I like the idea of the 10 free emails as ultimately you have nothing to lose as it is not costing you anything. I can understand that for some people sending a letter would be more of a personal touch so I imagine that taking out a letter subscription would become a popular option even for those people that have opted to send some emails. Ultimately I guess it is a bit like taking out an insurance premium. If something unexpected happens to you, your back is covered, but in this case your loved ones will have some final loving words waiting for them which they otherwise might not have had… It sounds like a secure service to me as the workings of the service have obviously been well thought through.

When you register with Last Post, we send you a PDF membership certificate. The certificate has your membership number on, a few words to explain that you are a member of our delayed mail service, and instructions for somebody to follow in the event of your death. You print out the certificate and file it with your fill or personal affects. Then whoever executes your will or deals with you affairs after death, faxes, emails or posts a copy of your membership certificate and death certificate to us so we can verify your death. We offer 10 free emails for delivery after death. There is no catch, the emails are free and will always be free. Obviously, we hope that people who use the free email service will eventually upgrade to a paid for letter but we will not be bombarding them with emails trying to convince them to do that. Letters cost £9.99, £19.99 or £29.99 per year depending on whether you would like your letter delivered immediately after death, at a fixed time after death, or at any time after death. The only condition we have for an any time after death letter is that the recipient must be alive at the time of your death. It could be your 1 year old great grand child and you might want the letter delivered on the day of their graduation or wedding. If you subscribe for 2 years, you get 1 year free, and with a 3 year subscription, you get 2 years extra free. After you die, there are no further charges for recipients, all they need to do is keep their details up to date. When that happens, we will notify the recipient and ask their permission to send it. This is so we don't upset anybody, it also discourages people sending malicious letters and emails, and enables the recipient to let us know if they don't receive it. If a letter is due for delivery at some point in the future, we will inform the recipient that a letter is stored for them and they will take over account housekeeping and let us know when any delivery conditions are met. We have two backup options for letters so even if your letter got lost in the post, we can resend it. You can backup your letter by copying or pasting the text into your LastPost.com account or you can upload a scanned PDF copy of your letter. When we receive your letter, we add a tamper evident seal, and store it securely in a fire proof vault. You can request that your letter is mailed back to you so you can change the wording or you can have it switch for a new one. You can change the recipient or posting instructions at any time. If anybody has any more questions about LastPost.com, I would be happy to answer them. Andrew Campbell LastPost.com Hi Sardar, my name is Andrew Campbell and I’m the CEO and Founder of LastPost.com.
