With the myGoodbye app, they can record all their wishes in a clear overview, so you know how to shape their farewell in a personal way.
What should happen with your digital legacy?
In a world where you live increasingly online, the question of what should happen with social media accounts, online subscriptions and digital photos becomes more relevant. Do your parents know, for example, whether their Facebook account should receive a memorial status? Through myGoodbye, you can arrange these matters.
