may not be the post-mortem messenger of choice. Turns out FinalPartings.com delivers the goods by land as well as by e(mail).

So, the choice is yours: you can die with one, or you can die with the other. 'Course, you could really take a walk on the wild side and go bare.

My Last Email says they are solid but their are no links to the companies they mention.
