If i die and there is nobody around to eulogize me then I am already forgotten.

I would prefer that not to happen. It feels fake.
Of course your time is your time, you spend it as you see it best fit, but haven’t you thought about reaching out to someone old and lonely before they die? That would feel to me much more likely to be meaningfull.
