A morbid question

mojo · #1 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 06

Do you ever wonder, if you died, who would come to your funeral? i have thought about this many times in my life...and im not sure why...but did again tonight so i thought i'd ask here.

is it just me? AM I ABNORMAL???????

you're not abnormal at all. unless i'm also abnormal.

i always think about that. not only who would come, but who would cry, etc...

I've also thought of that as well...actually just recently....

, weird

It's just another one of those "pity yourself" schticks.

i think about that all the time.....i think its quite common for people to do that. i had a very lucid vision of my funeral once

i always wonder that every once in a while..

but now i know just about no one will go because i have planned out my funeral and everyone i describe it to does not want to go..

i had a dream about my funeral before..i saw bodies of ppl but no faces..it was a weird dream~

its not really a morbid question... and no i dont think about this.

i mean, lets turn the tables, would you show up to just any funeral that you heard of where you might have known the person in the slightest degree?

close friends and family are sort of obvious.. but anyone else, i would just feel uncomfortable attending their funeral.

dead baby jokes are morbid, the question above.. not so much

everyone wants to be remembered
its natural
so we re-assure ourselves that we "matter" by wonderin who's lives we've touched in such a way for them to pay their last respects

well, your deffinatly not alone...i ponder that thought once in a while... i think everyone does

crookedking · #12 (**permalink**) Jan 20, 06

you people are fucked.

I don't want a funeral.... last thing I want is people being all teary-eyed over me. I'd much rather have everyone get together and celebrate my life than feel sorry that it's over.

Sure, I know that's odd.... but yeah...

Like seriously, I've always just worried about what I was going to wear...

I wonder that. And I don't think it's a "pity me" thing...
Most people's funerals are probably filled with many people whose loss really won't impact their life that much. Funerals and memorials are attended with a certain degree of formality, I guess. And I always wonder about those people on the news who speak out about someone's death and how much that person meant to them. I don't think you need a public outlet for those kinds of sentiments, so I always find it a bit cheap...

I plan on havin' a death party if i get the chance.

Like Leary did.:Acidic:

My dad died in August of '03. I saw people at his funeral I've never seen before in my life.
