When Carl Minardo dies, he knows exactly who will be delivering the eulogy at his funeral – himself. The businessman has recorded a ten-minute hologram eulogy, which includes him holding a martini and saying to mourners: ‘I’m talking to you personally because I want to express from my heart how important you all were and how much better my life has been with you in it. ‘Some people have described it as creepy or freaky, but many think it’s a great idea,’ Mr Minardo said. And last week the family of the late Amy Winehouse announced she would ‘tour’ next year in hologram form. It’s for the person watching rather than the person who is deceased, and the hope is you’re providing something more meaningful.
