Your Funeral

[Native spirit]

Well i know what music i want after that im not to bothered, i wont be there to see it. not in body anyway.


Namaste

you get to thinking of funerals at my age....several close people have gone to the "Happy Hunting Ground" in the past year.

But Mike is still here,cycling like a maniac and looking for more adventures.....Life is for the living !!

At my funeral I want to hear (and I believe I WILL hear them)..."Jerusulem" by William Blake.....In that hym he's talking about when Jesus came to England as youth.....It's awful to think that a man who wrote such beautiful songs and poetry died penniless.

The second hym I want playing is "All things Bright and Beautiful".

And then I suppose there will be a reception....I want everyone there to get pleasantly drunk....and give me a really good send off.....I'll maybe be the happiest bloke there !!

Love and blessings......Mike

Yes ,I do go to church occasionally....and I often come away thinking "What **** that was"....but sometimes what they have said makes sense.

Glad tidings of comfort and joy Tra la la etc

Mike

I would love to have a funeral that is colourful and full of music and fun. I really want some Van Morrison played....probably Glad Tidings.

I do not want a service that is religious but something that reflects my belief in something bigger than us.

If I am lucky enough I would love my last moments to be on top of Mauna Kea in hawaii at sunset!

The point that I'm trying to get everyone to pick up on is: whatever you want your funeral to be like, you need to discuss it with your prospective survivors, you need to arrange it, you need to pay for it, NOW, while you're on THIS side of eternity.

You CAN'T "cross that bridge when you come to it."

Saying that, I am partial to the little creatures of the soil...and those of the deep oceans. So chuck me overboard or bury me and let those little souls nibble away at me.

am on the same thought boat!

So, my friends, which of the two methods of body disposal shall it be?

I personally don't care....just cremate me and have a short memorial and tell funny stories.......as soon as I leave my body behind, I'm sure it will not be of interest to me.......Juanita

oops, I meant "little or no" interest..
