iGrave GPS device ‘seriously’ helps people track relatives’ coffin

If you thought ‘Hello Cow’ is a weird app or ‘Annoy-a-Teen’ sounds thoroughly eccentric, then you might have to shift your thoughts around. American funeral directors recently developed the strangely useful iGrave, their first GPS device that enables people to track their relative’s coffin. Sounds a bit too far-out, doesn't it?

Well, the newly unleashed app benefits from GPS satellite tracking that allows users to find their loved ones in a natural burial site. Integrated with a powerful, long lasting battery status, iGrave is basically based on systems generally used to find out buried water pipes or gas mains.

Enclosed in a compact form factor, the device not only lets one find the exact location of their loved one’s grave, but also ensures the coffin isn't lost. However, according to Joe Canaday of Hippensteel Funeral Service and Crematory, iGrave experience is quite a lot like reading a particular bar code.

Though it may sound really weird to some, but the solution emerges to be highly purposive for people who need a reliable medium to get directed to their destination. Quite interestingly, the caskets or graves which remain unmarked in the natural burial sites can now be conveniently located. So finally, it’s a relief to those who ever felt a dearth of tracking their relative’s coffin.

Hopefully, the new device created by American funeral directors will simplify several things for people out there. But, the makers have nowhere divulged details on the device’s mechanism. However, it appears that deceased ones receive a significant GPS transmitter disk in the center of their casket.

Nevertheless, the new iGrave GPS device is yet to divulge details on its pricing and availability.
