• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Title.

Personally, I would want to stick around as a ghost or spirit to attend my funeral. It'd give me some insight into who all thought I was important enough, and might give me closure on what people "really" thought about me before I left the world (assuming they weren't performing, of course).

What about you? Would you attend your own funeral if given the chance, and why/why not?

To be frank I don't want others to waste time doing a funeral for me. I will request no funerals or events after I'm gone.

No, I never would want such a thing anyway, I just want to die in peace and be forgotten about like I never existed at all, if it's up to me I'd choose to erase my own existence.

That sounds like a paradox. How can I attend my own funeral if I'm dead? One of my reasons for wanting to be dead to begin with is because of how it gives permanent non existence hence the cessation of all experiences, thoughts and feelings. I want to be dead so that I'm not sentient at all and seeing my own funeral would imply that I do have sentience... which I don't want

I don't want a funeral anyway but no, I wouldn't want to witness it if I had one. I kind of doubt many people would go anyway. I live hundreds of miles away from family and friends- hence- I don't want them to feel obliged to travel all that way for some dry service. So, I'll likely prepay for a direct cremation. But no- there are people I'll be happy to get away from on this earth. One of the benefits of being dead will be not being obliged to see them at family do's!

I'd want to attend it just to see if they did what I wanted for it and if some people pretend to care just by showing up because it's a funeral and they have to.

No, I do not want to.
If I can exist as a "ghost" or something similar after death, it means that my new chapter and new life has begun.
Most likely, I would not want to draw attention to a past that would no longer matter at this point.

There is also a possibility that I will get emotional... it would be insulting to me.
I don't want to regret my fate.
Or at least I try not to.

I've always thought about how people would act at my funeral. When I was a kid, I imagined what it would be like and whether people would be sad or not. I don't want a funeral anymore though. I'd rather just say goodnight and go

Absolutely. I want an open casket funeral - I would enjoy seeing how I look embalmed. I try to picture it nearly everyday. I hope I am gifted the ability to look upon myself after I've been taken to the mortuary, I'm sure it would be a sight I'd want all to see.

No, my will specifies all I want is to be cremated and my ashes mixed with all my dogs and then spread where I have specified. I have seen alternative funeral services that I could have lived with(excuse the pun). But the traditional American funerals seem awful to me.

When I was a teenager I was curious about who would come to my funeral, who would cry, who would surprise me, etc. Mostly wondering about my classmates, and if my crush secretly liked me back lol.

As an adult, I would not, and don't want ANY kind of funeral. American funerals are the most awkward bullshit ever, and I don't want my family to get embarrassed by how few people show up. If they want to do a private memorial or something for their own sake, fine, but I want my ass cremated ASAP.

No.

First of all, I would hate to have a funeral. I would rather be completely forgotten.
I don't see the point of being remembered if I'm going to be forgotten anyway.

My existence doesn't make sense in a world where society is unable to understand me...

I don't even want a funeral. It's all superficial, indulgent bollocks.
I need no ceremony. Just shift my body somewhere it doesn't upset the kids as it starts to rot and be devoured.
I'm not religious and all these ceremonies do are line the pockets of an industry.

yes, it would be cool to mysteriously stand in the shadow of some tree, in a black trench coat and glasses, far away from your grave, smoking a cigarette while observing your own funeral. but back in real life i wouldn't want a funeral at all

I feel like I wrote this. Same thing. Don't think of me as much like I never existed. I wish I never did so I won't have to escape.

My wish is to be cremated.

To be honest the way my life is currently no I wouldn't. I don't even want a funeral. Just throw my ashes in the garbage and be done with it and move on. Let's say by some miracle my life gets back on track and I live a long life.... Then yeah probably.

I don't know, actually I want to come to my funeral but I'm afraid to know that no one feels sad or even no one comes, even when I used to be hospitalized or sick, almost no friends or acquaintances came to visit me, maybe I'm afraid knowing the fact that no one will care when I die.

I'm surprised at how many people are saying no. I would like to attend my own funeral to hear the things people have to say about me and the impact I've made. I have very low self esteem so maybe it would be healing for me.

id specify there wouldnt be a funeral, but my chosen family group does parties and memorial services in their own way; the narcissist in me is mostly curious whod pretend to be hurt the most vs those that actually knew me telling them to fuck off and doing it right
