I desperately want to be made into one of those LifeGems when I die. Then I want to have a large party where everyone gets at least one glass of Thraequila, and one of the revellers drinks me. They won't know which glass I'm in: I'll have been placed in the bottle of tequila prior to mixing, and the hired third-party bartender will have mixed up all the cups. Eventually, somebody will take a swig and go, "Oi, I think I just swallowed Thrae." If I'm too large to have that done (ie, I show in the bottom of the cup), then I'll simply have myself cut into smaller pieces that hide a little more easily. That way, five or six people can drink me.

Put me in the ground and leave me alone.. This is supposed to be rest. Take the insurance money and make certain that my children get well cared for and well educated. Forget the shell that is my body, and remember the things I have done.

I would rather not have a funeral, but instead cut up into pieces and fed to siberian tigers.
If they went behind my back and had one for me, I would raise back up from the dead and kill everybody there who cried or who wasn't drunk. And if he is still alive when I pass on, I want Gilbert Gottfried to give my eulogy.

I'm not a big fan of funerals. I think I'd just like family and a few really close friends to have a little get together. I'm still debating on whether I want to be cremated or burried. My mother always said "the land is for the living, not for the dead". If I was burried I wouldn't want it to be in a cemetary. It would have to be somewhere in the mountains under a cool tree with maybe a rock as a headstone or just plant some wild flowers on top of me. Also, if I was burried I woudn't want a big elaborate cascate... just a nice wooden box would work. Basically, I want little to no money spent on it, I don't want it to be a big who-ha, and I don't want people to sit around and be sad or sulk about me dying...it's all just part of the process.

Black, shiny coffin, with Hotrod flames, and chrome sidepipes... Highspeed funeral procession. We're talking hayabusa outriders, to clear intersections, highspeed, pro-driver piloted, hearse(sp?), you get the idea.... And then a really big party after...where everybody has to hand over the keys at the door

I've just been to a funeral for a family member recently. I was amazed at how quiet everything was.
I could care less what happens to my body after I die. I hope I've used it so much its completely worn out. I just don't want any money spent on it. Do whatever needs to be done to dispose of it and move on with your life.

Assuming that I am buried, and not cremated, I absolutely, positively do NOT want a flat headstone. I don't care for the way cemetaries tend to just mow right over the top of them. It seems a little disrespectful, somehow. I was a pain in the ass alive, and I'll be a pain in the ass dead. Someone, somewhere is going to have to mow around me for the rest of eternity.

when it happens take my body off somewhere and just dump me in the woods or something. Let the animals eat me. Then I want everyone to fucking rage for as long as possible. I dont care if the people knew me or not. The most important thing I can see comming from my death is for as many people as possible to make memories. Not necessairly about me but I want for people to be talking about the party that followed my death for a long time.

This is really fascinating. I am most interested in those people who have already chosen the music. This is somthing I ponder occasionally, so the fact that you have already decided is neat. I personally still have not decided what the music should be, so I guess I should drive carefully until I do. Otherwise, cremation. I was raised Catholic, tho am not really thinking that way now. I saw too many open casket funerals as a child and just think its so odd. I mean, gee, these people are cold and gray; that's not how I remember them. Anyway, Big party, lots of music (all my favorites) and my immediate family is to spread my ashes on the Washington state coast and the Maui coast. That way they get a vacation out of it.

Another thing, while we're on this morbid subject- whats with those people who take out a plan on paying off their burial plot? I knew someone who did that, like the whole funeral, stone and six-by-2 section of land was theirs when they kicked of, for a monthly payment.
Bizarro! I can understand having insurance etc so your family isnt left destitute when you kick off, but isnt that a bit sick? Or is it just me?

I want to be turned into a LifeGem as well, and passed on through the family for generations.
"Lila, you're 16 now, it's your turn to wear GreatGrandma Emily. Take good care of her, and don't wear her in the shower." But, I still want a grave and a coffin. Only, I want it to be motion sensored so that when people walk by, a fake zombie pops up out of the grave where I am supposed to be.

As for the party (and it will be a party), I'd like my funeral to be my last work of art. Just some crazy, memorable piece of performance art, preferably ending with me or my tomb permanently on display, rotating between the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Louvre, and John Stamos's house (just because).

as for my own, i don't know. i'd like really good music, but i love so much music i can't really decide. i would like to think that i would do something really cool but seriously i am boring and my family wouldn't be original enough. one thing i like about where i live is that when the funeral procession drives anywhere in our province all traffic pulls over for them and is very respectful of the fact that your family is sad. it meant a lot to me when driving in a funeral procession with my aunt.

I just thought about it when I read your post, and it strikes me as a bit freaky, at least in my dead-end mind. Knowing myself, I'll be thinking about this for a while. My personal choice of funeral: A field on a rainy day. A band is playing Pantera's "Walk", with a philharmonic orcestra. 40 exotic-looking dominatrixes are showing everybody to their seats. Friends and family watching, as my freeze-dried corpse, standing in a hot-air balloon basket, is smiling at them. The bomb technicians have finished rigging my corpse with 80 kgs of C4, one kilo for each year of my life. As the hot-air balloon with my explosive corpse sails higher up into the sky, the band stops playing. 10 kids from a local elementary school steps forward with saxophones, and starts to play "Little Spanish Flea", while lion-dancers and line-dancers clash in front of the seats. When the balloon reaches 6000 feet, the crowd yells "GOODBYE YOU BASTARD" and throw their hats in the air. The explosives go off, sending my corpse in all directions.

I want to be creamated, brought to the top of Half Dome in Yosemite, and scattered to the wind. That way, when anyone wants to visit me (as seems to be wont in the family I come from), they have to go to Yosemite. So beautiful.
Then I want everyone to go get pissed and party their asses off. |

It's kind of funny 'cause I just got home from a funeral and was going to post a thread about it. I don't want a funeral but I know my survivors will do what ever they want. I personally believe we should celabrate the life of the deceased and not mourn their death. There is, of course, sadness in the loss of a loved one but remembering the good things certainly makes the passing easier to take.
I want to be cremated in a private cerimony without all the fuss, no viewing, no service, no graveside prayers etc... all that does is prolong the grief. Take the money used for the service and have a vacation on my behalf.

I'm really liking the cremated and shot into space idea.
It's nice to think my loved ones could look up at the stars and think of me, from time to time. However, I think I'd just be happy knowing some people showed up for my funeral, if that's possible. |
