Wake.
I'm pretty sure I don't want one tbh. I want to be cremated too. It's a uva lot cheaper. If my family really wanted to do something I'd want them to just have a get together with some friends and have some food and just visit with each other.
The thing I hate the most about funerals is people talking about the dead person. "He looks so good." No, he doesn't. He looks dead with some makeup on. I don't really care to have a bunch of people staring at my dead, made up body.
Wake.
I'm not surprised to see Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson at Whitney's funeral. Al Sharpton seriously gets on my nerves.
how about ppl who dont plan for their funeral, and want the best etc = money
fkn if you cant afford it, or no one willing to gift money to make one....go the cremation way or something that fits ur budget....
I want to be put on a wooden raft and set afloat on the sea, then by an archer from afar, set ablaze like a barn up ol' Sasquatch.
After I die, of course.
I could give a what they do with my corpse after I'm dead. Entomb me in solid gold or throw me in a pool of piranhas - WGAF.
Have you ever seen a pamphlet with funeral/casket options? It goes from like Mahogany all the way down to cardboard box...i you not.
feed to stray dogs?
thats what they do with champion horses lol
tbh, at that point, you won't even care.
Funerals aren't for the dead, they're for the living, so that they can accept the death and move on.
I went to the funeral of Yelena, the girl that was murdered by Max Gelman. She was my high school classmate. Pretty depressing.
Yeah those funerals can be real downers.
Get together at a bar for my death. Everyone gets wasted. Send me out right.
I wish they weren't invited. Makes me lose a bit of respect for the family.
Selfish much? They obviously wanted them there. Who gives a what you want?
They are black, therefor you had no respect for them to begin with or is it that you do not trust black doctors but respect them anyway?
Snatch style with the funeral for Mickey's mum
If I showed up at your funeral I'd be the only one so STFU.
You buying???
no he ain't buyin mutha ra, he deadYou buying???
So I shouldn't have any say on how MY death is celebrated? Bull .
If you can't move on without some big ceremony to help you then you have bigger issues you should be dealing with. I don't mind them doing something in my honor, I just don't want the big church funeral with open casket and all the rest of the traditional crap. Get together, eat, drink and share some stories about me. That's all I'd want at the most.
Do your Will and you wont have to worry about it. Not that it matters since you'll be dead.
"Death is just around the corner. If only it would stay there."
So many people are just dying for a funeral.
U.S. President Thomas Jefferson died on July 4, 1826, the 50th anniversary of the ratifcation of the Declaration of Independence. He died five hours before John Adams. Jefferson's last words were:
"Is it the fourth?"
I really couldn't care less what happens to me after I'm dead, I've told my husband and kids that they can cremate or donate or dispose of me as they see fit; I believe the after death rituals are for the comfort of the living and I have no expectations as to how they choose to celebrate me----if they choose to do it in their minds only it's fine with me.
But I think that whatever it is you have in mind for your disposition, you MUST make sure that EVERYONE who has an opinion be made aware of your wishes. There can be a BIG generational and cultural disconnect within a family that can be made really ugly by things like funerals. My husband's adult nephew passed away 11 years ago from a brain tumor. He gave his wife instructions on what he wanted, bury him next to his dad in a plain box, no services, rent their favorite pub for the evening, invite anyone he ever knew and serve all his favorite food (including fast food) and tap a couple of his favorite kegs. The relationship between his wife and mother had always been "polite" at best, but both were at his bedside when he passed. Mom was pretty shocked a short while later when wife started planning the "party'. All broke loose with accusations of "you must be glad he's gone" and "he didn't tell you his plans because you are such a controlling ", etc. Lots of feelings were hurt but my sympathy is for the 2 little kids who have no contact with any of their paternal family since that day. Very sad situation that could have been avoided if only he had made his wishes known to all, in advance.
