Karachi’s online graveyard

[Karachi's Online Graveyard] http://www.wadi-a-hussain.com – The Website of a Karachi’s online graveyard. This is first experience of a virtual graveyard in Muslim world. You can search the graves with different criteria, use “Call Service” for different graveyard services and most of all you can download or stream the funeral movie clips.

I think it is a good step especially for those living abroad. But the virtual graveyard visiting can never replace the essence of actually visiting the graveyard for your loved ones and performing all those rituals. Our religion asks us to visit graveyards and offer prays, and there are certainly several spiritual benefits of it. But as our ulema get to know about it, this matter can get controvercial.
