YOU would think a gravesite would be one place on earth that is free from smart technology, but not anymore.

A firm in Slovenia has ensured the digital age can follow you in death by developing the world’s first smart tombstone.

With a 48inch touchscree­n, the gravestone allows mourners to view pictures and videos of their loved ones, as well as pages of text. The $4500 device looks like any other headstone from afar, but standing in front of its sensors for a few seconds brings the display to life for those at the gravesite.
