Funeral's don't have to be about suffering - Death isn't the end of the story for many people of faith. Leaving a legacy to the next generation is quite possibly the most meaningful thing we are capable of doing, no?
In terms of the lens of the Regret Minimization Framework (for me) I would regret not having the family I'm leaving my legacy to at my funeral.
