I for one will not stand for anything like that when I kick the can. My will is going to specify that I want

A: The funeral to consist mostly of organized games and dancing.

B: Junk food as far as the eye can see.

C: No suits in sight! Casual clothes only.

D: My body stuffed, put in a trench coat and sun glasses, and put in the center of the room with a shotgun in one hand and a light saber in the other.

E: No one telling stories about my life, unless it is one of the hired comedians or strippers.

F: Videos played of me telling everyone everything I've always wanted to say(Ted, I never liked you. *Hired goon throws bucket of mud on Ted*).

G: All of you invited(And subsequently covered in mud).

What do you guys want your funeral to be like?

how do I want my funeral?

I want a Viking funeral. I know...cliche. But still, the theatrics are just badass. Load me up on a wooden boat (I'd settle for a crappy barge, tbh) with a pyre and lay my body on top of it. Douse me in oil, set me on fire, and then cast me out into the middle of the lake as I burn.

I then want my closest friends and family to take a tiny bit of my ashes, mix it in beer, and then drink so I will be with them always. I plan to do that with my Dad's ashes (only with some scotch). Or I can do the Keith Richards thing and snort my dad's ashes.

Realistically, however, I want to be cremated and I want my wake to be a drunken party where people celebrate my life, listen to music I enjoyed, eat and drink a lot, and reconnect with eachother. I dont really mourn people's passing myself, and while people grieve in different ways, I dont want people to mourn my passing too much.

Death can bring people together;at my roommates funeral I saw people I had not seen for a while, it was really nice sharing stories with them and catching up

and there will be debauchery.

A roller disco where my coffin is on wheels and my body is on a push cart that a priest pushes around. first person to grab my body and put it in the coffin wins.

I want a traditional funeral, but instead of being in the coffin, I want to be in the crowd watching with them. I want to watch my funeral with my friends and family. Put sun glasses on my face and I think it would look great.

More of a celebration than anything. Than I want my body dumped into the ocean, no coffin, so I can be eaten by sea life.

I also like the idea of my body being split into several pieces and people have to find them because they would be hidden in a large mansion. Or each person uses one of my body parts as a weapon and the one left standing is the winner.

I want a lot of food. cakes and stuff. closed casket, cause how do you eat after seeing a dead body? Nobody crying. No Jesus crap (she's with jesus now/god has her), I hate that so much. Swearing is allowed and encouraged. no annoying tappy shoes worn by old ladies or children. I want a cool limo, no hearse. Possibly lean my coffin out the top and open it a little, scare the hell out of people we pass.

Absolutely no black, no flowers (I'm dead, save the money >.>), no slow or sad music. I need a bit of the fun in funeral.

And if somebody tries to put me in a $1000 box, I will not hesitate to haunt them.

I want everyone to be wearing bright colors! And dancing and having fun! I don't want by death to be sad and gloomy..I want people to remember the fun we shared in life and celebrate it! I don't want the result of people knowing me to bring sorrow. ;]

I would want heavy metal music to play, instead of that bagpipe crap. Maybe Fade to Black, Pull Me Under, The Dark Eternal Night, One, Through the Never, and the song that is the story of my life, King Nothing.

There would be a video. I would appear, looking naturally awesome. "Hello, peoples." I would say. "Since I'm dead, and you're all very sad, I figured I'd pick this day to tell you all what I think of you. Because, let's be honest, I always did have the best timing, didn't I?" I'd then read from a list, talking to each individual person. Things like: "(insert name here), I always thought you were awesome. When you slept with (insert name here)'s wife, and his mother, that was really, really cool. But when you did it at the same time, that was really spectacular. But it would never match the time you did it with his wife-- and might I say, (insert female name here), great rack, as usual." I would wink at her. "The time you slept with his wife and mother at the same time, at his wedding... that was a feat. You're welcome." I'd smile.

Then, at the end, thanks to the advances of Fringe science, I would wake up, and start running around the funeral hall, chasing people.

Oh I don't know. I guess I'd like a small service with my favorite songs being played (The Beatles, Elliott Smith, etc.). That's about it. I don't want it to be overly religious or big. I don't want people to make a big deal out of it.

I dont want a funeral at all, I want my remains to be placed whatever the given circumstances are, hopefully in a beautiful spot in which i had time to think about my life, how I lived it and remember all the people that I hold dear or love along with the best moments I had, if nobody ever found my corpse and nature disposed of it'd be perfectly fitting.

Ask for my stuffed rabbit to be buried with me. I've had him since forever and when i die people are probably gonna dump it in the trash bin, so he might as well come with me. Other than that, not much, im dead anyway.

I'd want it to kick off with DMX's "Up in Here" then some sort of elegant dance performance, than a live 5 hour set from Tiesto, then a 5 hour set from Ferry Corsten. Then time for rest, then some sort of casual meal provided by Pizza Hut and Coca Cola.

Yup yup.

I'd have two funerals. My first one would be your typical funeral, and then then the second one I'd have for all the people I hate. They would think this funeral would be for them to mock me, but in reality, I would have a bomb placed in me, and it would go off, and then my enemies would join me in the afterlife. :twisted:
