If you died, would you watch your own funeral? Simple question.

Note that "funeral" includes:
- The wake ceremony where people can see your body before the funeral prior.
- The funeral service proper.
- The first 2 years of the people in your life after the funeral. But only as an observer. No haunting. No possession. No interaction. They will NOT be able to feel your presence.
- When the 2 years are over, you will be forced into the beyond. Whatever that is, is up to your beliefs.
- However, you will retain these collected thoughts even though your memory will be wiped (see below). They will linger as notions and emotions such as "vengeance" or "obsession with ". You won't know why though.

^That is what the first choice entails. The 2nd is to simply move on.

I'm being vague here because we all have our own beliefs, so "moving on" simply means:
- You go on to whatever you believe comes after this life.
- You will not be permitted to do any of the above. Moving on is moving on.
- Whatever happens, any memory of your previous life will be erased.
- Only lingering abstract notions will retain. If you had a passion for drawing before, you will carry that with you wherever you may end up.


Just to clear things up:
- There is no hurry to goto the afterlife but the time spent waiting will only be reserved for making the choice. The question is not about whether you will stay, but it is whether you will care to stay for the things you'll leave behind.
- Staying to "think about your decision" simply means you are in a pseudo-purgatory state. You will still be an observer incapable of affecting anything in the mortal realm. The moment your mind even gets an inkling of either choice, it will fling you there whether you are prepared or not.
- The option to stay forever is not allowed. An Eternity for someone could mean another duration for someone else.
- Note that if you picked the first option, you will still be moving on anyway. The difference is, you will be saddled with the burdens of your own death.
- Finally, assume that everyone thinks that no one is going to hell, the option to go there is still open anyway and really is it for us to judge? Going to hell is irrelevant to the question because it happens after you "move on".
- You actually have no idea when and how you "died". Having to choose Option A means you will get to find out; perks of the choice. You just sort of appeared in this situation as a dead guy. So, there is no provision as to being able to choose depending on how you died.



Oh yeah and btw, no "3rd choice" answers. It's one or the other and I swear if you try and rationalize a third option then you are missing the point of this poll in its entirety.

A lot of depends on WHEN I die.

For example, if I die when I'm past my prime, I would very much like to see my own funeral and see all the things they have to say.

However, if I was to die young and my parents outlived me, I would not want to see THEM at my funeral.

why not? you dont like your parents?
plus, I thought hewitt said you were really 50 and stickpage was your secret shame
anyway...I wouldn't stay, fuck earth :P

What a ridiculously insulting question. The answer is : Because I am not a cretin who wants to see my parents grieve at the loss of their own child (arguably the worst thing that could happen to anyone).

Hewitt told me that your mother is a prostitute who specializes in being gang-banged while you videotape. Does the fact that he said it make it true?

I would watch my own funeral. I really like life, like living is one of the things that I am particularly fond of, but the thought of how people that are close to me would react to my death has crossed my mind before, so I'd probably do it if for nothing more than curiosities sake

I don't mind that conclusion. Though I would like to add to Nish's WHEN with a HOW. If I was brutally arse raped and tortured by killers who got away with the murder and everything I had, I would hate to see how injustice eats them up on the inside. If I died of natural causes then probably yeah. Yes, I would see my parents grieve but if they believed in the afterlife and that I am looking down from somewhere, they would probably want me to know that they are sad. Plus I want to see what they would do with my card collection. They better not give it away to some motherfucking punk kid who takes them out of the card protectors. If only I had the ability to haunt I would haunt that fucking kid. For every corner bent, for every edge chipped, I would force him closer and closer to selling them on ebay at a decent price.

I haven't made that much intimate connections with many people, and I haven't really done anything praiseworthy for many people to attend, so I'd rather just move on.

i wouldn't! >:(
if it's for seeing my friends and my family crying about my death i would be so sad! and i would regret to do what i did to get accidentally killed

Cretin(v): to google, or look up

I would like to stay and watch my funeral. Not because I want to see my family and my friends cry. It's because I want to spend time with them, even if they don't see me or feel me, I want to be with them as long as I can. I accept moving on but I don't want to forget them.

I am rolling with Drone on this one. I've asked my self countless times how would my loved ones and friends feel after my death. How would they respond, what did I meant to them, etc.

I'd probably stay and watch my funeral.
Why not.

I mean, I bet almost all of us want to know what our pals really think of us, but I'm not staying as a spirit on earth for 2 years. Based on my religion and shit, I'd go to heaven, so I would just move on, i ain't wasting so much time :/
Now, if I was staying for JUST the funeral, I'd stay, why not?
Tbh when I die I want my brother to have my iPad xD
