I wouldn't want anyone to be there. i wouldn't want anyone to see me like that. I would want to go in piece, not having to worry about anyone other than myself in that moment.

An EMT would be nice. So that they could give me Carido-Pulminary Resuscitation and bring me back to life. Even if it was only for a few more minutes so I could tell eveyone about my cool near-death experience.

It might also be cool if that Jesus dude showed up for the party. I mean I a have only waited my entire life for him to show himself, and now, here I am taking my last breath, and guess who's coming to dinner? Well, better late than never, that's what I always say.

No one. I would not want anyone to be there in my last moment of humanity.... they might actually see that I am human, and frail. Just me and my God, whomever/whatever that may be.

I'd want my nan there (she's passed away), I'd want her beside me as my spirit guide leading me to my new "life"

My husband and my children. I would not want to die alone. No way. I love being alone - but at the hour, minute and second of my death - I want to be in someone's arms, my hands touching their skin, my head in someone's lap, my eyes resting on the people for whom I lived my life.

A script writer and a recordist, so I could go out with a really hilarious and profound set of last words.. and Robert Mugabe.. So I could punch him square in his stupid face.

I know it'd be hard but I would want my husband to be there when I take my final breath, too. He is the only person who has ever loved me (all of me) unconditionally despite my faults. He seems like the only person who will genuinely miss the presence my personality holds in this big, wide world. And, finally, he belongs to me and I belong to him for eternity, infinity, and indefinitely.

The one I let get away...the one who understands me best...my passion, my friend...I would want him there. Why? Because I haven't & will never stop loving him.

I'd like to be alone at that time in a dark room with some lights.

My 3 best friends, cause we have been through it all together, death would be fitting. My ex wife, because she was my heart and soul, and something tells me I may have lived a bit long if she was there. My older sister, she is my hero, and I would want to see her so I can harness her strength for my journey.

Everyone else can wait outside.

An English professor. That way, in the next life, I'd be able to spell, "You're".

Just my fiance so I can tell him to be happy and not to let my death ruin his life/happiness. I'd also want him to find someone else to love after I die.

I would want my wife and my children and the rest of my family with me. The act of passing from this life to the next is a special moment that most dont get to share. I cant imagine anything worse than dying alone. I would want my loved ones to be around to provide support for each other, and to be witness to the moment.

It may be selfish, because I wouldn't want anyone to see me in that way, dying in front of their eyes. BUT, I would like it, if the four most important people in my life, where there to see me off. My mother, my sister, and my friends; Philip and Sharon. Pretty morbid, I know. But I'd like to say goodbye to them, before I went, for as along as I can.

I would want my boyfriend and my family to be there before I go. I am scared of dying alone, without anyone knowing I've passed away until much later. That's why, I want someone there holding my hand and telling me I'll be fine and not to be scared anymore.

The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. Haha!

But seriously, I think I'd prefer to die in the great outdoors, and become a part of nature. I think I'd prefer to die alone, too, so that I wouldn't have to see the sadness on my family's faces.

I'd show up for the party at my wake, though, and make sure everyone laughs at least once during my funeral.
