The Downard Funeral home in Pocatello, Idaho has started livecasting its funeral processions. They set up a camera to laptop and broadcast live on the internet. Family members are sent a link and password via email and can enter the password protected site to watch the funeral procession. It is then available for 90 days afterward, during which viewers can request a DVD copy.
Kinda creepy, but an innovative idea. Instead of taking off work to morn the dead, you can pay your respects through your computer, from the comfort of your office chair.
