I just thought if it's guaranteed to happen it might be good to ruminate on it instead of ignore it or put it off for later.

According to the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the process of dying/incarnation is very similar to the process of going to sleep and then manifesting either as a dream-object or in the physical world as deep sleep ends. In deep sleep, thoughts dissolve completely as the ego is temporarily "dead". If one dreams, a dream world arises with dream objects after which that too dies. When one wakes up, the physical world appears and dies again when deep sleep comes.
The Indian sage Ramana Maharshi had a life-transforming experience in which he "viewed" his own death and funeral. After that, he came to realization of the nature of reality and became one of the most revered sages of India. You might want to check him out as well.
