July 8, 2008 New website lets you plan your own funeral Play video

(Colleen Bamford, NECN) - These days you can find practically anything on the World Wide Web. But did you know you could plan your own funeral?

Funeral planning is the latest service to appear on the internet. From picking a low price casket to choosing service music, the sites offer ways to budget, organize and personalize a final farewell.

The emergence of the cybersend-offs doesn't surprise Peter Stefan funeral director at Graham Putney funeral home in Worcester. He admits the internet sites may help with the initial planning stages but it can't cover everything.

Numbers show others feel differently. Since mywonderfullife.com launched 6 weeks ago the funeral planning site has had 20 thousand hits and 1200 registered users.
