Your Funeral

[Belly]

What will it be like? I've been thinking about what mine will be like. I'm only 53 so I'm hoping it won't be for a while yet...
Anyway, it will be a Humanist ceremony, no god bothering stuff and maudlin hymms. Hopefuly a a close friend will say something about me, and then you get three songs.
So, what would yours be?
Mine will be: I know what I like in your wardrobe (Genesis)
Up the Junction (Squeeze)
Hey Ya (Outkast)
And then I'm Smoke!

 

[Breedon]

i dont want any hymms dull and boaring i think.
but then how do you want to leave this place up a chimmey or in the ground?

 

[ianrauk]

It would certainly not be maudlin and no suits either. Hopefully a few peeps will have some nice things to say about me before I enter the furnace. Have a few rock n roll numbers blasting out followed up by a big booze and nosh up for peeps. My ashes can then be tipped in the River Thames to be washed away around the Oceans of the world for ever more.

 

[TVC]

I'm not having one.

 

[XmisterIS]

I want to be shot out of a cannon live on TV, wearing nothing but a crotchless g-string and a big furry Russian hat.

 

[Dayvo]

Hopefully I'll miss mine.

Don't want a fuss, not even a ceremony.

Freeze-dried, shaken and scattered somewhere where the sun shines (Greek islands or Australia).

And I don't want a headstone anywhere.

 

[gb155]

I want to be carried Peloton style

And I don't want a headstone anywhere.

Got a tune for you...

 

[GrumpyGregry]

RC Requiem Mass please.
Colourful ties with your suits gentlemen and no one in black
SWMBO has the music/hymns listed
The Cure's Lovesong at the crematorium as the coffin rolls
Scatter my ashes on the South Downs (SWMBO knows where)
£1000 in the whip for my mates to raise a glass and raise hell.

A good mate of mine was a real hard bastard, he could start a fight in an empty room. Sadly, he passed away two years ago. I like the headstone on his grave. It says 'Who are you looking at?'

Got a tune for you...

Good call, but I'd prefer this:

Good call, but I'd prefer this:

Goody, a country music funeral-off...

 

[Aperitif]

Goody, a country music funeral-off...

In that case, I'd like to be buried in Dolly Parton.

I keep telling the GF (who's RC) that a bin bag and skip would do for me.

The bin bag has to be black though .
