Describe this after death reunion. What would that look like? Is everyone who ever lived wandering around in the ether somewhere? When you die does it mean that you will be transported to the spot where all the people you want to see again are located? If that's the case, what about the other people and who they wanted to be reunited with? Is it some huge party where everyone you ever knew and cared about are waiting for your arrival.
That doesn't make any sense. All those people you want to be reunited with would also have a list of people they want to be reunited with and those people may not be the same as those on your list. Do you see how it really can't work?
For the people in your life that you love and care about, talk to them now. Let you know how you feel now. Ask them questions now. Enjoy them now.
Wrapping up a relationship with someone who is dying over a period of days, weeks, months, years is hard enough. You will almost always think of a conversation that you wished you had but didn't. For those who die suddenly and unexpectedly, that opportunity is lost.
If you are always living for some tomorrow you are going to miss today.

I guess, but then I don't think too much about the far future. Better to dwell on what you have now and enjoy while it lasts.

It's only depressing to those still living. The only point of a funeral, also, is for the living who are grieving. The dead, after all, simply don't care because they are completely gone.

Capt. Kirk said that at Spock's funeral. That scene brought tears to my eyes the first time I saw it.
