Who we are

Every once in a while, makers have the opportunity to rebuild an experience that is fundamental to being human, and do it the right way. Where do you go to remember your loved one when there’s no headstone? Within the next 20 years, 80% of all deaths will be cremations, not burials, so there is literally no place to go back to. So much of our lives have captured digitally, but we don’t know what to do with all that content when someone dies except put it on Facebook...not the ideal choice. At LifeWeb, we’re building cemetery 2.0, which doesn’t remind you that your person died, it reminds you how they lived. This is big.
