@TheLiving "Get me out of here!… just kidding lol"

is nothing sacred anymore? I mean really…

as good as it is, i still prefer the conventional one

As someone who is studying thanatology and mortuary science, I think this is a great idea. Regardless of how it will look, it provides families and friends with memories of their loved one that they can laugh and cry over — great for the mourning process. I think a product like this encourages people to remember the deceased and to grieve long after the funeral, which is something that's never been encouraged in the US.

you have GOT to be kidding. seriously!?! this is completely absurd! beyond absurd, insulting!

@TheLiving “Get me out of here!… just kidding lol”

Some of us have too, too much time on our hands to have thought of this…….

i Take two

No, nothing IS sacred anymore because people are finally getting over the fact that there's no life after death, nor a god. Now if they'd remove that damn cross, I'd love this thing. Gonna get stolen though.

Get a life Jack-ass!

It'd be nice if it wasn't only for Christians…

Does the tomb synchronizes the online status by using the phone internet connection so something like:
tomb —- bluetooth ——— phone ———- gsm/gprs/hsdpa ——— internet——– social network
I think the invention is totally pointless, one can imagine a virtual page of the dead person without any link to the physical tomb.

You will be remembered by that couple of wierd drunken party photos for eternity…wow… i wanna be burned:))

This is just completely wrong – from design angle and from any other angle. I have really big problem with this breed of "designers" They know two things only: how to create 3d rendering and how to get publicity for their so-called "designs" Oh – and not to forget: they know how to ruin image of design in public eyes. Unfortunately what they don't know is the design process itself. This design solved problem that didn't exists in the first place. Shame, shame, shame. If you want to do design please apply for some basic design education. If you received design education and this is the outcome – please go and do something else. Otherwise you are just wasting planet resources with your STUPID and "oh-so-funny" designs.

It does have some advantages. It would be of great help to genealogists searching for family. I’m afraid it wouldn’t last long enough to help someone a hundred years down the road, because time and vandals are not friends to tombstones, and I’m sure todays technology will be obsolete by then.

it's so cool design

It's been done already. A concept for this using metal embedded chips was introduced some years back. The issue is more of longevity in this application. Granite monuments will last hundreds of years. This might survive – 15 or 20? Then the problem of data evolution kicks in. . .

For those who scoff, keep in mind many find a 'place' to visit important. So there can be a combined purpose.

Creepy "idea"

Creepy “idea”

Seems to me quite an inventive way of "going to visit the grave", however i can see the controversy in the matter given technology has taken a hold of the world. This is ingenious but it would be weird to see their drunk pictures and comments and whatnot. Its still not them.

I dont really see the point…if someeone I loved died I dont think I'd see there tweets and facebook stuff etc..that wouldn't really matter to me. I don't see what wrong with a regular grave…you go and pay your respects, all you need really are old photos of the good times you had with that person..just my opinion. Technology is getting great, but some stuff to me is a waste and needed, but what can I do..

For me its a bit too grotesque

This is taking it a bit far I think..let them rest in peace. LOL

This is amazing! Far better than pasting a picture on your grave, this actually lets you give the final word on who you were. What I want to know is when will this be available, and can I stick it in granite? Haha

I would love to have a fuller picture of my grandmother’s life, not just the perspective of her kids (my aunts & uncles). I’d like to see the metadata show genealogical relationships to others in the same cemetery and between cemeteries. I think of the sparse but rich picture Egyptologists are building of the lives of the workers who built the pyramids from shards of notes written on pottery. Consider beyond your own context to the bigger picture for possibilities.

I think this is a great idea! What an excellent way for those of us who have documented our whole lives on facebook and other social networking sites! Wouldn't it be great when we're gone for our grandchildren? They could go through our entire history and know everything about us, from those pictures of our first car, the moans and groans of our first job, our first boyfriend and our first breakup, wouldn't it be a great thing to document our lives? I don't know about you people, but I want to be remembered after I'm gone, and what a better way to do it??

I don't know about that whole phone thing, and I still would want it in a graveyard – but perhaps a GPS tag would be a good idea?
