Have you ever thought about your own funeral?

I know this is morbid but I have I want it to be raining heavily and inside the church when everyone is seated I want the priest to play tacoma trailer by leonard cohen such a sad and beautiful instrumental. That should get all the people weeping there arses off then after I have been burried I want the sun to come out and shine through a gap in the clouds. cool

By the way if you have never heard tacoma trailer its below.

I don't want a funeral at all. Stupid outdated ritual IMHO. When I die, burn my body and move along....

I don't want a funeral, I want a party!
I'd like those who attend to have a laugh and remember the good times we shared rather than endure a solemn ceremony or memorial, as there'll be plenty of time later for those quiet moments of reflection, etc.

Not necessarily my own funeral, but death and how final it is, without any closure. In the past year I have lost 4 ppl close to me and it does bring on thoughts of my own mortality...

Funerals are a waste of valuable resources.

I'd rather not thinking about any funerals. I got my very own perception of death due to the fact my mum widowed when I was only one. Dealing with death an funerals can be really confusing for a toddler, on the other hand you're well taught about the meaning of it all before being mature enough to get it. At the moment I prefer shelter myself in my own childish thoughts like "I'm never gonna die!" nana
Is there any place of refuge one can flee from this insanity
