Stainless Steel Laser Etched Memory Book at the Funeral. Like the Idea?

Question

I was just at a funeral and the guy had prepaid for his funeral and he had written out his own short biography and it had been laser etched into stainless steel pages. The book was simple but interesting talking about his childhood, his brother and sisters, his parents. These were his memories that he wanted others and family members in the future to know about. There was also an etched photo of his wife and children and Family Tree on back of the book. I was told the funeral home made two of these books. One went in the Coffin and the other went into a cool looking locked box in the front of the grave stone for people to read years later with the use of a key given to family members. Anyway, his sister said the Stainless Steel will last for 200,000 years and he wanted his life and his thoughts and memories to be remembered more than for JUST Born 12/041937 Died 9/9/2006 I think this is something I would like my Parents to do and maybe me ? What do you think ?

Answer 1

Kind of creepy that he put this much effort into his death but he must have had a lot to say and not enough time to say it. If this is for you I say go for it.
