Your Funeral. What would it be like?

Post Reply New Topic

I tell people to keep it really simple and inexpensive.

Instead of spending money on a fancy casket and everything, save it for a statue of me sitting on my horse with my sword out leading the charge.

I hope nobody is crazy enough to actually do that, though.

My Funeral will be like my Christening, where only My Mother and the Vicar were in attendance, along with me of course.

Chances are though, Mother will be dead before me, so it will just be me and the Vicar, wouldn't suppose he would even bother to say a speech, seeing as I will be dead anyway, would be nice if he played Chopin's Funeral March as since infancy Ive considered it "my tune".

Mind you, as I no longer attend the Church of England, (They teach Jesus is God I understand), I guess there wont be a Vicar either, probably just a couple of council workers dropping my body in a hole, binmen or some such.

Body Stuff-
I would like to be buried in a pink casket adorned with cat decorations on it.

Music-
Probably some funeral-appropriate music from the 70s and 80s.

Public Speech-
My mom, step-dad, brother, and two step-sisters can write their own speeches about me. I'm sure each one has their own experience.

How I'd like to be remembered-
I'd like to be remembered as a person who has a love for cats and is sweet and down-to-earth. I'd also like to be remembered for my talents in art and music.

A plain pine box.

Buried in a grave with a somber headstone. Perhaps a carved prostrate figure draped over the stone.

Funeral music to include the Dies Irae from Verdi's Requiem.

Paid mourners in attendance. Sobbing, wailing, inconsolable women dressed in black.

I just want to be remembered, I don't much care how.

I will be dead I don't care what they do with me. Chuck me in a dumpster. Ocean would be better. Marianas Trench. I feel so isolated from the world I don't believe anyone will give a crap. My kids will remember me, that's good enough. I feel so damned worthless lately.............

i will go to the shredder

Closed casket, with a retouched photo of me in my Navy uniform on top.

Music by Enya ("Evening Falls") and Alan Parsons Project ("Days are Numbers").

Speeches - no more than 3; no more than 5 minutes each.

No photography or videography.

Immediate family and their spouses only.

Put me in the ground; then everybody parties.

= What to do with your body/remains - Dont care, I am already dead then, so doesnt matter.
= What the Funeral Music will be - Always look on the bride side of life... "Life´s a piece of s**t, when you look at it..."
= What the public speech will be about - That I dont want to bore my guest with an useless public speech, I cant hear anyway, and they are free to go on to the funeral dinner.
= How you would want to be remembered - As Schneekugel? (Sorry, dont understand the question.)

General sorry, but I dont believe in an life after death, so when I am dead I am simply dead, and all that stuff doesnt matter to me anymore anyway, so no need to plague my relatives, with my wishes after death. They shall do what comforts them best, because they will be the ones living, so their feelings matters then.

Cremation. Funerals are for the living, but something simple, small, and quick would be my ideal. Just let my ashes rest in the mountains, or near the ocean and I'm happy.

I don't care, coz I won't be there.

Couldn't care less, it's just the body packaging that's going in the ground.

In the immortal words of Holden Caulfield, "I hope to hell when I do die somebody has sense enough to just dump me in the river or something."

I'll be dead. What do I care about my funeral?

There would be no funeral. I'd be cremated, and my ashes would be thrown into the wind.
