Talking Tombstone

Have you heard of Talking Tombstones? The headstones have screens and speakers that will play recordings from the deceased to their loved ones. I mean, it totally make sense. I don’t know how I feel about it, though.
People in Austria aren’t too happy about them.
Eva Langer, 67, said: ‘I was kneeling beside my husband’s grave, saying a prayer when I heard a voice and then laughter and music. When I looked round I saw a dead man’s face talking to me from the tombstone next door.”
I guess I see her point. But I think I’d like to visit Jonathan’s grave and to listen to a funny message from him that would cheer me up. From what I could find, it’d cost around $4,000 for the audio and an extra $4,000 for the video.
Has anyone ever seen one of these? The inventor Wolfgang Gollner says, “They’re pretty popular in America.” Really??

That would be freaky. I’d rather have a video or dvd at home where I can play it when I want.

Janet- That makes sense, too, and would be a LOT cheaper!
