Since you seem so eager to gather other peoples opinions today, and I'm all too eager to express my own... here goes:
Death is beautiful. It is a transition from confused living matter to unthinking dead matter... a break down of mechanics that enforce pattern and a return to the natural chaos of the Universe. What once was a personality becomes as nothingness, and dissipates much as the corpse does with time. In most cases this is destruction without resolution, which isn't exactly wrong.... but I can only imagine that it isn't as satisfying to give over all control of one's destruction so late... Better to resolve each aspect of the psyche beforehand and free one's self from the world in advance of death that it spells only the completion of dissolution.
No pointless rituals.
The dead are gone and no longer to be considered.
My body can be thrown to the pigeons when I'm gone for all I care.

Life is a disease and death is the cure. I believe we all live to die sometimes, somehow, somewhere and religion for me plays insignificant role. Only in death all mortals becomes equal. It is something inevitable and always sure regardless of sex, color, race or belief. Death is the answer to all our suffering that comes for free.at a given time

We bury our dead within two days of their passing. They are placed nine feet under instead of the usually six.
When one passes on they called ancestors and we keep a small shrine in our homes with the things that belonged to them, things they liked to use with a candle and a glass of water to poor libations for them. It is to keep there spirit alive and for them to know that even though they have passed on they are still deeply and dearly loved.

I am christian. For me the time of death is a time of great joy. It is the time when I pass from this life into the arms of my beloved Jesus, who presents me to the Father God, to live forever in heaven.

Well if the person is saved, some want the preacher to preacher to the sinners at the funneral. I have seen souls saved at a funneral. I have seen some who wasn't saved and the funneral is like a big reunion. My funneral is to be preached. I done have who is to sing and preach at my funneral.

a celibration of not only their life , but their continuation of life ...

as Catholics we mourn the loss of our loved one`s and miss their presence among us,but even in grief we try to celebrate the wonderful gift of life of the person and give thanks to God for this life, and hopefully leave them to Gods loving mercy, but we always keep them in our hearts and remember them in our prayers.
