Thus far, Ghosts Season 5 has been terrific, from the house dealing with a mummy crisis during Halloween, Trevor getting the opportunity to be a father, and major revelations coming out about Alberta. My favorite moment thus far, however, was in the season premiere, “Soul Custody”: Knowing that he may be about to face his imminent death, Jay prepares for his potential future as a ghost… by grabbing a cookie and sticking it in his pocket. It’s a moment that has stuck in my mind in the weeks since, and it has made me wonder: how might one best prepare for death living in the universe of Ghosts?
Deciding to do something with the thought instead of just letting it run around my brain like a hamster on a wheel until the return of Ghosts in February 2026, I decided to make a list of all of the things I’d want to have with me on my person when I died to ensure the most comfortable, entertaining, and safest afterlife possible. Boiling it all down, I think I would good with these 13 essentials.
