Farewill, a U.K.-based end-of-life services provider that offers online tools for writing wills, organizing probate, and arranging cremation, has been acquired by funeral service provider Dignity in an all-shares deal valuing the startup at £12.9 million ($16.8 million). Founded in 2015, Farewill is one of several startups to emerge in a category dubbed “death tech.” This includes apps to memorialize loved ones and social platforms to support the grieving process. Some have raised significant amounts of venture capital funding, too, such as Empathy which emerged from stealth back in 2021 with $13 million for its digital assistant for bereaved families — going on to raise a further $47 million just a few months ago.

The episode, titled “Estranger Things,” focuses on Bart and Lisa drifting apart—something Marge fears before the story jumps 35 years into the future, where her funeral is shown. In this future, Lisa is the NBA commissioner, Bart runs an unlicensed retirement home, and Homer is a grieving widower. A heartfelt video message from Marge helps reconcile Bart and Lisa, and the family reunites with Homer to watch a reboot of The Itchy & Scratchy Show. The finale closes with Marge in Heaven, smiling as she watches her family reconnect, then walking off with Ringo Starr and joking about marrying him in the afterlife. Fans were shocked and emotional, with many expressing outrage online over the decision to “kill off” such a beloved character—even in a fictional future. - #simpsons #sad #history #trending #news #photography #explore

The St. Joseph of Arimathea Pallbearer Ministry at the University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Academy is a student-led initiative that provides pallbearer services for homeless individuals, military veterans, and others who have no one to honor them at their funerals. Established in 2015, the program aligns with the school's motto, "Men for Others," and is inspired by a similar ministry at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland. Students involved in the ministry undergo training to serve as pallbearers, learning about funeral procedures and the importance of dignity in death. Before each funeral, they gather to pray and, when possible, learn about the deceased. After the service, they reflect on their experience, often expressing a deepened sense of empathy and community responsibility. The ministry not only honors those who might otherwise be forgotten but also profoundly impacts the students, fostering a commitment to service and compassion. Many alumni continue to engage in community service, inspired by their experiences in the program. ⚠️⚠️⚠️ Disclaimer: NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED!
