There would definitely be people at my funeral who remember me treating them in the ways described in Hurt! A long time ago in a previous life.
It’s odd this isn’t it. It’s completely inevitable yet (hardly) nobody wants to talk about it. You don’t even have the right to help ending your own life if that’s your wish, if you are in screaming pain 24h day or practically brain dead.
Silence so everyone can sit and contemplate how lucky they were to know me and feel guilty for any time they annoyed me. I shall pass into the furnace soundtracked by an awkward silence
My grandmother likes to tell stories about various scientific luminaries that had “deathbed conversions” to Christianity. I never took her seriously until I saw this tweet:
Now im planning a funeral with music heavily inspired by Christian theology: starting with Ozzy & Nine Inch Nails. For some biblically accurate angels, I’ll have some big screens setup where the younger generation can play all of the Bayonetta games released during my lifetime.
More seriously: an environmentally sensitive cremation and either burial at sea or dispersal of ashes into the winds atop a mountain appeal most to me. Environmental sounds at either location should be more than suitable.
An industrial funeral-rave at what was once the Limelight would be amazing though.
We did this with my father. It was his idea, a good one too, now we can go climb the mountain (more of a hill really) on Father’s Day and remember him. Of course the wind blew the wrong way at the exact wrong moment, and a good bit of the ashes blew all over us!
