Discussion Anyone else think their obituary is going to suck?

[MAIO]

Hardly anyone at funeral etc

 

[15dec]

I've made requests for my funeral, eulogists, scattering of ashes, etc. As long as they're followed I'll be happy.

Same

I'm not writing a note of my life. Just maybe something like "I killed myself. This world is fucking insane so bye" or something like that. I feel like the news would misgender me. Perhaps I should write my name and pronouns on my note...

 

[Comatose11]

I doubt there will be a funeral or ceremony for me. That's okay. If there was, just my immediate family would show up.

 

[TAW122]

I don't really mind (as I'll be dead). I mean, my life sucked anyway so it's not like it will magically or miraculously just get better. There may be some people (who never had anything to do with me nor really liked me) coming out of the woodwork just to virtue signal, however, I won't be there to experience their fake bullshit, which ok to me.

As John lennon said "everybody loves you when you're six feet under"
It would surprise you how popular you become when you die! And you're probably worth more dead than alive, I've had employers who pay out three times your annual salary if you die in their employment. If you're also in a union they'll pay out death benefits too.

The funeral company would be happy at least, as long as they get money shoved down their throat.

 

[Johnnythefox]

Yeah death is big business.

 

[Jane Doe]

I know my funeral will be a big affair, friends, family, work colleagues etc everyone crying saying how sad it is but no one knows the real me. No one knows me well enough to pick my favourite song, write about the true me. They think they do, but they dont.

I think I will do the same

 

[LiveSlowDieFast]

Yeah, at my grandma's funeral they handed out little leaflets with her picture on it and beneath it said (in German): "This funeral has been conducted by [name of the funeral company]!". The whole tone of it was as if it was for a really fun party or something. I was like "WTF?"

 

[Johnnythefox]

I might make a photo video of my life up till now interspersed with my favourite songs. I did one before a couple of years ago when I had a cancer scare, I've also thought of just doing my own service on video. Although I should do a will I can't get motivated to, so will likely type a letter and post a copy to each family member..

 

[Severen]

If all goes according to my plan though, nobody will find my corpse. Because I don't want people to see my corpse, touch it, mutilate it, play with it etc... I also don't want a pic of it to end up on the internet or even worse, on the news so people can leave dumb ass comments about my suicide, talk shit about me and get satisfaction from my death. I just want to disappear. I plan on CTBing in the middle of nowhere. Pics and/or video footage or whatever of my corpse would be more traumatic for my mother too.

 

[MsM3talGamer]

I have no interest in how I'll be remembered. No really knows the true me or my interests and hobbies anyway. Tbh I'd rather be forgotten and erased from this bollocks existence. I feel that I ended here by accident.

 

[Chinaski]

Anything less than this and I'll be bitterly disappointed tbh

 

[ReadyasEver]

I'll to spell it out the best I can, with strict instructions to my son to give the oncologist the finger if he shows up. Prescribed shitloads of Chemo treatments with really no chance of success, just an extension. Guy probably needed to pay off his beach house or Mercedes.

My progression as a person has not shown in any material ways because I've basically just been existing for years. I like to think that I've mentally matured though.

But people do have good memories of me, so I think people would come. I'm not sure if what people believed would be accurate, but I don't think a person's grieving process needs to have an accurate view of the person.

The only thing people would get right is how I was a loss of potential.
