Western funerals are possibly THE most horrible events ever. Therefore, I NEVER EVER want to get buried like the rest of my family.

Something along the lines of a short ceremony with flowers and some weird video of me being stupid as a drunk teenager (to completely take away the credibility of the whole ceremony), then my urn will be carried across town (wherever that will be) in a jazz cortege, my ashes will be sprinkled somwhere dear to me, then everyone goes to the afterparty with free alchohol and REALLY good food.

Therefore people just MIGHT go home happier than after a boring "beautiful" ceremony that lasts for hours and people come out crying not because they miss the dead one but becuase it just bored them to tears and then they go to a memorizing occasion where they are served mediocre food and take turns to make totally fake and not to mention unbelievably boring speeches. ICK!

------------------
People who get murdered are victims, people who get killed in war are casualties and people who don't get killed at all are just plain boring. -Said by me-

In my dream world people wear trenchcoats and piss on sanity's grave.

I totally agree.

We shouldnt mourn the death but celebrate the life they led. I've only been to one funeral and that was enough for me.

I never cried when my grandparents died, i think only loosing a close friend or parent would make me cry.

For my funeral, I want all my favourtite music played, all the stupid things I did told by people who knew me, takin the pi** out of the lame things I said to women.

ANd then all mu achievements *silence*.
All my drawings, piano pieces, trance music etc.

I've never understood the urge to make everyone sad when you die. I want there to be fireworks and fluffy animals to pet. Seriously, literally, i want there to be a box full of puppies and a fireworks display.

------------------
Yeah, you stay here and take life seriously. I'll go and have some fun.

Aye, I want mine to upbeat. Basically, my will will dictate that my funeral should be "something I would want to attend".

I'm definitely being cremated, and to the tune of something really silly, like "Danger, High Voltage" ("Fire in the disco!").

Then everybody should get good and drunk, and have a splendid evening.

If people leave my party upset, I'll be spinning in my... err... urn I suppose! Until I get scattered somewhere. Then I'd probably just twitch.

Burn all that useful body-matter, or leave it all to rot in the ground?

No way, I'm donating my corpse to science. That way I can be useful in death, even if I may not have been in life.

I agree that funerals suck. But I never have to worry about mine, because I'm planning on never dying. Really, with all the advancements that will take place in nano- and bio-tech this century, why should we worry about death?

Hell, I could be placed in a packing crate and have a freeway be built over where i'm buried and I'll never know the difference, b/c I'll be dead.

I have found that you can transform your character solely by the power of belief: as you believe yourself to be, so you shall become over time.

That thought scares me. I feel we should be encouraging more people to die, not allowing the masses to live forever.

Funny that people get a little sad when someone they know well dies

While I agree that remembering a person for what they did is great, there's nothing wrong with people showing a little emotion when they lose someone.

I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

"I want them to lower me into my casket on wires, and halfway down just stop and hit me with the strobelights and turn on the techno music"

then i want them to just cut all the wires and have everyone hear the snapping of my bones on the impact and have one of those record screetching stop noises. then the hole where the casket is in just blows up since its pre-paacked with C4.

personally, i'd like an encore at my funeral.

I really don't care what they do with me once I'm dead. Heck, they can throw me in a dumpster down the street.

you know, i dont really want people looking at my dead cadavor either.

i kina want a private ceromony with flowers where i am laied to rest quietly with my baby blanket and a piece of my art.

either that, or there is a funeral home in my current area witch will turn your cremated ash into a diamond. and that would be pretty cool. as long as no one wore me as julery. I would then want to be dropped into a small creek in a wooden box. that would be awsome, and meaningful to me.

IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ

Employees dying on the job are faling to fall down. THIS PRACTICE MUST STOP as it becmes impossible to distinguish between death and the natural movement of he staf.

Any employee found dead in an upright position will be dropped from the payroll.

Using real dead bodies in a horror movie would be great.

They could chop up my cadavar with chainsaws and things. And even being dead I'm sure I can put on a livelier performance than Keanu Reeves.

Become a Zombie. It's the way forward. Albeit a slow and shuffling way.

A re-enactment of the final moments? That's an interesting, if incredibly morbid, idea.

You wouldn't imagine how many wives/children/etc. come into funeral homes to make arrangements for their deceased parent/sibling/relative and completely ignore the wishes of the deceased.

nah, I wouldn't like the decreased intellect and rotted appearance.

I'd go for vampire instead. I would have to give up sunlight, my old silver fillings, and garlic bread, but I would have everything else.

I don't want a funeral of any kind. I've always wanted to do what Mort does, donate every usable inch of my body to medical use. I'm actually getting a card for it so they can identify me as someone who wanted that when I'm dead.

I want it for the same reason Mort (and I'd imagine most) do...to know that my body will, instead of uselessly rotting six feet under, help people.

I want my body to be bronzed, and set up in the center of town, to forever be a perch for pigeons and a target for stupid high school pranks.

Cremation for me, although I'd prefer it if my body was loaded into a space shuttle and shot off towards the sun... either that, or donation to science.

And for a grave?

"Here doesn't lie the body of Tony Keen, because we ran out of money and had to sell him to a medical research facility."

And the will to back it up: "You can have this, etc. etc. but only if you fulfill my wishes of how I want you lot to treat my cadaver. If you don't, you get nothing, and all of it should be given to someone more deserving than you selfless b*******."

I like this one. My sword or gun in hand, the armaments of my vanquished foes decorated around me...hardly original but it would be a good way to be remembered.

But, because it seems that is verrry unlikely, I will jump on this box of puppies bandwagon.

my uncle always said he didn't want a funeral of any kind.
so my aunt had a 'gathering' of friends, co-workers and relatives.
no one in my immediate family showed up because we all knew what my uncle's wishes were. now my aunt won't speak to any of us. that was 2 years ago. oh well. :/

When I die im getting cremated and made into fireworks. That way there can be a firwork show at the funeral!
Or, if someone kills me, i'll get turned into bullets so my next of kin could vanquish my living foes!>_>
