Here's how to speak to your loved ones after you die

Even after death, some people have found ways to communicate with the living using technology.

Earlier this month, an Irish man played his final prank on his loved ones when a relative played a pre-recorded message as if he were shouting from his casket.

In a video that his daughter posted on social media -- which quickly went viral -- it appears as if Defense Forces veteran Shay Bradley is asking to be let out of the casket as his relatives laugh at the prank.

App-Based Will 

To avoid leaving your loved ones overwhelmed by decisions to make about what to do with your belongings or how to deal with your estate, an app called After can help.

The app’s website explains that when people set up an account, they designate trustees to receive the information they provide, which can include funeral arrangements, personal messages and how to deal with belongings.

Though the app makes clear it's not meant to replace an actual will, After does help loved ones understand a person’s wishes.
