AN American inventor wants to patent a way of sending a message from beyond the grave - a video-screen tombstone.

The device is the brainchild of Robert Barrow of Burlingame, California, the British weekly New Scientist reports in Saturday's issue.

The hollow headstone houses a computer with a hard disc or memory chip that allows the deceased to relay a video message via a flat LCD touch screen.

"They might relate their life stories... or worse: they could confess to lurid indiscretions," the British weekly says.
