Amber Cortes hosted a dinner where guests shared their wishes for their own funerals, including food preferences, music, caskets, and burial sites. Some guests joked about unusual casket ideas like being buried in a photon torpedo from Star Trek, while others wanted lots of chocolate but no raspberries or peppers at their funeral meals. One guest did not want to be buried next to a famous person like Jim Morrison. The dinner was meant to reimagine traditions around death.
