AN IPHONE APP TOO FAR? OR DEAD ACCURATE MARKETING?
There was a time that remembering the dearly departed meant erecting a tombstone and making a visit every now and again to decorate the grave with flowers. The advent of the Internet Age then added on the option to create a web page memorial that could include all manner of media add-ons such as pictures, music, videos etc. At least visitors could go through the full multimedia memorial.

But now it's possible to keep your loved ones in your pocket, thanks to a new iPhone-based application called the Pocket Cemetery. For the totally affordable price of $2.99, you can, "create memorials for dead loved ones or anyone you want to memorialize including relatives, friends, pets and celebrities." Fluffy the kitten may well have been taken from you unexpectedly by a reversing garbage truck, but with Pocket Cemetery, you can create a tribute that will enshrine him in all his mewling and purring glory.


As for celebrities, you can already find Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, and Billy Mays.
