Embracing technology is allowing for some surprising ways to cherish those who've died.

A heartbreaking (but also heartwarming) reel posted by the conversation cards on Instagram has revealed a surprising way in which technology is changing the world of remembering the deceased.

The video is accompanied with captions that state that this particular dance was the couple’s last favorite moment together.

The post came with many positive comments, with one person stating: “The moments that make life worth living.” Whereas another commenter pointed out: “Beautiful what a wonderful thing technology can be used like this.”
