D'you think this is a good idea?

Question

If you know you're dying, you should have an early funeral reception. Then you can be there yourself. No point having your own funeral if you can't see it.

Sorry.

Answer 1

that is a good idea! kinda of a sending off party that you are at alive! mm... might have to do that! when i get older will have a party every week in-case i die by the next!

Answer 2

I guess having a bit of a get-together before you go on your way is not such a crazy idea,really.

Answer 3

I agree no point having a party when the guest of honour is not there.

Really funerals are for the survivors anyway.  

Answer 4

Bad idea, at least in my opinion.

Answer 5

That is a great idea, but I wouldn't want people to know that I'm not really dead so I can hide somewhere behind the bushes to see who's REALLY mourning and who's doing a victory dance lol.

Answer 6

I think it's a very cool idea. They do just that in the movie "The Weatherman". I had never heard of it before seeing it there. The only thing that may bother me is that I would be afraid that some people would just be kissing up and not be sincere.

I've already planned the music at my funeral showing and have specified that I want a bagpiper to play "Amazing Grace" at the actual burial. Do you think thats morbid?
