Upon my death...

[Locutus]

I don't see it as being a bunch of "tasks".  It's no different than putting an obit in the newspaper is a "task".  Or executig a will is a "task."  Or collecting a bunch of tacky bouquets from a funeral home is a "task."  We live in a society where many people only know each other through a screen name or voice.  I look at it as a courtesy to those friends I've made through those channels.

And I'm not asking anyone to do anything "in my name."  They can phrase it however they want to.  Perhaps I'm just thinking too much into this, but if someone close to me -- but not close enough for me to read an obit or someone I had no mutual friends with -- I'd want to know if they had died.

I certainly agree with all of these points, and I believe I'll do the same thing, starting with the contacts in the cell phone.  There are several entries in there of folks who would have no way of knowing if anything ever happened to me and many, if not all, would want to know.

I would also like to know if anything happened to any of the Zone members as well, and I certainly most likely wouldn't know unless someone did something as you've done, and requested that someone inform the forum that something has happened.

I think all of your ideas are excellent.
