St. Peter's Gate -- memorial networking site and of other death memorial eServices

St. Peter's Gate is a memorial networking site produced by St. Peter Life Plan. The main feature of St. Peter's Gate is probably the eLibing where interment videos of St. Peter clients are uploaded online. Relatives, friends and other interested people, especially those who are in abroad, can view the interment celebration online. 

The St. Peter's Gate eLibing is said to complement another service of St. Peter Life Plan which is the eBurol. The eBurol is defined in their website as:

e-Burol

As part of our best service to our customers,

we are providing this e-Burol facility to enable relatives

and friends, who can not go to the wake of their deceased, to view

it anywhere in the world thru this website. It is a digital and

everlasting tribute to a loved one.

While the eLibing are uploaded videos of the interment, eBurol are the live online video of the wake of the death which is held in St. Peter's chapels. The eBurol is a free service to aid those relatives who are in other parts of the world and cannot come home for the wake. It came before eLibing. Following is a screenshot of eBurol which I got from their user's manual.

The St. Peter Memorial Gates / eLibing service was launched July, 2009, and they claimed it to be an instant hit among Filipinos here and abroad, and they plan it to make it available in all their chapels nationwide just like their eBurol service. 

If St. Peter Life Plan offer this kind of service, it must be a sign that there is a big need / market for this kind of  death-celebration related products, at least for the Filipinos. The point here is that the typical social networking sites can be a tad saturated market already, why not go for this kind of theme in your social network sites. Or, if death is too morbid for your taste, then how about value added services for birth celebrations. You can have eBirth / eAnak where people can upload birth delivery videos or live streaming of birth  deliveries. I guess it's worth looking at before or after life for our next products.
