Digital Life Legacy Masterclass
These days, everyone leaves behind an online legacy – and that calls for action.
In the report ‘Data after death’, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations calls on the funeral and aftercare sector to create more awareness around digital legacy. But why wait for awareness when you can make a difference today? Seize this opportunity to enrich your services. Because every deceased person leaves behind more than just tangible possessions—think social media, cloud storage, email accounts, and cryptocurrency. And every surviving relative has questions: what should be done with it, is it allowed, and how does it work technically?
During the Digital Legacy Masterclass, you’ll learn why digital legacies are essential in (arrangement) conversations, how to provide surviving relatives with clear explanations and feasible solutions, and how to structurally incorporate digital aftercare into your services
Curious how you can approach this professionally and practically? Register for the masterclass and become the specialist who truly helps families move forward.
