What would your funeral be like?

Anyone plan their own funeral?

 

[rokonie]

I wouldn't want one, i dont think anyone outside of my immediately family would show up. My family are immigrants so my extended family can't come overseas (my grandma is too old, uncle is busy with his job, aunt went no-contact). I've lost touch with all my irls and haven't seen them most of them in two years. I've been lying to my parents that i have friends because it makes them happy to believe i have a social life, i wouldn't want this to be their way of finding out i actually have no one at all.

I want a Latin Catholic funeral with the litany of saints and incense and all the creepy prayers for the dead that they had back in the day.

Hopefully a party! Ill be partying in the afterlife after all, and laughing at the ones I leave behind. For me death is just not negative in the least, but just moving on to the next level, not something to be mourned or sad about tho..

I don't really care because I hate events, but I just hope people aren't there pretending like I was close with them

Well my family is muslim so it's necessary for them to burry me as they are religious. I wouldn't want them to spend money on my funeral and people visiting my grave but it is what it is, which is quite sad for me as that's what I'll have to accept before I CTB. For me it doesn't matter as I'd be fully unaware after death but it still feels a little bit guilty leaving them behind in pain I caused just to stop my own. At the same time it's also very unfair that life is like this, nobody chose to be here in the first place so why can't we leave peacefully. I'll probably do it impulsively at my worst state because I already did once and failed unfortunately.

I don't want to have any type of funereal, I wish I could be cremated and that they would just forget about my existence thank u

 

[Fantasy22]

I don't want a funeral. If I have one I hope it's small and not some big thing. I'd rather jsut get it done and over with so I can finally rest even in death

 

[todiefor]

I paid for a direct to cremation service, so my parents wouldn't have to worry about a funeral, and also so they can say it was an accident or something that happened overseas, assuming they would want to hide it. I personally certainly wouldn't want a funeral, it's unnecessary attention, I just hope the less ppl affected the better, I would rather people think I've lost contact with them than that I've ctbed, I wouldn't want anyone feeling unnecessarily guilty, it certainly isn't any of my friend's fault.

Didn't plan a funeral because I'll be dead so I really don't care what happens. But if I had an option, I would hope that they would just dump me in the middle of the woods somewhere so I could fertilize a tree and never think about me ever again.

In my suicide note I wrote that I wanted to donate my organs and body to science. When nothing else can be extracted from you, you are cremated and your ashes are placed in a forest in Barco de Ávila, in the Sierra de Gredos, a wonderful place that always brought me peace when I looked at it.

But if I could choose, I would want a Viking funeral, with lots of Nordic or Celtic music.

 

[Dark Window]

I'd let my family decide. I don't want what happens at my funeral to be up to me because funerals are not for the dead but for the living to grieve or have some closure.

The funeral is not for you, it's for those who love/remember you.

 

[Zig]

I've never wondered about or planned my funeral specifically, but I do wonder about how people would react to/feel about my death. It's kind of disgusting, because it makes me feel like I only want to die to force people to pay attention and be affected by me. On the other hand, if I were to ever actually do it I would never use a method that has more than a 5% survival rate, so I would never be around to see their reactions. The torturous shame and pity that would come from surviving an attempt would be utterly excruciating to me.

Unfortunately, to donate your organs (at least, the ones you probably mean like heart, liver, etc), you have to die in a hospital as even a few minutes of deoxygenation can have detrimental effects on the organ if it's placed in another body. They are also hesitant by default to accept organs from suicide cadavers (especially if you mention it specifically in your suicide note), and will flatly not accept organs from certain methods like poisoning, drowning, exsanguinating. You would have to somehow engineer asphyxiation so that you were rushed to hospital and passed once you were there, which is almost impossible to do intentionally.

Anyone plan their own funeral?

No
I decided to let it be
I don't think they would honor my wishes
I also don't want anyone to attend because those same people left me
So why bother showing up to see the literally dead me
So I'm hoping they won't actually announce anything

 

[eatantz]

I don't want a funeral, all the people I hate would attend anyway. I just want them to donate my organs then burn the rest

 

[derpyderpins]

Situation matters. Did I ctb? die young? old age? Let's assume I drop dead randomly right now.

• My mother will be completely devastated. Her tendency to make everything about herself will somehow multiply x100000. I can't really imagine it. She might just die from the emotions.
• The people I actually care about - my love and closest friends - will be pushed aside by her. I don't like imagining it. I've really got to set my will up, tbh, so my partner can get everything.
• People who weren't actually that close to me will say nice stuff that would make me cringe if I heard it.
• People will talk about how much potential I had and what a shame it is.
• I guess I'm in this category now with my career - professional people/connections will show up to hobnob with each other and "be seen." Wouldn't put it past some fuckers I actively dislike to show up.
• Whatever service happens will probably include cliche stuff I would never approve of.
• I do know that some people would be genuinely sad, but most will quickly forget me after they leave the venue.

Honestly, throw me in the garbage can for all I care. Funerals are for the living.

In practice, I don't care.

If I could, I would plan a few things, for example I would like to be cremated.
But it doesn't matter much to me.

There will probably be relatively many people at my funeral because I am young and live in the countryside, so my death will be "noisy".

At this point, I'm only curious about what happens after death.
Maybe I can watch my funeral? It would be fun.
