The Company
PartingWishes.com is a privately held corporation based in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, providing services which span the globe. We
are an independent organization, not tied to a funeral home or law firm.
We provide services which make use of the
ultimate convenience of the Internet and the latest in secure encryption
technologies. Formed in September 2000, we have a dedicated team devoted
to ensuring the best customer service possible, as well as an extensive list
of partners and private investors.
Our mandate is to allow people to document, maintain and
communicate their parting wishes in a very easy, convenient, private, secure and cost-effective
manner, without the need to pay for the high expenses of a lawyer. This includes U.S., Canadian and
international legal documents such as wills (Last Will and Testament), power
of attorney, living wills, funeral plans, online memorials, last messages,
medical health care directives, estate planning and other advance directives.
But we go far beyond any do-it-yourself kit or online
repository of legal forms and documents. If you wish, all of your legal
documents can be stored and maintained by you online, in a completely
private and secure manner. This will ensure that you can keep it updated to
reflect any changes in your financial or family situation.
The PartingWishes.com web site allows members to document their Last Will and Testament, Living Will, Power of Attorney and
Funeral Wishes. In addition, members can create messages to be sent
after they have passed away and they can also create a permanent online
memorial web site about their life which only becomes active after they are
gone. PartingWishes.com uses a unique Member-Keyholder® relationship,
which ensures that the information created by the member is completely
secure, yet available to their designated personal Keyholders® only at the
appropriate time.
