This is a morbid question... but at your funeral

[Anonymous]

Who/how many people will be there?
I think there will be like a dozen at mine depending on any extended family that survives me. But it could be as small as 4. Is that sad?

I'll do it over zoom and pay for followers

It won't be a funeral but a huge party with free food and booze. So, a lot!

Same.

We are a family of introverts. None of us will get well-attended funerals.

And that's perfectly fine!

I don't want a funeral. I'd like to be buried under a beautiful tree and hopefully just my kids, grandkids and dh will be there, maybe a song or a poem and that's it. I need to work on finding where that tree will be. Home burials are legal in many states.

I won't have a funeral or to be buried. Just cementation and throw away the ashes. Nobody will care anyway. Nobody would come to my funeral or be sad I'm dead.

I want to be cremated. I would like a memorial that's basically a party. I don't want a huge funeral with a bunch of people crying. I'm not Christian and have been traumatized by my experiences with Christian family members and "Christian values". I will make it known that at my memorial, no one is to be praying and no minsters should be giving any kind of speeches.

Beyond that, I would like to have a selection of music picked out to have played, some drinks and food for people to have, and I would want people to wear rainbow colors cause I'm LGBT and I lost a lot coming out of the closet and being me. I don't want anyone there that's wearing black or that feels ashamed to be seen wearing rainbow colors. If you're scared someone might think you're gay then you're not invited. I want a queer party basically.

I want to be cremated and the ashes can be thrown in the river. I recently planned my sister's funeral and the prices are shocking!

I hope for a gigantic affair with all the ceremonies conducted according to my specific and detailed preferences, including an accompanying orchestra and large choir.

Depending on when I go I have a shot at a modest but dignified send off attended by a reasonable number of people who genuinely care about me.

I’m all for large, boozy funeral feasts. The last one I went to was at the deceased’s home, and his kids used his indoor and outdoor cooking equipment to make all of the specialties he had taught them to prepare. It was great.

If I died tomorrow-a lot of people.

If I die as an old lady-who knows? Presumably my kids and their families, but beyond that? I’m the youngest by a chunk so may outlive my siblings. Not especially close to my nieces as bad nephews. My cousins mainly live overseas. Hopefully I’ll have some local friends!

IDGAF. I’ll be dead.

Wends on how old I am when I die. If I’m old, then hopefully just my kids and leftover family. Maybe a good friend or two. If soon, it would be a tragedy and hundreds.

Really, this.

But when my mom died her wishes was to have a Celebration of Life gathering where we served wine, beer and all her favorite desserts. Held it at one of her favorite restaurants. People got up to toast her, share memories while many others listened. It was perfect.

Maybe 2. Perhaps a few more if my kid is married and has a family. I don’t really intend to plan anything- just be cremated and ask my kid to scatter the ashes somewhere pretty.
