An Italian start-up has developed an online social media community that will work as a sort of virtual cemetery for dearly departed people and pets.
The idea behind RipCemetery is to provide a private online space for users to share memories - messages, photos and videos - in a private environment.
"I developed the RipCemetery as a way for mourners to share memories online, build out a support network and connect with people all over the world," said company founder Jacapo Vitali.
RipCemetery website and mobile app allows users to create a 'virtual family tomb' for people and pets, 'Discovery News' reported.
A virtual tombstone allows participants to view and virtually visit their loved one's memorial with the help of a geolocation system.
Visitors can add written notes, photos, videos and virtual flowers.
Adjustable privacy settings are designed to allow families to determine who can participate.
