ideally no one would even notice
and if i leave the planet slightly improved from my time here that would be even better.
once you can get past your fear of death, it all gets a lot simpler.
the really interesting question is - WHY DO YOU ASK ?

I've made a mark, and thus people will talk - and scheme to get their hands on whatever I leave behind. Not all the talk will be positive. But then, I never cared about what losers say, even while alive. To the extent I have any enemies, they are self-appointed, and so far I've got a good record at outliving them (in a couple senses) all. I don't care now, and I'm pretty sure I won't care later.
I live my life not worrying about what people say or think about me. I'm certainly not going to worry about what they would say or think when I'm gone. I know that the people who love me and are close will miss me.

I LOVE this reply!
Readers may not like my faith, but then again, as others have posted here, I do not live my life based on what others say about me.
As a Christian, death has a great importance to me. To me, it is the opening of the door to eternal life. That means I have to face God and give an account of myself.
It is far more a concern of mine what God says / thinks about me when I die, than what people do. That does not mean I do not care for others or for what they say. They may not like how I live or what I say, but I want to live as to have this testimony: He lived according to the way he said he believed. In other words, that there is not an inconsistency between what I say and how I act.
One other thing, I detest those funerals where people say of the deceased that he/she didn't have an enemy in the world.
First, because such a thing is impossible and therefore a lie.
Second, because I choose to be a friend to all that is good and holy and righteous, and the enemy of all who are wicked, evil, deceivers and liars.
It all depends from which group the comments come about me after I die that matters.

What people think about me now or in the future does not matter to me. For all I care, they can put "UNKNOWN" on my gravestone.
