The Moscow city hall said in a statement Thursday that free Wi-Fi will be available at the city's three main cemeteries starting next year because apparently people are dying to get a connection.

The idea is that the Wi-Fi will attract more visitors to the city's' historic cemeteries where many illustrious Russians have found a resting place including a couple of decomposing composers.

Some 120,000 people are buried in Moscow every year, with a further, smaller number cremated, presumably as a way to stay warm during the Russian winter.

More people are chosing to be buried with their gadgets because you are never sure if there are good technology stores in the afterlife, so this is one way to be sure that they can stay connected – at least until their battery dies and goes to its own afterlife.
