Wil Joosten, CEO of Funeplan Group B.V. (parent company of Digital Life Legacy), has been active in the funeral industry for over 25 years and provides innovative business services in this sector through several companies. Planuitvaart, Planafscheid, and Memorial Cube were already part of the product range, and Digital Life Legacy was recently acquired from ZDG in Houten.

The FunePlan App, a unique app for funeral directors and bereaved families, will be added to this list in early December 2024. Several existing products will be added to the FunePlan Group through acquisitions in the coming period.

Unlocking all these digital services will result in increasingly efficient working methods for funeral professionals, and this is what Wil stands for.

Mission

Digital Life Legacy aims to raise awareness of digital legacy. Our goal is to make all Dutch citizens aware of their digital assets, so they can transfer them to their descendants in a timely and proper manner.

Vision

Our vision is that in the future, people will have control over their international digital legacy, both during their lifetime and after their death. Ownership of both equipment and data will be transferred to the legal heir, if that is the person’s wish.
