Lucas* and Charmaine* were an elderly couple. After Lucas passed on, Charmaine wanted to fly to Australia to be with her son during her time of grief. Charmaine didn't know how to get immediate access to the bulk of their savings because Lucas had always managed their finances. She had never thought to ask for all the passwords and access details and Lucas never thought about writing them down in case he was not around. 

A few months after Kagiso* passed on, his brother Thulani* saw a post from Kagiso on one of his social media platforms. Kagiso's account was hacked and a hacker was posting from the account for several days. During this time of grief, Thulani started the process to close his brother's accounts but it was long and laborious with the hacker continuing to post every day. 

Elmarie* was always very pedantic about her appearance. For parties and functions she always asked her sister Leonie* to do her hair and makeup. Elmarie passed on unexpectedly. At her funeral the funeral director did a terrible job with her makeup. Everyone was devastated but especially Leonie who wished that she could have done her sister's hair and make-up one last time.

Kyle* had a falling out with his family and even after 8 years was not on speaking terms his parents and siblings. He has been thinking about reaching out to attempt to make amends but has not mustered the courage yet. If he had to pass on today, there are so many things that would be left unsaid. 
 

These types of problems could be avoided if there was a service that allowed for someone to save important messages sent should they pass on. A service that allows one to:

  • Store important financial information
  • Store passwords for digital services
  • Store ad-hoc last requests
  • Store heartfelt messages
  • Anything that is important to be shared after you pass on

Remember Blue was developed as a simple, effective and free to use solution to resolve these and many other problems in three easy steps:

  • Create a profile
  • Draft your messages
  • Assign one or more trustees
