Is it normal to think of your own funeral?

I find myself wondering from time to time what sort of life I've led. If I died tomorrow, would any of my friends and family mourn? Who would make the trip to see me laid to rest? Is this normal or am I being completly narcissistic?

  • Given the never ending oddities that pop up in people's heads I would say that's very normal.

    I wouldn't even consider that a strange thought if it was in my mindscape.

    • Thanks Tommythecat, you made me feel better. I have quite a range of thoughts. But I wasn't sure if this topic was healthy to be thinking about.

      • Thinking about anything is normal no matter how crazy, it's only if you "act" on crazy thoughts that it is a problem. Or if you become obsessive over such thoughts.

        I certainly have my share of crazy ideas, we all do.

  • I have a mental list of songs for my funeral. It changes but at the top of the list is the song in the aeroplane over the sea by nmh. It was going to be bankrupt on selling by modest mouse but that'd be too dramatic.

  • I always think about this. I think it's important to remember you never know when you are going to go, so try your best to live for today and be the best person you can be. I always in vision myself to be 70 or over when I die. I hope that up until the end I was still tall, good looking and refined. I'd like to be remembered for my contributions to others, my talents, my regality and my looks.

  • To be honest. I never think about my funeral. I simply don't care and I am not even afraid of death. If I die I die. End of the story. I sometimes think that death is better than living in this godforsaken world.

  • Yeah. I've heard stories of people, who with their end in sight, have staged a living funeral, spurring guests to share their thoughts and anecdotes about them while their still alive to hear them.
