Everybody deserves something humane throughout their life, at the end is way too late.
- gambiting 3y agoYeah exactly, as nice as it is as an idea, that does literally nothing for the person who might have died completely alone.
- ziddoap 3y agoGood thing this idea isn't mutually exclusive with helping people before they die. Edit: Curious at the downvoters, do you think this is mutually exclusive or something? What am I missing?
- derbOac 3y agoI agree although late is also better than never.
- Filligree 3y agoSince they're already dead, it's arguably "never". Funerals exist for the survivors, and for the sake of society. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's pointless, and I also don't believe it is. But "too little, too late" does apply here. All respect to the people who do it...
- lukas099 3y ago> Funerals exist for the survivors, and for the sake of society. Exactly. Every living person in Amsterdam knows that somebody will be there at their funeral.
- wanderingstan 3y agoAnd at a wider level, I and many others on the internet have a renewed appreciation for human kindness and the depths of feeling that people can have for each other, for the value we can place on having lived. It’s a beautiful project.

- NietTim 3y agoNo, contacting relatives might be impossible but become possible over the years, them knowing someone they lost contact with but still loved was given a proper burial might relieve some of the shock of finding out they're dead.
- dazc 3y agoBetter late than never?
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoThis is a terrible perspective. Por que no los dos?
