I've written my own obituary.
Every six months or so, I update the text and save it on the hard drive of my laptop. In the event of my death, my mate will post it on my Website and e-mail it to everyone in my address book. I've also requested that he publish the obit on The Blog of Death; if I have my way, it'll be the last post to appear there.
Since I'll be dead when my obit goes live, I won't have the opportunity to read the reactions to my demise. I won't know who left behind loving tributes or who simply didn't give a damn. Wouldn't it be neat to have that chance, to know how you were perceived by those around you?
Some people know, because they faked their own death. Here's a great list of 10 Dead People Who Weren't Really Dead.

ReplyDeleteI just deleted a comment by "Anonymous" that suggested a Web site for searching death records. You should be aware of it in case someone tries to hoodwink you into subscribing to this service.
ReplyDeleteI strongly recommend that you DO NOT subscribe to www.deathrecordsobituarysearch.com. It appears to be a scam.
I'll post a new item about it.
