honestly, i will be upset if there is some type of spiritual world, and i'm looking down at my funeral with a bunch of people there that didn't bother to call or text or see me while i was alive!
does this sound stupid? 
Not at all.
Personally I want my remains to get a decent Viking funeral in a burning boat so that as many people as possible can attend. Then, for those who only see me when they want something, I want a plane flying over towing a banner saying, "You come to see me when there's free food, right, fuckers!" Haha. I pictured someone staring up at the sky and suddenly stop chewing.

I thought I loved you before, but now I really love you.  What a kick ass funeral, if there is such a thing!

I'll take a page out of Louis C.K.'s routine and say, I'll let anyone buy my body after I'm dead and do whatever the hell they want to it. I'll just stipulate that the money goes to my kids/family. I won't mind, I'm dead!

The way I see it, funerals are for the living, not for the dead. My loved ones can do whatever the heck they want with my body lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yup, and if my family really, really wants to use my body in a box to dress me up in pretty clothes and cry over a hole in the ground, then there's nothing I can do to stop it! But personally, I don't really mind what happens to my body, though I'd rather it be used to bring some pleasure or research or progress.

Oh I think it's wonderful, of course.
