Attending Your Own Funeral: Difference between revisions

 

 

* ''[[Astral Journey: It's Complicated]]'' has Melanie being heavy sedated as she put through a mock funeral in an effort for her to face up her eating disorder, as it could've killed her.

** In an earlier part, Emma, Melanie, and Nick all find themselves attending a funeral for two. One of them is Emma's funeral, which she figures and doesn't freak out.

* [[Raffles]] did this, as part of a gambit to throw a too-persistent ex-girlfriend off his trail; it was the second time he'd been thought to be dead, but the first funeral. The other time, he'd jumped from a ship in the Mediterranean, and been mistakenly reported to have washed up dead on shore.

* ''[[Rumpole of the Bailey]]'' lets it be thought that he is dead, partly to lure a solicitor that owes him a great deal of money out of hiding and let She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed pwn him good and gets to hear Judge Bullingham giving an eulogy for him, which he greatly enjoys hearing.

* Prince Josua at the end of ''[[Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn]]''.

* Mr. Sellars at the end of ''[[Otherland]]'', also by [[Tad Williams]].
