    That is my whole point - funerals are for the living only. The dead won't be in a position to care. If those left over and have my money when I've gone want to waste that money on my funeral, that's their choice, but they'd be better off not feeling any guilt and spending the cash on themselves to have a good time.

      Because maybe he's a nicer guy than I am.

        Not strictly true. I KNOW that there is no god - this is more than belief.

        I'll tell you what, when we're both dead, let's meet up and compare who is right or wrong

          You should probably set aside some money Whorty.

          Your family would not appreciate a green bottle infestation after you bloated corpse explodes on the sofa.

            I'm sure that can be arranged when this site turns into a zombie forum beyond April 2020.

              If I live to my full expected term, I won't have much family around. Wife is likely to go well before me due to her illness. Apart from a brother I no longer speak to, I have a Mom who will mostly likely have gone too. My extended family are explicitly written out of my will.

              Whoever finds my corpse can do whatever they want with it. I won't know or have any capacity to care.

                Surely Zombies are, by definition, undead ... be interested what the religious text say about zombies

                  I think Jesus was a zombie after his crucifixion but don't quote me on that.

                  Your fairly grim predication sounds plausible. I don't know how old you are but you could join a walking football team in your retirement and they could play a posthumous testimonial match for you to raise money for your chosen charity. I know that's a bit random but I'm trying to think of something you could look forward to on the death front.

                      Jesus. An extra marital affair gone badly wrong.
