If you died today how many people do you think would be at your funeral ?

I sometimes wonder about this. Is it just me ?

Two who cared.

SW-User

That’s not many. I’m sure there will be more....@alan20

Threepio

There won't be a funeral....

But nonetheless there will be a party after they cook me down to ashes and THE TURNOUT WILL BE HUGE because I am leaving a pile of cash for the FREE Liquor and ALL YOU CAN EAT steak fry....

SW-User

That’s a good way to ensure a good turn out 👍@Threepio

My brother was a very popular man... One thousand or so was at his.
I think perhaps his friends Mey show up and the like.
So around 400!

SW-User

Woww. 1000, that’s a lot !@Dusty101

Dusty101 · F

@SW-User he was a guitarist and knew many people!

helenS · 36-40, F

@helenS You sound as if you're booking the hotel!

helenS · 36-40, F

@alan20 Haha, hotel! Next hotel is 25 miles away!

alan20 · M

@helenS I'll have to make do with the local chippy then!

SW-User

I am not having one I already told my son cremate me and throw me in the ocean

SW-User

Isn’t the cremation a type of funeral ? @SW-User

SW-User

@SW-User no they will shove me in an oven and give my ashes to my son after a day or two in a box and that's it

SW-User

Okay. No pondering on your funeral attendees then 👍👍@SW-User

indyjoe · 56-60, M

None...I plan to be cremated and have no funeral or memorial service. My wife and I decided that is what we both wanted.

But people will be there. Someone has to have your ashes...@goliathtree

goliathtree · 56-60, M

@SW-User I suppose technically.

SW-User

To be honest I don’t really know what qualifies as a funeral ?@goliathtree

Eddiesolds · 61-69, M

Best way 👍@Eddiesolds

Eddiesolds · 61-69, M

@SW-User Have a good day there!

SW-User

Haha @Eddiesolds

alan20 · M

Would it matter? Two or maybe three I really care for. Quite a few others I'd be polite to - except I couldn't!

butterflymind1 · F

I hope zero
I asked for no-one to be there
I want to be cremated

SW-User

A few people have said this. So who takes care of your ashes ?@butterflymind1

butterflymind1 · F

@SW-User hopefully my son will scatter the ashes along his way home

Thevy29 · 41-45, M

Most would be at the police station getting questioned.

SW-User

Haha@Thevy29

boklenholley7 · F

No, it's not just you.

@SW-User probably more family and family friends than people I actually care about.

SW-User

That’s the way I think but is it just paranoia ?@boklenholley7

boklenholley7 · F

@SW-User 🤷‍♀️ I don't particularly care for a lot of people. If it were up to me, there'd be maybe 20 people.

alan20 · M

Really couldn't care less. I'd like to be able to count them though.

SW-User

Couldn’t care less is the best ..@alan20

rjc36 · 56-60, M

Other than family I don't think there would be to many.

jackieash · 26-30

Apart from Mum and my Gf, all of my best mates (five).

SW-User

Well they are the ones that matter @jackieash

SW-User

None

@SW-User You may be surprised. Anyway, in sixty years time the grandchildren won't fit in to the funeral parlour.

SW-User

@SW-User sadly I fear it will be

SW-User

@alan20 haha I like you think I'll last that long

MrAboo · 36-40, M

Maybe 15 ppl would show up

SW-User

I think that’s about the same for me.Not many is it ?,@MrAboo

WonderGirl1

6 maybe a couple more.

SW-User

Lots more than that, Im sure. You must have many fans xx@WonderGirl1

Rhodesianman · 56-60, M

My family and a few friends

SW-User

No idea

SW-User

Well take a guess ...@SW-User

SW-User

@SW-User 40

SW-User

That’s a decent turn out to wave you goodbye 👍@SW-User

greenmountaingal · 70-79, F

About 5 or 6.

SW-User

Why, so few ? @greenmountaingal

JohnOinger · 41-45, M

SW-User

Carissimi · 70-79, F

😂 Maybe two...that is, if my son isn't busy that day...JK!!!

SW-User

PirateMonkeyCabinet · 36-40, M

I wouldn't really want a funeral, but if there is anything akin to it, I'd say probably at most around 8-10 people, preferably less. There's always a chance that some people I am actively trying to avoid gets the news might just turn up, but nah, plan is to just "disappear" as silently as possible when my time comes.
