GONE, BUT APPARENTLY NOT FORGOTTEN

A company called Graveside Memory Capsule is marketing a device that some might find comforting and others (Raising hand now) a tad creepy. As its name implies, the capsule contains memories of the deceased, but with a twist: They’re in a watertight device attached to the headstone, and the recorded data can be downloaded to a laptop via USB cable. “It's time the cemetery joined the computer world with the rest of modern society," said the capsule’s manufacturer, in a release. The unit goes for $495, but has enough memory for 1,000 pages of documents and 500 photos. Pardon the expression, but that sounds like a bit of overkill. More information is available at Graveside Memory Capsule.com.

Sounds like a graveside invitation for identity thieves! I can also see the tacky TV Movie now -- "As the Plot Thickens!" Ewe.
