About my funeral, just since you asked (but no worries you have many years to plan it!), I’m sure you would want to know (if I have any friends left on earth at that far future point):
Simplest way to choreograph my funeral, though I have much more complex ones, where people have to go and find objects I’ve hidden around the world, and make art from them, then return together and make a film about what they found (but that plan takes a huge global team), so I came up with a simpler one- make my casket out of painting canvases, and have every one come and collaborate in painting it. Each a prayer for me, or based on a cool memory they had. That would make for a simple funeral for all, and a cool casket.
Sometimes, caskets are a bit boring to me, having grown up doing so many funerals. I want mine to be performance art. Of course ,there would be a documentary film with interviews, and would be edited and given as gifts to all who came. Art is meant to be given away. I’m really into art giving. I do that even in my old creative workshops. Making art responses to another person’s art, and then giving it as a gift of seeing that person. But for a funeral, I like my simple casket painting idea. But don’t put me in a museum afterwards—too many alarm systems! I might never get out!
I’m not being morbid, I’m just art planning my cross over art projects!
Lots of people don’t plan their funerals. I work with elderly, I know. I think it’s wise to plan on how you want to be celebrated. Mine is performance art, with a bit of adventure! But the painting the canvas coffin part, could occur anywhere, and I think is.a practical funeral, for those who aren’t mobile or adventurous!
I’ll keep working on the eulogy, but that could take another 40 years, at the very least! So we all have plenty of time!
