When you think about receiving messages from the dead, what usually comes to mind are psychic mediums conducting seances, but this may no longer be the case.
Eternal Applications, a Massachusetts-based web hosting company, recently launched an “after-life messaging platform,” which allows users to create personalized messages that will be delivered to family and friends after users die.
It used an administrator system that notifies when a user has died so that their messages can be queued, Eternal Applications said in a press release. USA Today reported.
The firm aims to provide “peace of mind to users” who want their legacy, wisdom or life stories to be shared and remembered, according to the press release.
How does it work?
In the press release, the company revealed that users will be able to use “easy-to-use text, video and audio tools” to record and send messages.
They can then choose the recipient of the message, enter that person's contact information and choose the date they want the message to be delivered, the company said.
When the date arrives, Eternal Applications will send the recipient a link to a secure page where they can read, view or listen to the message and also download it to their phone, computer or tablet.
Chris Jalbert, founder of Eternal Applications, said: “Words fade over time, but creating a message that your loved one can play or reread as many times as they want is priceless.”
