			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.inquisitr.com/wp-content/cyberfuneral.jpg" alt="" title="cyberfuneral" width="250" height="164" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2543" />The world of tech is meeting &#8212; well, the world of death.  A funeral home in South Carolina has started offering families the option to hold <a href="http://www.nbc13.com/vtm/news/local/article/new_trend_loved_ones_having_cyber_funerals/32654/">&#8220;cyber funerals&#8221; for loved ones</a>.  Seriously.</p>
<p>For an extra fee, you can get your final farewell broadcast across the entire Web.  Have some relatives who don&#8217;t want to make the journey?  Let them watch from home!  Want to digitally immortalize the moment to relive over and over at the click of a button?  You&#8217;ve got it!  </p>
<p>Now, to be fair, this place isn&#8217;t the first to try the idea &#8212; though it&#8217;s far from a widespread practice.  </p>
<p>Is it a bad idea?  Not necessarily.  It is, after all, putting technology to a new and modern use &#8212; albeit it in an odd sort of way.  </p>
<p>Still, for some reason, the whole thing leaves me with a bit of a weird feeling.  Maybe there are some places where technology shouldn&#8217;t go.  Maybe this is one of them.</p>
<p>Any thoughts?</p>
