Yahoo Japan has introduced a new program called "Yahoo Ending," which allows users to write and schedule emails to be sent after they have died. "Yahoo Japan’s job has been to solve social problems through the power of the Internet and to provide services from the cradle to the grave," Megumi Nakashima, a spokeswoman for the company, told The Independent. "We had services for the cradle part but not the grave part." The service also lets users deactivate their accounts in the event of their death, as well as delete their documents, photos and videos.
