The party part is nice… It's all the other stuff I'm not into. Not to mention that here it's very expensive and often a burden on the family. I gotta make a will and request no funeral at all. Have a party if you want and talk about all the dumb bullshit I did and said and laugh 😂
The high price is very much an exploitation of people's grief for profit. Using their emotional connection to argue that they "should" pay a lot. It sucks real bad.
My mother, as she grows older, is thinking about her passing and planning for it. Nothings wrong, she's just a planner.
She is looking into donating her corpse to science.
Med students need cadavers to practice on, grisly, but better than being a human guinea pig for some Doc's first attempt at surgical intervention.
Or, there was a story that made rounds about a guys mother whose body was used in testing explosives by the military. If I get a choice I want that option, since apparently funeral pyres are illegal these days.
Sure, the modern Western culture of funerals might not be so great, especially the open casket stuff.
But saying goodbye and maybe having a party with your still living closest ones, can be helpful for many. It's very much a "life goes on" situation.
