“There are many things we want to say to the people we love. But more often than not, we don’t say them because we don’t want to, because we don’t know how to, and sometimes, we never get to because it’s just too late.”



Based on this premise, Singaporean design graduate Corina Tan came up with an app that allows you to plan in advance your last words and the memories you want your loved ones to remember you by.



Named ‘The Last Of Me’, the app allows you to customize art prints based on your desired last words. There is also a wide selection of quotes available for you to choose from if you are at a loss for words.



The team will then conduct a daily scanning of obituaries to check if anyone in their database has passed on. After which, they would then produce the prepared items and have it delivered to the recipient.



Currently in the process of “looking for funding, research testing, app coding and developing, publicity and marketing”, Tan says she hopes to ease the “taboo topic” of death, and make the whole death experience less jarring for those who are left behind.
