Attendance at funerals is a function of the deceased's age, mostly:
> Die young--under 55--and the room will be packed.
> Die old--over 90--and hardly anyone will remember you, unless you were world famous at some point in your life.
-
A man/woman can live a good life, be honorable, give to charity, but in the end, the number of people who come to his/her funeral is generally dependent on the weather.
-
The thing I would ask people to do at my funeral is ‘don't come.’ That's not everyone, just certain people who always seem to come but I wouldn't want.
> If you are some random acquaintances at work who thinks it's a good way to grab some free food, don't come.
> If you are some random relatives who never really spoke to me anyway, but feels obligated, don't come.
> If you are an ‘old friend’ who couldn't be bothered talking to me for 10 years, but wants a chance to catch up with everyone, don't come.
> If you wouldn't come to my house for dinner, if you wouldn't come to help me in a rough spot, why the hell would you come to my funeral?

So how about you? How many people and who would you want at your funeral?
