While at Live Longer’s barbecue, some of the guests and I discussed death and ghosts. Several guests shared experiences of their loved one’s ghost visiting them a few days after their death. Sometimes the ghost told them things such as, “Everything will be alright.” Other times, they were just there – sitting in the room, car, funeral home.
This got me thinking about my death and how much fun it would be to hire a bunch of doppelgangers/look alikes to attend my fun-eral/wake. In a sense, I’m outsourcing. I definitely need to adjust my will and final testament to reflect this desire.
I shared my idea with a coworker, who recently attended a funeral. “The service was amazing. So many people loved this guy. I thought to myself, ‘Who would say this kind of stuff about me at my funeral?’ That’s when I decided would hire mourners for my service,” she told me.
Between the doppelgangers and the mourners, our funerals should be a good time – exactly as MC Static Cling and I think funerals should be: fun.
