Anyone who has ever dealt with a death in the immediate family knows only too well what an unpleasant task it is to prepare for a funeral. Just when you think you've hit your emotional wall, you get a call saying they need the obituary and a photograph the next day.LivingObituary.com is a package that includes interviewing the client, preparing a living history of that person's deeds in an accepted newspaper-style obituary format, and the creation of a digital photograph (or copying of an old one) of the client.

The client gets a version of the obituary and photograph electronically stored, and Ditler keeps one on file. Updates may be made over the years including a final version upon your passing.

"One of the nice things about LivingObituary.com is that you also have the opportunity to specify what charity or church you wish donations to be made to upon your passing," says Ditler, "Your final philanthropic act, if you will, and an elegant way to bring closure to your life."

The message is simple: You've planned ahead all these years. Why stop now? "The reaction I receive from almost everyone is, 'Wow, that's a load off my shoulders,'" says Ditler, who refers to the document as, "a small victory over death and dying."
