It's what he would have wanted – but are you really sure your relatives will get it right?

 

Just to be certain that you are eulogised with the appropriate sentiments, a father and daughter from Exeter have created an online memory box.

Businessman Chris Dunston and his student daughter Jessica have created and launched Permaneopage, a subscription website, where visitors can prep loved ones for their final send-off.

 

Here, users can compile and continually refresh a post-mortem bucket list, conveying special memories, jokes, photos and the playlist that sums up their life.

"We've all been to funerals that had no relevance whatsoever to the person who's died," says Chris, who is also behind Exeter-based Artavia Personal Financial Services. 

"A minister trying to make sense of the life of a person he's never met, or relatives having no idea what music or readings to choose because they never had that conversation.

"I'm always talking to my clients about planning for their future which invariably involves their families. Whilst a will takes care of distributing your worldly goods, it occurred to me that people should also plan some happy memories for after they have passed on."

 

Permaneopage – the name is Latin for last page – guides users through a series of prompts to make up a list of favourite music, words, and books. With space to compose final thoughts and last orders in a literal sense, users can even use the facility to leave a letter for their nearest and dearest.

 

The website charges users a one-off fee of £12.47 – a fixed pricing point deliberately chosen to attract attention to the service.

 

The subscriber can access their page as often as they like and must also nominate a friend or executor to become a password holder, enabling them to access the site in a read-only mode when the time comes.

 

Jessica, who is currently studying for a post graduate degree in sustainable environmental management at Plymouth University, worked with her father on the site's concept and also created the initial layout for its design.

 

The pair commissioned Exeter-based e-commerce specialist Daneswood to develop the website, www.permaneopage.com, in full.

 

Mr Dunston, who has already uploaded his own personal mementoes onto the site, said he aims for the venture to develop organically, adding: "It's a business without a business plan. We'll see how its grows."
