16. Actually, that's a novel way to go - and people should celebrate life.

People get together to mourn the loss of the life, but we all contribute to society - sometimes in unusual ways ("unusual" for lack of more apropos word).

When my time comes, I would rather see people party and have a good time. Mourning has its place, but life is also a celebration in of itself. I do see how traditional funerals are meant to be, but they can be needlessly depressing. The one I went to, not enough was said about what he had done in life. Essentially an index was mentioned, but there was so much substance to his life...
