Death Wishes

[jrising]

It's best to write up one's final wishes (living will (especially), legal will, funeral service details (if you want)) before actually dying. And it was one of my 101/1001 goals, so here's a pass at them: Death Wishes.

I'm not worrying about making a proper legal document, at least until I have more valuable stuff. Am I missing anything important? Have you taken a different approach to doing this?

when the whole terry shivo (sp?) thing went down, I actually created a living will through my parents' attorney b/c i didn't want to be kept alive if on life support for that length of time. it looks very similar to yours, only i appointed certain possessions to certain people and went into a little bit more detail about the funeral service itself. you kept yours nice and open, allowing people to celebrate your life in their own way, but i am very curious about the whole "ask me a question and i will answer it" thing - maybe it was because i skimmed over the document (as i am at work) but i wasn't quite clear - are the people supposed to write their question on food and then consume it? or are you going to consume it before you die? i was just a bit confused. other than that i think it is a fantastic thing to have all of your wishes spelled out.

They consume it. As long as I can still breathe, it's easy to answer questions. I figure, if I'm still able to communicate things after I die, I can probably also figure out what you wrote after you eat it. I'll try to make that more clear.
