Yes, what with me being dead in this scenario and it being my funeral, I'm sure my family would find it slightly disconcerting if I was not there...

I would not want to attend my own funeral because I do not want a funeral. There is no point in attempting to remember someone when in the end they will be forgotten. Funerals are meaningless.

I dunno, I'd like to pull a Tom Sawyer at mine. "aww never found the body, he must be dead" and then I show up.

No, I wouldn't attend. Frankly, I can't imagine anything more boring.

As for what sort of funeral I want: I don't care. At all. I'll be dead, so it's not as if I'll know anything about it. That said, I was amused by the last request of Hugh Everett III (famous physicist and father of the singer from Eels), which was to be cremated and then have his ashes thrown out with the household rubbish. So maybe that.

First thing to come to mind when I saw that title was Tasslehoff Burrfoot.

OT: Hell yes.

Well would you?

I wasn't aware that such a thing was optional!

What funeral? I'm not having a funeral. I'll just be unceremoniously cremated or donate my body to science. I don't want the people I know wasting their money on sticking my corpse in a hole.

Wait, what's all this otherworldly ghost shit?

I'm having my funeral a month before I die. It's going to be this massive party about how awesome my life was. Everyone's going to be drinking, laughing, dancing. Music will be playing, food will be eaten, there'll probably be some funeral sex.

I, also. It's been a plan of mine for years now. I don't want it to be a sad occasion, I want it to be an opportunity for my loved ones to say a proper goodbye and have a cheerful way of remembering me.

Reminds me of a guy who faked his own death just to see who went to his funeral. One person did, his mother. Afterwards he sent letters to his "friends" askign why they didnt show up lol
So no, i dont think i would because i would be dissapointed by the lakc of people who showed up.

Why not? I mean, you are dead right? Might as well haunt your family starting from the funeral. While the pastor is reading about my life, I would then take over his body and start moonwalking, doing some B-Boy break dance moves, then put on a straw barbershop style hat and sing "Hello my baby, hello my honey, hello my ragtime gal!" as I can-canned down the isle and dart off into the wilderness.

Psh, forget that noise. I'm gonna attend my own wake.
Hopefully I can possess someone and make them get themselves drunk.
Turn it into a party, you know.

First question: No...I wouldn't. I'd rather not see people depressed over my end, and if they were honest, the whole thing would be short and bland.

Second question: I don't actually care about funerary arrangements, though my personal preference is to be torched and thrown...somewhere... Nowhere special, dumped down the sink is fine with me. I'm dead...my body is useless to me, and if there is some Egyptian thing in which a body is required to come back, I do not doubt that my spirit or what have you would have the ability to usurp the form of some unruly animal I find suitable to my needs.

Sure. I would love to see what people say about me.

And make sure they don't talk about my past...

Also, I would love it if a C-130 Plane flew over my marked tombstone, dropped me out of the back while it deploys the flares.

It's actually quite beautiful.

Aparently, funerals suck. Everyone is too busy crying their eyes out or making stony faces.

Not that anyone would actually cry if I died.

It would be weird watching a giant orgy around a 500 foot tall gold statue of me suplexng god.

What? When you're dead you can go ANYWHERE. You can explore the farthest star and see things never before seen by any alive person. Why in the hell would I go to my own funeral? That's a total waste of time.
