You only die once
The Oregonian:
It was supposed to be Hugh Ackroyd's wake. And maybe the best part of Sunday afternoon was the fact that Hugh Ackroyd is not dead.
The man who made a career out of shooting photos of barges and ships and boxcars is 96 years old. He planned his wake, and he wasn't embarrassed to admit it.
"Well, why not?" he said. "Why bother when (I'm) dead?"

You know, it makes sense. My Mom said while she was with us, to send her out in the least exspensive way possible.
It makes sense. The same way that having a wake while you are here does. Let me know now how much you like me ... instead of crying and moaning when I move on. Genius!
