I'd suggest my death (hoaxed or otherwise) should be handled similar to my organ donation wishes. My family knows my wishes & will act acordingly. I don't know enough monks here yet to call it a real issue, but I'd hope, over the years (I have left) to meet a few. And in preparation, have added PM to my LOLE ("list of loose ends") that my wife or daughter will deal with. I use 3 rotating files, updated monthly. Currently they're on jump drives & sd cards.

This journal, protected, but complete with ID & Password, has all the clubs, forums, user groups, web sites, blood banks, bars, investment houses, etc. that "might care" to know what happened. Then each of these organizations can post, laugh, grieve, or whatever seems appropriate. Just something I've done since before the war, since if you wait till it's needed, it's too late.

Overkill? Maybe. I guess only time will tell. ;-)
