Tragic disappointment

What are you guys doing to give back to your friends/family or ease the suffering of your loss? For me:
- donating my hair. I have long healthy curly hair, so a few weeks before I CTB I'm going to cut it all off and donate it
- donating blood. I've never done it because I'm scared of needles but I might as well
- writing a will. I'm quite young to have one of these but my union membership allows me to do this for free. I've accumulated a decent amount of material assets over the years, most of which I plan to give to my 3 younger siblings, and the rest to friends.
- giving instructions on what I want to happen after my passing. I don't want it to have to be the responsibility of anyone else.
- paying off my lease. I don't want to have to force my roommates (my partner and one of my best friends) to urgently find new housing or be forced to break lease. I have enough in savings that I should be able to leave enough to them that they can pay off rent until our lease expires.
- being an organ donor. If I hang myself and am found within about 15-30 mins (I think I can make this happen by calling myself and implementing measures to slow them down) I may still be able to donate my organs.
- cleansing my digital footprint. I never want anyone to see my posts on this site or the amount of suicide notes I've written and deleted. I'll make sure only happy memories are left.
I really don't want my passing to be more of a burden than it already will be. Is there anything I've missed that I can do to make it easier?
