In one instance, it was important to determine what resources were to be retained as part of company records and what might need to be archived and given to the spouse. There are a number of ethical concerns for those in a corporate environment, and companies would do well to have a policy to handle the eventuality of death in the work place. Thank you for addressing a good portion of this concern in this forum.

They are more than historians and are doing significant work in this area. In particular with insight of what to store and how to store it for the long term.

I’d have something to say about how we use the internet as a green burial business. We run closed Facebook groups for the friends and families of our burial grounds (one group per burial ground). They are popular and people use them to post photos and talk to each other about the person they lost. We also use the groups to arrange events and discuss ideas such as ‘what do you all think of the new gate’ etc. We had a picnic at Hundy Mundy on 15th August where the families met up which was arranged, in part, virally by the younger ‘facebook’ generation telling the older ones about it and also by letter and email. We also have a page for Native Woodland and a group ‘Natural Burial in the UK’ which we use for discussion and market research. We use Survey Monkey for that too wish I could come to this as a representative of a very wired natural burial ground company but can’t make it sadly.
