The last viewing I attended was for a friend of mine. There were some nice words said, and the typical, "sorry for your loss," statements given to the family. Then, everyone gathered outside and started bullshitting as if it was a high school reunion. People were laughing, making plans to get together, and it all just seemed disrespectful. Maybe it's just human nature, or unique to that viewing, but it made me think about what I wanted to do upon death and that a viewing/funeral certainly wasn't it.

What I'd truly like to do, if the circumstances allowed, is wander off into the woods, sit down and lean my back against a tree, and pass on. Let the animals and insects nourish themselves on my body so that I can provide life in my death. It makes me believe I'll remain apart of this world.

Being locked in an air tight casket and providing nothing but a place for people to come and mourn doesn't sound appealing to me.

*Edit* I'll have the sounds of nature played at my funeral
