Re: Funerals
You're welcome. Your family probably says you're nuts, but I don't think it's nuts to help people and let them know that someone cares.

Re:
I don't want a funeral or to be buried. I want to be cremated and have my family toss the ashes in the woods. I hate funerals, they are a waste of money. Yes they are for those left behind and I find that sad. I think that is the biggest reason people believe in 'God' and 'Heaven'. They are afraid of death, afraid of their loved ones really being gone forever. By saying they are in 'Heaven' they can comfort themselves and believe they will see them again. People can accept the reality of death and need something, religion, a grave, etc., to hold onto.

Re: Funerals
I agree that funerals are for the living, and that many people believe in one or more gods and an afterlife because they're afraid of death. I don't want to be buried in a casket, because that would be a waste of space that could be used to plant a tree or some crops.
If you must bury me, bury me in a forest or a field without a casket, so I can fertilize the ground. Otherwise, cremate me and send my ashes out to my friends around the world, so they can release my them into areas that are special to them. Instead of a funeral to mourn my death, have a party to celebrate the person I was. Don't give me a religious send-off, because it would desecrate my memory. I won't know what happens after my death, but if people know what I stand for and honor it, they will know they are honoring my memory, and hopefully they can find peace in my passing.
Funerals are for the living, but so are parties. Mourn my death in your own time, if you must, but instead of a funeral, have a party to celebrate my life.

Re: Funerals
I'd want a monument, to be preserved and put to mausoleum like pharaohs or Lenin
