I will care less, certainly, about what people say about me in my death than I care even what they say about me now.
I've said to my family "have a party. Open bar. People can, if they want, get up and say something funny I did, or something stupid I did, or just about anything." My brother then suggested since we had done all the planning we could set a date. That's how my family is: we find humor in things, in life, even in death...
I have, ever since I saw Nate's burial on Six Feet under, wanted a "green" burial. Dig a hole in the woods somewhere, throw my carcass in that hole, cover up said hole...then let the trees nourish or the animals feed. It really doesn't matter: "I" will be gone. It's all energy give and take anyway.
I have that to leave behind, if nothing else.
