Not necessarily so, could be a new dominant species by that point that also holds funerals, the way we sometimes do with our pets, or the last person on earth might be so because we migrate elsewhere, and the last person is just the last person to leave and dies elsewhere having a funeral.

Pre dig grave, stand over it, shoot in head falling backwards, land on a jukebox that plays a sad song. Sounds like a funeral to me… >

Even easier if you want to get cremated. Just jump into a volcano. >

Well, that's more like a food exploding in your microwave... then cremation >

I'm just imagining a sad-but-decisive musical score, swelling as he approaches the caldera.

It depends on what you define as a person. If your ai helper buries you in a ceremony is that a funeral? How about if Grays attend? >

The last person on earth will travel to another planet and die there, their funeral will be on the other planet. >

And who would be able to give that funeral. and don't say aliens because their first thoughts when a human dies on their planet isn't to give the a funeral probably either eat the body or despose of it >

I mean, it said the last person on Earth. There could very well be people on Mars willing to give them a funeral >

So the last person on earth will singlehandedly make it to Mars in time to die. Also if they leave then they aren't the last person on earth anymore they are just the last person to live in earth which is different. >

Best answer! 😂 >

I'm one of 7.8 billion people on Earth and I'm not having one. Unless my friends and family go against my wishes, in which case I'll haunt their asses! >

8 billion+ now >

Unless the last people on earth are morticians & undertakers, quite a few of the last won't be having funerals. >

What if everyone else leaves not dies. Last person steps on transport ship, goes to...mars, wherever. Get buried there
