So I'm going to a funeral today. And I was wondering what everyone wanted for there furnerals.
For mine, I want everyone to wear bright colors. I don't want them to play sad, calm music. Play something energetic, and they wouldn't be as devastated. Also some kind of planned thing that looks like its ping haywire to distract people from there dead loved one. People telling jokes. And maybe some fat clown in a stained shirt and dirty sweat pants to come in and say "someone order a stripper? Oh wait, wrong address."
Or something like that
I'd love for everybody to just dress casually and play heavy metal music! It's not disrespectful if that's what the decedent wants! Also I'd like to be cryogenicly frozen if I have the $ ;)
iI want it to be a huge party with songs liked "Staying Alive", "Highway to Hell", etc.
There are so many awesome ideas, and as a disclaimer, I work at a cemetery so I see this stuff all the time.
I want to be rocketed into the sun, or the cheap version of that. - Viking funeral. Flaming arrows shot at my body in a wooden boat filled with hay and pitch set off to sea.
Or, my cremated remains put in an air tight, water proof jar that also has a rolled piece of parchment that is a treasure map to a large portion of my estate. Then that jar is to be tossed into an ocean and it either needs to be completely made out of metal so sonar hits off it or has something that puts out a faint radio beacon. But the treasure is actually a church, a really pushy one that asks for donations so the television preacher can upgrade his private jet, and it needs to be located in Italy.
But in all seriousness, no viewing, cremate me and throw me in the ocean or bury me in a national park in the mountains, use my money to take a nice trip and move on with life. I'm just a person
My only request for my funeral is that everyone laughs, tells jokes and stories. The only time to quietly sit and reflect will be when Alvin Row by Animal Collective plays :)
My only request is that if I don't outlive Morrissey, I want him to play at my funeral ceremony, which will be catered by Johnny's Pizza and Trejo's. Other than that, my body is getting donated to science.

I like this idea of being rocketed into the sun :) although it'll prob be super expensive. But who knows? By the time I die, maybe space travel will be extremely affordable. Currently it costs your weight in gold to put yourself into space.
Irish funeral here.
Drinking and reminisce about the good times.
I went to one yesterday :(
And IDK I'm only 13 :P
I want to be put on a raft with fireworks, have the whole thing covered in gasoline, be pushed out onto a lake and lit up with a roman candle. Could you imagine the huge display of explosives and light?
Viking funeral would be good. Sing me out with bawdy Irish tunes, and end it with some beautiful Irish fiddle accompanied by the acoustic guitar. "the Fields of Athenry" will do.
If not, "Comfortably Numb" would be pretty great.
I put the fun in FUNerals but I'd like to be cremated and planted with a tree
Since I'm the funny person in my group of friends and in sure I will be for the rest of my life, I want wise cracking jokes told throughout the whole thing. I would love if I could get a professional comedian to come, preferably Adam Sandler or Will Ferrel, and everyone just has a good time remembering all of the good times.
If I'm dead, I have no requests. I'd prefer to be cremated - but Ive no objection to any amount of thing (because I'm dead). You can put me in the garbage for all I care - my dead point of view is irrelevant.
I have no plans to die, I want to live forever.

Made me laugh but can't resist a Dark Knight Rises quote, "Want, doesn't get."
