My thoughts are the dead guy shouldn't get to decide how they're grieved cause you're dead and the people who feel like grieving together should just like...not do a whole ritual thing. But since the whole ritual thing is what would be decided for me if my parents outlive me, I need a contingency plan. I will make my funeral wishes absolutely impossible to tske seriously but also legally binding so it's either no funeral or the dumbest shit anyone has ever been to. So far I've got thar I want it held in a bouncy castle, and that representatives of as many religions as they can get to do their funeral stuff at the same time and to only play Bolt Thrower

    I have a little money set aside for catering and hiring a rave promoter to hype up my funeral.

          The layer would care. He is a nerd but I'd also be dead, so he'd be holding all.the cards. He could just cross thst part out if he wanted. What would my family do sue him?

    secretly tell one person (not in your will) that you request a group of total strangers attend the funeral and tell made up stories to the whole crowd. these people are not allowed to attend any post-memorial service events and are not to contact any other attendants to the funeral.

    Have a moment of silence while playing Derude's Sandstorm

    "I always wanted to see Derude in concert, but never made it. Please respect my wishes."

          Like...no. A decent amount of my friends are homeless or pretty close to it and have been. Making them fight over the absolute pittamce I could toss down (less than $1000 if my stuff was sold) would be pretty gross.

    Scoop out any organs that can be donated and then barbecue the rest. Have signs outside saying if anyone's ever been curious about long pig, they're probably not gonna get another chance.

    Make a playlist of songs you think will really broaden their horizons and they have to listen to the whole thing at your funeral no talking just sitting and listening.

    Instead of a priest have a speaker that broadcasts "the revolution will not be televised" with a sick drop. This is when the whole thing turns into a rave, and everyone has to show up dressed as their favourite communist.

    Loss is sad. Better to party and celebrate life together, at least for one night.

    I'd say donating your body to a college that's good about recognizing Palestine could do a lot of good. I think allowing a viewing and then doing a very low carbon funeral could be good. Like not getting embalmed would be cheap and leave your family too financially be okay.

    I'd say ensure your pronouns and identifying traits are visible and written down legally could be another thing to consider.

    I have personal opinions, but I hope this is a good start..
