Things to do Before You Die

Your Digital Legacy

From buying music online, to sharing photos on social media to banking and shopping, the majority of us are online and will leave a digital legacy.

It is important to plan ahead and think about whether and how you share digital assets with your loved ones.

The Internet has been the biggest force for change since the industrial revolution. It has expanded the ways in which we communicate with one another and has altered the ways in which we prepare for death and remember the deceased. Our digital footprint is the trail that we leave whilst we use the Internet and internet enabled devices. Our digital footprint may include social media messages, blog posts and media such as photos and videos. Large parts of our digital footprint will inform and convert into our digital legacy when we die. Our social network profiles (like Facebook and Twitter) may also become virtual places of remembrance where messages of respect and condolences are left

“How do I thank you all? Where do I begin?  The care, love and support you showed my beautiful sister and also to our whole family was incredible. You are a superb team and you should be very proud of every shift you work.  There aren’t enough words or big enough words to continue...so in the words of my sister...if the only prayer you say in your entire life is ‘thank you’ that’ll be enough.  Much love to you all ”
