I have and I think it's really, really weird. But that's kind of an arbitrary thing, how you deal with the remains of a loved one is obviously a pretty socially defined thing.

Yes. In my area, people have friends and family all over the place. For practical reasons (age, disability, finances, military service, jobs, kids in school, confinement to nursing facilities or hospitals, etc), this is practical. Elderly in homes wouldn't necessarily have tablets or email accounts for FB, but a visiting friend or family member does.
