    Now I hope this doesnt happen for a very very very long time, at least till im 80, but ever wonder what your funeral would be like, who would show up for it etc?

    I'm telling all my friends that I'm not showing up to their funerals unless they show up to mine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 924 ✭✭✭Elliemental


    I'd be more interested in reading my obituary, tbh. The funeral would be good, though. It'd be amusing to hear what those family members who grate on my nerves have to say about me, once I'm dead.

    I've had mine planned since I was 6. Can't wait!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    there'd be about 7 people at it and I've instructed my next of kin to spend as little as possible to it and to spend the budget on booze

    Not trying to derail the thread to current affairs - however, David Norris has prepared a CD of himsef to play at his funeral.

    It starts with "I don't think you were expecting to hear from me quite so soon, but..." etc

    Seems like a very nice idea. Video, written message - why not?

    Anyone experienced that, apart from a will?

    If the way i hope i die goes to plan, there wont be a funeral.
    But if it doesnt, i dont want any long boring mass. Just a very quick burial and a piss up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    Well I hope there will be a good sing song at the end of mine!

    I'm just looking forward to all the Facebook wall posts that I won't be able to see.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭Hank_Jones


    A long line of beautiful young female models, all weeping uncontrollably.

    That's the way I picture it anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,080 ✭✭✭Gunsfortoys


    I want Jesus to be there.

    They'll probably want their money for the work done the night before you died, on you! ;)

    I have told my husband what I want, so hopefully it will go as planned.

    A civil ceremony with various pieces of music that I like.
    The celebrant will lead the ceremony, but the content will be mainly personal comments, readings, music from family and friends.

    And I will be buried here (check out the cool ass jet black horses that carry the coffin!)

    I know it won't matter a damn as seeing as how I will be dead, but still.

    I don't know who David Norris is?

    I want some FX specialist to raise my body outta the coffin and I go "BOO!" Whenever a loved one goes past. Want em to think back and laugh, not cry


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Hopefully all my oldest pals would still be around but they might not show up on time or even be aware I'm gone till it's to late :(

    Is there any way that when I die I can have some legally binding covenant that says a priest has to read that as the homily in my goodbye mass?

    I always try to put the fun back into funeral ;)

    I know of (wasn't there myself) a teenage kid who had terminal cancer and had time to prepare his last wishes and explain them to everyone.

    Dress code at the funeral was his football team current away strip, and as far as I know, almost everyone complied.

    Another random question.
    Do you understand the meaning of the word "Random"?

    A fiver says that you have an album folder on your Facebook page entitled "Random". It contains pictures of you and your friends on an average night out.

    You're such a cynic.:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 976 ✭✭✭Arnold Layne


    I wouldn't give two f@cks who turned up and who didn't.

    Funerals are like weddings, i.e. no one wants to go to either; but you don't have to fork out cash or a present for a funeral.

    I wouldn't like a eulogy of any sort; especially one which see me being called a 'patriot', if I had shafted the lives of all around me for the sake of the lifestyles of a few.

    You're not the OP.
    The OP thanked my post.
    This means I was right (not that I'm ever wrong).

    Candy-gal1, please donate the fiver to the SSF. A worthy cause.

    Cynicism is a crappy condition.

    Who cares. I'll be dead.

    As long as the CD with my choice of song doesn't skip on the guitar solo at the church service then I don't really mind .

    Ah well, nothing wrong with that, it's to be applauded, at least you didn't say you were a realist. Cynicism is healthy. Nothing like a good dose of cynicism to keep things grounded.

    Cynicism and realism are one and the same.
    With both you see how life really is.

    I want the Kool-aid view on life. It makes you happy. Deluded, but happy.

    But what you'll get is Slash murdering 'candle in the wind' and Elton John raining on the coffin. Such is life.
