eClosure aims to provide an easy-to-use online service for grieving families to close or memorialise the social media and email accounts of their deceased relatives.
Since signing up to social networking sites is so easy nowadays, you would not expect that closing an account when a loved one dies would be difficult.
But you would be mistaken. Each service has different requirements and complex processes to close or memorialise accounts. As a result, many deceased persons’ accounts remain active, which means that their friends and connections continue to receive birthday notifications, updates and other people can post on their accounts, leading to anguish and upset.
eClosure is a service designed to ensure that the operation of these social networks does not add to people’s grief after their loved one has passed away. This problem is being recognised around the world.
