It may already be decided who will inherit Grandma's old mirror, photo album or saved letters. You may also have thought about what music you want at your funeral - if you even want one.

But what's going to happen with your digital heritage - all photos, tweets, status updates and emails - aren't always as obvious. Should someone inherit the pictures, should everything be deleted or maybe you want to leave a memory page behind you?

Current issue

It is becoming increasingly common that the more than 90,000 people who die in Sweden each year leave email boxes, Facebook profiles and other accounts behind them, according to Peter Göransson, communications manager at Fonus.

"Of those who are now deceased, it is believed that between 30,000 and 40,000 per year also have some kind of account that lives on online if no one does something," he says.

With the 1940's big children's litters, the issue will also become more and more relevant for the funeral industry in the coming years, believes Peter Göransson.

- Therefore, it is good that we are prepared and also have discussions with the various players, so that they keep up and that we get flexible solutions, he says.

Passwords in will

Sweden's authorized burial agencies, for example, have the free service Life Archive, where in addition to storing important documents such as wills, cohabitation agreements or insurance papers, you can also specify what you want to happen with Facebook and other digital accounts. Fonus has a similar service, the White Archives. There are also a number of different payment services that relate to digital life after that.

- Another possibility is that if you write a will, which many need to do, you can also enter passwords etc in the will, says Peter Göransson.
