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?

Having recently attended my little brothers funeral, I have thought about this a lot. Right now, I don’t think there would be very many people there and I think I’m OK with that. I just don’t have a lot of IRL personal connections. My brothers funeral was massive. Hundreds of people, 30+ speakers, it was moving. He touched a lot of peoples lives. But that’s who he was. Who I am is different and my impact on the world is different, and that’s OK. Ultimately, I think the world that I leave behind won’t be all that different. Since Andrew passed; the world is not that different. It most certainly is WAY different for me personally and for my family. But, the rest of the world goes on. Anyway, idk where any of this is going. But your questions spoke to me so I wanted to reply. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll keep it low key. My body shall be anointed with oils infused with rare herbs and spices and dressed in a ceremonial garment incrusted with precious stones. After spending three days and nights of public display on a slab of fine Cararra marble, it will be placed in a crystal sarcophagus and paraded around the country on a gold carriage pulled by 60 horses while a week-long national mourning is in effect. The horses shall then be sacrificed while Vestal Virgins wail and pull their hair in the background. A twelve-feet tall funeral pyre made of the tallest Lebanese cedars shall be erected. Attendees wearing only black robes will be invited to throw jewelry, myrrh, and even themselves into the flames while white doves are released. Then the whole neighborhood shall be razed to make room for a gilded pyramid holding only my cremated ashes and gems worth the GDP of a small country, watched over in perpetuity by a honor guard of loyalists. The whole time, Darude’s Sandstorm will play on loudspeakers.

This is darker than I like to get but it’s also got me interested. My hope is that I’m remembered as the person that always saw the positives and always encouraged and cheered people on. Everything else doesn’t matter as much.

I have requested “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince be played at the end & have told my family that if they don’t play it I’ll haunt them forever. Ideally I’d like a mechanism that allows access to my wallet only if those wishes are met. (why? a lil something upbeat and fun as a send off that’s why)

No idea, but I'd like it to be a big celebration, a crazy party of people who were more happy to have had me in their lives.

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)

If it is real (that we design now our end) I build up a very lonely and intimate funeral. Keeping in mind that moving to Japan already cut off all of my Italian family and friends, and marrying a woman from a very little family, it would be probably me, my wife and my 3 daughters (+ daughters relatives). I don’t know if it’s good or not but reflect perfectly who I am and what I cared all my life.

If they aren't playing Verdi's requiem I'm not going. Also pls burn me and spread my ashes around someone's apple tree or cherry tree garden. Like in the Japanese Fairlytale The Old Man Who Made Flowers Bloom.. I hope many of them have some sort of memorabilia of me, a book i gave them, a postcard etc and so they can just bring those and exchange the (hopefully) positive impact I've had. And then there will be lots of cake and coffee and well.. for the more alcoholically inclined wine.

it will be diverse, different peoples, lives, cultures, religions, politics, etc. some guys will smoke weed before, other guys will shotgun beers after. lots of memories, things people never thought could go together. it will be nice, i hope they enjoy the time left after. someone might even draw a marker dick on my face, who knows. fun stories

who's going to be there? probably only immediate family members who would possess living memory, ig what are they going to say? idk, "this person was good"? how will they feel/going to do? I couldn't speak to that. hopefully living memory is a motivating force for others in the ways that I care about. what will the world that I leave behind look like? just a little more shade. just a little more coordination. maybe a lot more informed, circumspect, and homeostatic. considerably more hope borne on accelerating/catalyzing the technosphere. but I'm not dead yet.

This is way too much to answer. My daughter and I talk about it a lot. I have a whole Pinterest board somewhere 😂 When we lost our partner/parent, dark humor became family tradition For sure there will be Mariachi and a sermon emphasizing impermanence of life from an atheist perspective.

Mine is gonna be lit, my feet will replace my head and my coffin will be made of years worth of my clipped toe nails. Then there's gonna be a big rave with retired DJs in walkers. Rave to the grave.

Actually I thought about it a few times, and the only thing I'm sure is that I want them to play that: https://open.spotify.com/track/3MrRksHupTVEQ7YbA0FsZK?si=yCIQzI_4QfWNuq6upNYeDg

It basically depends on how good a life you’ve lived, and don’t get me wrong you may still live a good life and end up having a clueless funeral,..I just want mine to be normal no too much sadness because death is as normal as birth when it’s not premature:)
