    This may sound weird but as a self professed hermit a part of me wants only my kids to know when I die. The idea of a room being filled with people because I’ve died just seems weird.

      I’ve been to a funeral of a really popular person who made a ton of people happy and I’ll tell you what, the full room is better.

      An empty room is sad.

      Don’t make your presence noted, make your absense felt.

        Oh I’m sure for the people alive a full room is better. But personally speaking I much prefer an Irish exit.

          Funerals aren’t for the dead, they’re for the living.

            What part of my personal opinion do y’all not understand as the opinion coming from me? I get what you’re all saying. That said, personally speaking I’d love to just die and no one bat an eye. Sneak out the back door if you would.

            Now before another of you replies about why I’m wrong, again. My own personal goddamn opinion.

    Always go to other people’s funerals; otherwise they won’t go to yours.

  • Not far from reality. My elderly dad had many ‘young female’ Facebook friends that would constantly message him. We made him very aware of scammers but he just enjoyed chatting to people and so he would befriend them but apparently not send any money. He believed they were real friends. When he passed away I made the announcement on Facebook and it was silence from most of his so called friends. Dad never wanted to believe they were real scammers, he had a good heart and was trusting of these strangers. Old folk like him are very vulnerable and need family to keep an eye on them.
