Share please..

As inspired by another thread, I should like for my family and friends to eat me in a delicious banquet.

Can I have your toes and fingers. Loves biting me nails but run outta them sometimes. So a spare set be handy.



Personally. I'm not really bothered what happens to me. Could be in a ayear could be in fifty years. As long as I go whilst Im on or been flung off my bike I dont care.
Maybe just prop me up in a bar and all my friends and family have drinks and they fill me with beer and then just dump me somewhere. Thy could pickle me either and wait for brainy fella to find the cure for death.

I choose not to have a funeral. I will go with the alternative - Living forever!

Viva la immortality!

Dunno about that buddy, how's your dioxin levels?

This came up before, and my answer was:

Ideally, like most folks here, I'd kinda like to go out with my Atheist guns blazin', and not have any religious element to my demise. I would like to think my family and friends know me well enough to understand that it ain't how I rolled in life, so it's not cool to staple it onto me in death. I don't want to have somebody buy me into the whole absurdity on my behalf, nor do I want the slightest hint that I had some sort of deathbed epiphany. Obviously, I won't be around, so I'm not going to give a crap, but I'd just like to think my significants think enough of me to respect where I stand.

Realistically though, I know that's not going to happen. My family is quite religious, and I really don't think they'd know how to organise a funeral without a religious framework. I'm not going to leave any specific instructions on that score. Obviously, I'm so brilliant that my absence will be traumatic enough without complicating it further.

Other than that, I'd like everybody to be forced to sit through Arcade Fire's Funeral, beginning to end. It's only 47 minutes, it's thematically appropriate, and I will take every opportunity I can get to make people I like listen to that album, because good people deserve awesome music.

F*ck that, I want Arcade Fire there, performing. It'll make people absolutely desperate to get to my funeral, so people who don't know me will think "Wow, people really, really need to mourn that girl, she must have been fantastic." Then everybody will remember me fondly as the girl who gave them an Arcade Fire show they could talk about on boards.ie because that promoter wasn't involved.

It won't be a great show though, by their standards, because obviously they too will keenly feel the terrible loss to the world that my death represents. Still though, it'll be something.

I want to have all the religious elements at my funeral ...

... that'll confuse 'em and have them bickering doog and propper.

Seriously though and without doing anything illegal, how would ye like yer "funeral" to go?

As a catholic who rolls with the catholic cermonies I cant imaging anything but a "standard" funeral.
