Are you strong enough for a living funeral?

Would you be strong enough for a living funeral?

I don't want one when I'm dead, so I wouldn't waste time going to a living one

 

[Drago]

Oh Lord no, definitely not. My funeral will be ruined by the thousands of screaming female fans that'll turn up.

 

[Sharky]

It's the last thing I would do.

Funerals are not for the person being buried they are for the loved ones left behind.

I know someone who is a total shoot, married to a lovely lady.

Living funeral, he would find few people attending, lots would attend his real one to support his wife.

Only for the self obsessed.

It might make a change from someone who has never met the deceased coming out with a load of platitudes and drivel, I've been to funerals where I hardly recognised the person being buried (despite being related in some cases)

 

[swee'pea99]

There's no such thing. If you have a pulse it's not a funeral.

It seems ok to me,but i'm a ghoul who's fascinated by death,having been brought up a few steps away from a cemetery and being forced to see a dead body aged 11.

A friend of a friend who knew she was dying soon had a 'Good bye Earth' party a couple of weeks back.

Sadly the lady didn't quite survive to the pre arranged date.
But her family and friends enjoyed celebrating her life.

Pretty intense stuff.

I certainly don't want to attend my own funeral. I would turn down the invitation.

What a load of hippe rowlocks

Only for the self obsessed.

Spot on.

My daughters’ mum had a very strange ideas/fantasy about her own funeral. It was all about how many people would attend and how sad they would all be and the satisfaction she gained from looking down on it all. It was very creepy.

A lady who once worked with us was dying of lung cancer and invited close friends out for a meal which helped her deal with it and have 1 last party with her mates. A living funeral just feels wrong but each to their own.
