Sites step in when the bell tolls

Death need no longer mean an incomplete end to your digital self – one company, LifeEnsured, will help wrap up your key online accounts such as Facebook, Twitter and PayPal when your time comes, reports All Things Digital.

According to the report, LifeEnsured offers to deliver a final status message, disable wall posting, change bios and transfer ownership of social networking site Facebook.

“We want people to think about what their virtual life is and what it means to them and their families, and how they want to be perceived after they pass away,” founder Michael Aiello says.

“We want to be there to help take care of all that.”

It also offers to tie up loose ends on dating websites such as eHarmony and Match.com.
