Why would you have a funeral in real life when you could have it online, allowing people to pay their respects without ever having to put on a black outfit or even leave their homes?
The New York Times explores our modern state of affairs, let's call it Memorial Services 2.0, where pretty much everything, from birth to death, is landmarked digitally.
Among the offerings in this new world in which we live and die are software programs for DIY online memorials, funeral home webcasts, digital tribute DVDs, and live-streamed services -- some offered free, some charged for.
