death are important to Funerals as the day is coming soon that Digital Dying will be apart of every Funeral Arrangement. In the years ahead digital assets (Web sites, Facebook Pages, E-Mail Acocunts, Blogs, and everything else internet) will be as important to end of life as a traditional will and Funeral Have been up to now.
I am grateful that Evan Carroll of thedigitalbeyond.com could attend and report on this event.
The disposition of digital assets is important to many professions.
Here is a limited list.
authors,
researchers,
technologists,
funeral directors,
estate planners,
attorneys,
and entrepreneurs.
“So What Will Happen to You Digital Assets WhenYou Die? Right now it is up to you. Facebook has a policy For Page owners to be Memorialized in Death. But even this Can Be confusing. Last year I had a picture of the book “Rest in Peace” up on my Face book a page and one of my Friends thought I Had passed on!
Digital assets have been discussed in many Your Funeral Guy Blog Posts. Special thanks to theJewishWeek.com For declaring Your Funeral Guy an expert, on digital death, dying, facebook death, facebook funeral,the facebook memorial and facebook obituary.

On May 20th, 2010 I had to choose between attending an Important INFORMATION Meeting on Green Cremation(Alkaline Hydrolysis, Bio Cremation) and the Digital Death Day un conference.
These two subjects will change the future of funerals in America!
