  • Imagine a world where, instead of shying away from mortality, we embrace it by leaving Last Wishes-inspiring acts of kindness and goodwill-to be carried out in our honor. Drawing inspiration from a heartwarming story of a young man's simple yet impactful last wish, Kyle Tevlin explores the transformative power of turning sorrow into positive action. Encouraging us to rethink our experience of death, the speaker envisions a future where Last Wishes become the norm, injecting genuine joy and fulfillment into the final farewell. Join this visionary talk and ponder the possibilities of making the end of life more life-affirming and, unexpectedly, joyful.
    Kyle Tevlin is a graphic designer in Chester County by day, and at all other times a crusader for better goodbyes at end of life. She is the founder of ‘I Want a Fun Funeral,’ encouraging people to have uplifting and unforgettable farewells. Coming from a big, humor-filled family in North Jersey, she takes having fun very seriously. She hopes her talk inspires everyone to leave some awesome Last Wishes before their number’s up, doing good in the world and of course having fun in the process. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Talk about death , let me add on , I love coming here to read the comments. Some people (like myself at times) are obsessed with reading comments. For example, you find yourself reading this comment right now, which does not contain any useful information, only curiosity, that drives you to waste your time. Have a good day.😂😂😂

    One of the dumbest TED talks I've ever heard! What a purely western way to look at death, do your good deed while you are alive! And don't try to buy a clear conscience after your death. Everyone knows he's going to die, you don't have to think about that all the time. One of the first philosophers, Socrates, said, "Why should I fear death? Because it is unknown? I believe in God, and if there is no God there is nothing. And the night you slept and no thoughts had not been the most beautiful night". I am a modern philosopher and I see life as an incurable disease that will eventually kill you. I also believe in God and am good to other people now, I don't need to buy a clear conscience after my death!

      I like ur words "life is incurable disease, (e.g. stage 4 cancer), that will eventually kill you"
      I see my world is like stage 4 disease despite advancing technologies yet it deteriorating overall life quality moment used to be in decade. E.g. increasing temperature, inflation and take more effort to achieve the norms standard of living.
      Isn't technology has make us to work harder like a slavery with extra step?

      It’s because you believe in the cult of god that you are unable to consider an alternative to something that wasn’t dictated to you. The rest of us think you are dim.

      Thank you! That makes me so happy. That's exactly one of the ways I've pictured this really being able to make a difference. I know for myself, the moment I wrote down some last wishes, my eventual death felt a lot less awful. Knowing there would be good coming out of here felt like a game-changer. Thank you for what you do in the world!
