“Event Planners” for “End of Life Celebrations”

Planning for one’s own “End of Life Celebration” (formerly referred to as a funeral) is an event which is starting to require greater attention, especially in Los Angeles, Hollywood, and similar locations.

According to Joel Stein, The L.A. way of death, LA Times, April 6, 2007, you may wish to hire an event planner and start preparing things such as the video of your life, the guest list, the location for dinner, and the contents of the gift bag to be given to each attendee.

Personally, however, the article’s author elected not to make such elaborate arrangements stating that “immortality is the foolish fantasy of weak egos.”

Special thanks to Prof. Joel C. Dobris of the University of California-Davis for bringing this article to my attention.
