If you die how many people will attend your funeral?

[Lookingglassman]

One of my aunt's husband died last week and the funeral was today. The church was packed with people and it was standing room only. I was amazed by the number of people who attended because he was a real nice guy, but kept to himself.

It got me to wondering, if I died, would I have a great turn out and the answer is nope. I dont have many friends and really dont want any. My only family is my mom and pop who are old as heck and will probably die before me so most likely I will die and be buried in a Veteran's cemetary with hardly anyone in attendance, but at least I will be back with my brethren.

What about you guys/gals? If you died would your funeral have a big turn out?

I wouldn't have a funeral. I would have a FUNeral!

As many as my estate can afford. Paid mourners are the way to go. Especially young, female paid mourners.

What's the point if your dead?

If I die the way I think I'm gonna die? Four, five tops.

If I die of natural causes? Probably a bunch.

If I die the way I wanna die? There won't be a funeral, because no one will be spared.

probably just my immediate family, no one else cares, and i have no friends

You'll always have the TREK BBS!

Probably some people from my church, plus a few friends from elsewhere, and family of course.

It depends. I know so many people through various channels that it would be near impossible for whoever was organizing the funeral to contact all of them. If they did all find out at once then I'd imagine there'd be a number of people there.

If they can determine where I died...I don't know

If?

 

[Starbreaker]

I'm gonna live.... until I die!

 

[JiNX-01]

Uh, what do you mean, IF I die? Isn't it pretty much a given?

As for the question... I would guess 40-60 people (lots of relatives).

I'm going to live forever...or die trying.

Realistically, under 20, probably 10 - 15ish. Any more than 20 and I'd be surprised or it would be a lot of padding from people at work.

There had better be mobs, or I'll come back and give all of my students Fs. I've promised to go to their funerals if they keel over from homework, so they'd better go to mine!

Seriously, though, with strong connections to two schools and to various community groups, I would expect a decent turnout. It's the nature of my job to get to know a LOT of people, really well. If it were just my personal group of family and friends, it would be smaller, but not miserably so, I hope. The number of friends I have on Facebook is fairly accurate as to what I'd expect as I rarely add people, and only those I really like and am close to...

If I died today I would say four. I always think this is ironic because all my life I never wanted to be a person like my father, a simple, working-class family man, but when he died last year there were about 400 people at the funeral.

 

[Bisz]

Very few.

 

[auntiehill]

Very, very few.
