JAPANESE TEMPLE TO OPEN CEMETERY ON THE INTERNET
In Japan it will soon be possible to be virtually dead.
A Buddhist temple in Hiroshima plans to open a "virtual graveyard" on
the Internet.
Visitors can choose different types of electronic tombstones and include
photos of the deceased and family records on a Web page. They can
create their own memorials in advance and leave informal wills for their
families.
A monk at the Kannonin temple said the idea came from people who live
too far away from the temple to visit, but wanted to tend family
memorials and pay respects to ancestors.
