New philosophy focused on the preservation of each individual's legacy and new eco-friendly burial technologies.
KNOXVILLE, Tennessee, July 22nd 2007 - The Memoreum Group has publicly announced a plan to redefine how the deceased are honored, remembered and interred into the earth.
The project will incorporate a mortuary service using innovative eco-friendly technologies, a blog/journal website whose data will be preserved indefinitely and a website to help organize funerals and act as a repository for the memories of friends and family. The final project will combine all the services into an ancestral museum for the public display of personal artifacts. This will include the display and archiving of accumulated biographical information from the two websites on multimedia kiosks in the Memoreum facility set on a large property containing gardens where trees are used in place of tombstones by way of new eco-friendly burial methods.
"We believe that ordinary lives contain extraordinary moments worthy of immortalizing for future generations. Our goal is to provide peace of mind in times of mortal loss by creating a philosophy that honors those who have passed, records their stories and perpetuates life after life through new eco-friendly burial processes" said Christopher Cantley, Chief Executive Officer of the Memoreum Group.
"Many cultures through time have honored the deceased by passing down the experiences and stories of their lives. By sharing in accomplishments and tragedies of those passed, the subjects become examples of life's lessons. Many of the stories that have survived have become legends. We are taking this ancient oral tradition and applying it to today's technology, in a way that people are already familiar with. The current funeral industry focuses on comforting the living with little attention to the preservation of the life that was lived. It is our philosophy that comfort comes to the living when the lives of the deceased are preserved and available for future generations and interred back into nature through the representation of something warm and living versus cold and of stone."
The Memoreum Group started research and development in January of 2006 building to a soft release of their website at www.memoreumgroup.org. Development of the LifeScribe.org website, a blog/journal life archive is underway with an expected release in the first quarter of 2008.
Executives of the Memoreum Group have been in negotiations to either use or franchise products by companies developing innovative and eco-friendly burial processes including the Promessa Foundation, a Swedish company who is in the late stages of creating a machine that will render remains to dust, not ash, that can be quickly absorbed back into the surrounding plant life.
After almost 2 years of research and feedback from the greater community The Memoreum Group has opened its doors to investors who are willing to invest both in the philosophical aspect of the joint projects as well as the financial.
