What do you hope, dread, and realistically think people will say and think of you after you have died?

They'll somehow manage to focus on all the positives or put a positive spin on everything, even though I was an asshole ):o

I have an idea that when I die, people from all over the place will come and pay respect to me. Like, I was one of those happy go lucky characters that goes around subtly touching everyone's lives around him.
 
Realistically though, my family and close friends will come and say some shit, cry, eat a bunch of food, and then probably move on with their lives by the end of the week. As it should be, I guess. I've always said I don't want people to cry at my funeral. Just remember the good times, learn from what I did, etc.

No one will attend, they will say nothing and no one cares. I have no friends and I could careless. My uncle is going to die like this month, i'm not attending his funeral, I am not inviting any of my relatives to mine.

I went to the future to find out, and turns out that after my death, I'm actually martyred a bit. Turns out that my death plays a huge role in the end of the world.

I'll be remembered as that guy who tried to six backflips in mid-air by jumping off the roof of his house. 
 
And I'll be happy with that.

I hope someone is going to do Carlton's dance on my funeral. Hell, I'll write that on my will or something.

I read your post before you edited, and i understand how you feel. But you should keep an open mind, as nothing is certain in this world. Our understanding of it is in most things laughable. :)

@Jeust:  I read your question wrong the 1st time. As to what it actually is, as it stands I don't see a reason to be remembered or looked upon fondly. I am sure people will miss me, but i haven't done anything great or truly unique to make my life mean something.

My best friend died recently, and what followed was an out-pouring by everyone he knew about how wonderful he was, and how they never properly told him. Including myself, much to my now eternal regret. You can't live in a way that people know much you mean to them each day so I expect some of that after I am gone but who knows. I'm not terribly important, but I know I would be missed.

Seriously though, I've already arranged my funeral. There won't be any. I'll be cremated and put in an anonymous grave. The doctors can feel free to take any organs they need. No need to make a big fuss out of nothing. A few people will cry, miss me for a while, and then go on with their lives. Just as it should be.
