Email loved ones from your grave

A messaging service to send emails from beyond the grave has been launched called the Last Messages Club.

The service allows personal notes written prior to their death to be sent to loved ones in the future. Important documents such as wills and insurance details can also be accessed through the service.

Organisers insist The Last Messages Club is in no way ghoulish but eases the stress and trauma associated with the death of a loved one.



A member can write up to 100 emails that can be released once they die at times of their choosing, such as when a relative or loved one marries or has a child. The Last Messages Club works by giving each member a secure and private vault.

They are then able to create messages to be sent specifically to their chosen recipient.

These messages can range from a final love letter, guidance for someone left behind, a list of instructions, details on life insurance and other financial information. Photos, videos and documents can also be attached.

Geoff Reiss, founder of The Last Messages Club, said: "No one likes to think about their impending 'demise', but it is much better to be fully-prepared, so that there is less stress on your loved ones after you pass away." People can sign up to a silver option costing £45 or a gold package costing £190.
