PLAINS, Pa. (AP) — A man who always joked that he didn't want to venture into the afterlife hungry got his wish when he was buried with two cheesesteaks from his favorite sandwich shop — Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia. According to his grandson, Dominic Lussi, when asked what he wanted to take with him when he died, Richard Lussi replied, "What do you think? Pat's cheesesteak!" "No onions," his grandson said he would say, "because they'll come back to haunt me." The 76-year-old father of four died of heart complications on Oct. 10. "We hear that there's other cheesesteak places in Philly but we haven't seen them," his son, John Lussi, said. Richard Lussi loved the sandwiches even though he had a bad heart and his doctor had warned him to watch what he ate, said Dominic Lussi. At family gatherings, Richard Lussi would often challenge family members to drive 2 1/2 hours to Philadelphia and back to get the sandwiches. So the day before his funeral, his son, grandson and two friends made the trip to pick up cheesesteaks for the coffin. They had planned to buy just one until they remembered a piece of advice he had given them: "If you're going to Pat's you always get two, you never order just one." Pat's owner, Frank Olivieri Jr., said he was flattered and bewildered by someone choosing to be buried with his sandwiches. As for what the second cheesesteak might be for, he speculated: "Maybe it's a bribe for Saint Peter." cbsaustin.com/news/offbeat/man-gets-his-dying-wish-to-be-buried-with-cheesesteaks-11-18-2017-191530852

Dungeness crab. I'll have to arrange to die "in season."

Sockeye salmon from the Pacific Northwest and cured octopus stuffed olives from Mercat de la Boqueria in Barcelona. I could actually die happily if I had both of those right now.

Cheese. And being that I will be cremated, shredded cheese would probably work best.

Have you ever tried cabbage rolls made in vinegar sauce instead of a tomato sauce? They are outstanding!

Sandman: I think that's the kind I get at the Uke deli... they do not have tomato sauce on them. So they must have the vinegar.

Finally someone else who calls them golumpky!!! One of my favorite dishes, I buy them premade from the Publix deli department, I think the brand is Park Avenue. My mother used to make fantastic golumpkies but never taught me.

Tough to answer since I don't plan to be buried - or even cremated. I'm far too frugal for that.
Instead, I'm donating any organs which might still be useful with the rest going to a teaching hospital. Perhaps my remains can serve as a bad example. Heck, if it were legal, I'd even sell my corpse in advance (to pay for the wake/memorial/party), but for obvious reasons, it's not.
