I always like to think that with death, it is never a matter of if it will happen but always a matter of when. Which really is quite true, there's no two ways about it...

And I find it kind of odd how theistic people who believe in a Heaven cry when good people die - shouldn't it be good that they're going to a better place, with $deity? Why should you feel sad that they're leaving you if you know the'yre going to someone who should be infinitely better than you?
But that is not really related to the topic...

The most important thing, I guess, is to remember that the rest of life goes on even though that someone is dead. If I have an opportunity to suggest how my death be carreid out, I would like to be made into fertilizer and have no funeral, and everyone could just go back to the rest of their lives. That's something like what my grandparents did (not the fertilizer bit...).
