well my view on a subject that a lot of people will not comment is this when your number is up there is nothing you can do about it so live life for today as that is as much as you can do ,,
I think the biggest regret that I'll have when on my death bed is that I'm not immortal.
1. I never took death hard but I always remembered the joy I felt in Mom, Dad and my sister Juanita and how much I loved them. I view death as a part of life.

2. See above and below in answers 1, 3, 4, 5, & 6.

3. A part of life. It HAS to happen.

4. A part of life. It HAS to happen.

5. Absolutely nothing until they actually experience the matter of death.

6. Set aside money for cremation or will your body to science and they will cremate you for free and send the ashes back to your family. This business of an expensive fancy wancy box to put you into, the crying, sobbing, relief that your dead in a caring or non-caring way, the flowers and fancy wancy box cost is ALL too much for me. Just have a party and celebrate that I'm finally gone or that I was kinda a good guy and dance and have fun. The only requirement is that music has to be Classic Rock and Oldies!

Party hearty!!
People don't talk about death. They avoid the subject as if avoiding it will make death go away. I don't understand it as knowing I can die any second is why I enjoy life. It is the motivation for most of my actions. It does not depress or make me sad to think of death. I miss the people I have known but in a way envy them as well as I think there is something magical about death. The final release from the material world. To be completely free....even if it is just for a single moment in time.
I don't mind the Subject, I just feel you haven't been paying attention because I have covered that topic already in many other places. You are probably still in your 2nd decade but we can't confirm that with you using an icon instead of a picture. Trust me, as the decades mount, so will the pile of deceased folks you knew. It isn't easy to get used to, but life is just a way station anyway. Death is the next stop.
Regarding question 4, they usually figure it out after watching it a few times. Grandparents, other school mates, etc. As the robot said in the Star Trek movie, That unit no longer exists.
