Over My Dead Body
An experimental service that matches clients with artists can design their dream memorial
OMDB stands for ‘Over My Dead Body’.
Dreamt up whilst walking through Paris’ famed Père Lachaise Cemetery in 2010, and established in 2018, OMDB deals with death differently. A personal consulting service, launching November 2, 2018 – the Day of the Dead – OMDB removes the stigma surrounding the conversation of death whilst creating compelling artworks that celebrate life.
OMDB help their clients design how they choose to be remembered. Whether their wish is to work with a world-class sculptor, artist, architect, or landscape architect – OMBD creatively directs this process, bringing the combined vision to fruition. The sole aim is to create special edifices – however big or small, physical or digital – making memorial masterpieces of their client’s life.
