I've never experienced it first hand, well I have but I feel useless to pretend I know how it feels.
Its unimaginable and I wish in all my life I never have to experience it. But I will.
I don't like it when people have their funerals in places that they've never been before. (same goes for weddings.)
I don't like places where the room is occupied by folding chairs and peeling yellow wallpaper.
I want to have my funeral outside, not in a graveyard.
Somewhere like...the beach or a garden.
And they'll play animal collective and the decemberists. And the song that I'll be carried away by is Cold Desert. And I'll be wearing a long white cotton dress.
I don't want cheesy funeral ceremonial things. There will be everyone I know there. Unless it's people I didn't like. Then hopefully they wont come. No fake grievers allowed.
My "celebrant" will be a friend of mine whom I loved dearly and they loved me too. I'll have a viewing in my house and then my casket will be closed, but in the same room as everyone else so I can hear what everyones saying about me. And I think I'd want to be cremated. And then scattered, well I'd want it to be in space but I don't think thats going to happen, so I'll be scattered at my favourite place in the world but I haven't decided that yet.
Then afterwards everyone will go to the pub and get fucked and laugh about all the funny things I did.
