I partially decided on where I want to be buried.

[looseliam]

would i look pretty in a knicker?????

Depends on your leggs.

 

[Riverrick]

You have a boyfriend?

 

[Riverrick]

Oh...ok. That's nice.

I don't remember you talking about him. I'm glad you have someone....who you can be buried next to.

 

[Pushover]

I so want a New Orleans style funeral with all the trimmings, dancing, and music. Funerals should be a celebration of life, not a mourning of death, and I think New Orleans captures that so well.

cremation no funeral ashes spread on a white sandy beach,

 

[Riverrick]

I have the hall rented for the after party and the food pick out also.

Now I just hope I can fit into my suit.

 

[TravisMT81]

I also want cremated, not sure where I want spread yet lol!!!!

 

[Ninja108]

Won't matter to me what happens... I'll be dead and thus, unable to object

 

[chatolandia]

I want a party and a cremation. They can put my ashes were my grandparents are buried, since my parents will probably go there too. and its a nice place

I've thought about my funeral a bit and have decided on a few things...
First! No one can wear clothing that is more than 50% black. There will be bouncers at the door to keep out anyone that does not follow this rule.
Second: I want a juggling clown and 2 mimes present: one with the face of joy, the other sorrow.
Third: I want a mariachi band at the event.
Fourth: The song that will be played while everyone is being seated will be the Bee Gees "Stayin' Alive".
I have not quite finished thinking what other things shall happen at my funeral...
Oh, and the last thing: I want to just be buried, but not sure where or if it'll be with anyone.
Afterward though, I'm sure everyone will go to a nice, fancy restaurant for dinner or lunch since that's whats always happened after a funeral in my family.

Cremation is the way to go for me. I have a family member's ashes on my shelf ---really should figure out what everyone wants to do with him...3 years is not too long a time---is it? Have to get around to it sometime soon.

 

[Riverrick]

I kinda like this one for when I go...........

I'm not scared of dying,
And I don't really care.
If it's peace you find in dying,
Well then let the time be near.
If it's peace you find in dying,
And if dying time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there.
I hear that its cold way down their.
Yeah, crazy cold way down their.

[Chorus:]
And when I die, and when I'm gone,
There'll be one child born
In this world to carry on,
to carry on.

Now troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell.
Swear there ain't no heaven and I pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Yes only my dying will tell.
Yeah, only my dying will tell.

[Chorus]

Give me my freedom for as long as I be.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me.
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally.
Oh I want to go naturally.

Here I go,
Hey Hey!
Here comes the devil,
Right Behind.
Look out children,
Here he comes!
Here he comes! Hey...

Don't want to go by the devil.
Don't want to go by demon.
Don't want to go by Satan,
Don't want to die uneasy.
Just let me go naturally.

and when I die,
When I'm dead, dead and gone,
There'll be one child born in our world to carry on,
To carry on.

cremation no funeral ashes spread on a white sandy beach,

that is a nice way to do it.

I've always admired this type of funeral. You're right. Funerals should be a celebration of life. I want my funeral to be a party.

I think that Irish Wakes are a good way to do it as well.....a celebration of the person's life.

 

[nijuusei]

i don't really care what happens to this body once i've left it but..
if i could choose.. i think i'd want my body to be burned.. but in open air! <= like qui gon jin in star wars
i don't want it to be shoved into an oven lol
i dun't like ovens o.o

The show six feet under had me morbidly thinking a little and it actually made me think about my funeral a bit, I told my boyfriend today that I wanted to be buried with him.

have you actually decided anything on your funeral yet?

No, it's morbid and it's personal, and keep it in your will.

have you actually decided anything on your funeral yet?

And I was floored when you told me this. I feel exactly the same. I want to be next to you -- for an eternity.

Right now the plans call for cremation and to be placed next to my grandmother.

The setting is under a tree and a memorial park high lighted by a massive water fall in tribute to Al Jolson. When the atmospheric conditions are right, you can hear the water fall every where.

Tis aways breezy there as it is about 5 miles from the beach. And it is quite green and sort of park like.

If i do change my mine - i might opt for the North Sea.

Problem is what to do with my art and poster collection and i am thinking i shall donate it all to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids for one of their yearly auctions along the allies of Broadway theatres in New York.

Odd i have a will here which must be destroyed, as i would hate to see it carried out now - times do change - and a new one must be written.

Anyone ever see the Masterpiece Theatre presentation of Bleak Street by Charles Dickens from about 15 years of so - with Dame Diana Rigg and Denholm Elliott. Tis a reminder of the pharase "it was the best of times, it was the worst times."
