What is your funeral going to look like?

They say you have to design with the end goal in mind and work backwards. Ok let’s say I buy into that. Who’s going to be there? What are they going to say? What are they going to do and how will they feel? What will the world that you leave behind look like?

My friend and I were recently having a convo on something similar and he said something very striking: you die twice, first the actual physical death bit, second is when the last person who’s known you dies. 

So I think I’d optimise for continuing to be present post first phase - how do you accomplish that? Maybe setting up little reminders for the people you love - almost like a scavenger hunt of self that delivers something very you at a regular cadence (I’m not talking haunting hahaha)

Powerful quote for sure
