At this final gathering, 'Remember Me' is a new type of memorial service or-ganized by funeral service providers. They create a special high-tech candle using important moments from the deceased person's life, whether in the real world or online. When the person passes away, this candle will lit up at a specific place and time. It's a chance for friends and family to come together to remember and honor the person. As the candle burns, it shows beautiful memories and, at the same time, de-letes the person's online information and data. People who attend the event can enjoy this moment to recall all the experiences they had with the person. Why do they delete the online information? The providers say, 'In today's world, when someone passes away, they often leave a lot of information online. Sometimes, others use this information without permission to make new things or even try to recreate the person, using technology. Many people see this as disrespectful to the person's rights, like trying to make them live forever online. So, they want all their online data to be removed after they pass away.' As the candle slowly burns out over time, friends and family can watch these memories one last time. It's like a gentle reminder from the person who passed away, saying, 'Please remember me.' The most important memories are saved for the most important people. Because it's the 'last time,' these beautiful memories become even more valuable. 'Remember Me' is a special and emotional event that makes memories feel even more precious because there are no backups, and it adds a touch of poetry to saying goodbye.
