some of my friends are already waiting for me. I don't want a funeral-service, my family and friends can remember me over coffee and cake in whatever way they wish

peace

Someone who's thinking ahead and making plans.

Someone who's not thinking ahead, and leaving the planning for others to do.

Just sling 'em.

Except that it's someone else who's going to have to worry about what they're going to do with your old clothes.

I want to be cremated to the song "Don't fear the reaper". Then all my loved ones to have a massive booze up and talk about their happy memories. My mum said she's booked her funeral and has arranged for us all to go for a Chinese after!

I want to be cremated, and to have my ashes buried under an oak tree

At my funeral, if people are going to wear black.......then they have to wear green too. Not just solid black because that is plain depressing and green is my favorite color.


I also want people to take turns sharing stories about stupid or funny things that I have either said or done because I want there to be laughter too. Not just tears.


And I want to be cremated.

Or leaving others to deal with the mess often left behind when folk don't/won't make preparations.

For some reason I think about my funeral more than is healthy!

I have chosen 3 songs that I would like played, one as my coffin is brought in, another for people to listen to and remember me and one final song to be played as my coffin is carried out of the church and taken to the cemetery (or played while the curtain closes at the crematorium).

I would like a religious ceremony, but I can't make up my mind whether I want to be cremated or buried. Neither seems a particularly attractive option, although I am beginning to lean towards burial more than cremation. Given that I am not exactly wealthy, I think cremation is probably the more realistic option purely for financial reasons.
