Cremation on the net

"An Indian funeral house plans to bring people separated by distances in life closer in death, via the Internet. The century-old crematorium, run by local authorities in the western city of Baroda, is creating a Web site to webcast funerals live to relatives and friends of the dead who are too busy or too far off to make it in time," reports the Indian Express.

"The Web site, tentatively called www.mokshadham.org -- the Sanskrit name means abode of salvation -- is expected to be operational by June next year, said Jagdish Thakkar, an official at the local Rotary Club which is helping build the site."
