Russian entrepreneur aims to launch ‘Uber for funerals’

It has all the convenience and technical pizzazz of the transportation network Uber, but it helps you arrange funerals, not rides. A project manager working at the Russian Internet giant Yandex is designing an app called ‘Umer‘ (“Died” in Russian) — a service built to help people overcome the logistical difficulties of putting a loved one to rest.

Umer estimates funeral costs and aggregates all the documentation required to register a death and make funeral arrangements. According to Dmitriy Geranin, the man behind the app, it will offer a range of mortuary options, including both conventional burials and cremation.
