Is this a morbid joke or a serious application? The latter seems to be the case. Wayne Perry, president of GSC Products, the company that created the app, says he's gotten over a thousand requests for the app after posting a video of his memorial for Michael Jackson on YouTube. Perry also explains how he'd gotten the idea to create the application:

"I was thinking of my grandparents and other deceased relatives buried in different cemeteries around the country. I also thought of pets I've lost over the years. I thought how I'd like to visit their graves on a regular basis, but it's simply impossible. That's when the idea hit me. If I could carry the memories of departed loved ones on my iPhone, I could pay my respects whenever I feel like it. Even though they're buried in different places and some have even been cremated, I wanted to find a way to bring them all together."

Check out an introductory video below, and/or purchase the application for $2.99 in the Apple App Store.
