>_>What would people bring to their graves?

Bury me with my cell phone


Dying doesn’t mean hanging it up for some mobile aficionados

We take them with us to the dinner table, the bedroom, even the bathroom stall. But in recent years, some of us have started taking our beloved cell phones someplace really startling: the grave.

“It seems that everyone under 40 who dies takes their cell phone with them,” says Noelle Potvin, family service counselor for Hollywood Forever, a funeral home and cemetery in Hollywood, Calif. “It’s a trend with BlackBerrys, too. We even had one guy who was buried with his Game Boy.”

Anecdotal evidence suggests being buried with a favorite tech device is on the upswing. The Future Laboratory, a London-based think tank, has commented on the behavior, noting it in places like the United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. But experts are seeing it happen in the United States as well.

My cell is turned off more than turned on. When I go into any building, a store or a restaurant, I switch it off. It is only good manners to do that. And I let the voicemail take the calls, especially when driving (it isn't illegal yet to use a cell when driving here.) Using a cell in a public place (to me) is like farting or belching.
