Cyber grave sends mourners online

Will RIP become the next TLD?

NEWS A Scottish man has commissioned a gravestone for his father which includes a URL pointing to an online tribute to the deceased. James Kemp has been developing the website since his father, Billy, died two years ago. The website features written tributes, pictures and a biography of Billy Kemp who was a local community councillor in West Dumbartonshire and a popular member of the community, described on the site as "an all round good guy". The cyber gravestone is thought to be the first of its kind in Scotland. For more information, visit http://www.billykemp.org.uk
