Keeping your secrets secret...
« on: January 27, 2010, 04:04:32 PM »

   Wonders how much of a market there is for a service that pops in after your death; but before your family, and discreetly removes any items/evidence/etc. of your  . . . "peccadilloes" that you don't want anyone discovering after you're gone. Normally, this would most likely be done by a spouse/S.O./best friend/etc.; but then there are some of us who are nowhere near any of those. Of course it would be a previously signed agreement, to prevent any legal issues.
   Feedback? Thoughts?

I'm not worried about what people think of me after I'm gone.  I wouldn't pay for such a service.

Though, admittedly, the few things that I'd hide aren't that bad.

I'd say those who'd pay for such a service wouldn't necessarily trust a private company with such secrets.

But then again, what do I know?
