Buy me not on the lone prairie--in fact, attend to me only whilst I can know wha you're up to. I don't even want anyone slipping and falling in the act of scattering my ashes. Of course, a memorial event attended by hundreds of thousands of people laughing and crying--that'd be good!
Whilst the cognitive aspect of me certainly holds strongly to this view of the body that I used when alive - and that any rituals or concerns about what happen when I dead …. There is always some …. Is it emotional or maybe just instinctual part of me that imagines thee process of funerals and me at some unknown time being THERE where I have so often stood, at the grave or in the crematorium- and so much life often as I age now - so there is that odd and illogical thought as you imagine your own dead body or funeral.
I usefully quickly dismiss it and it’s if concern only to those left behind no me. But it is an odd phenomenon
Simon, yes, I experience the same. It's the result of millennia of cultural bias, and perhaps also of the natural biological instinct of self-preservation. Hard to shake off. But of course Diogenes was right...
