My aunt died in 2013 and at the reception after her funeral my cousin (her stepson) suggested the whole family make a "Harlem Shake" video. Even as a joke it would have been staggeringly tasteless, but he wasn't joking.

At least he didn't suggest putting my aunt in it, I suppose.

Sorry, but you'll have to choose one or the other, but you can't both "die like you lived" AND "have dignity."

[you can't give me a setup like that and expect me not to run with it.]

Thus the "and." ;)

I would probably be happy with a good beatbox version of, say, Pneuma at my funeral.

Big move! Best of luck on your new journey as a business owner. Leaving Microsoft is a bold step, but it sounds like you're ready to write your own success story. Rooting for your success all the way!
