If you were going to plan your own funeral...
what would it be like?

I've always wanted to be buried in a coffin that looked like an orange crate, with sunkist stenciled on the side. This is because my mother always said that if i should die...the put me in an orange crate and bury me on the side of the road.

But what I would really want is to have a film clip made of me...starting out as a child working up to an adult...

During the service they would show the film while the song "I Started a Joke" by the BeeGees played. I would want people to be sad about my passing. Then someone would read something that I prepared...telling everyone how much I'd miss them and to just remember me on occasion...like whenever they watched rain on the window pane or snowflakes falling softly to earth.

After the service, everyone would be given a ballon and a piece of paper. They would write a farewell wish to me...tie it to the balloon and release the ballon towards heaven. Everyone would wave goodbye...

Afterward...everyone will go to some rented hall and have a big party...even people on the street would be allowed in...the day would end on a happy note....
 
Love lies bleeding

The roses in the window box are tilted to one side
Everything about this house was born to grow and die....

(This is a non-response)

Love Lies Bleeding follows the song Funeral For A Friend on Elton John's "Goodbye Yellowbrick Road" L_P.

Sorry, as you were. Hadta say it. Gotta work.

LOL...I like that...have someone save some ashes in an envelope and have them mail a letter once a month for about a year. Each envelope would have a little message saying something like..."just stopping by"..."oh...like what you did to the house..."
 
LOL

One message can be.. Hey you can finally give me that blow job that I used to beg you to do.

:eek: That's just wrong!!
 
That is beautiful Rambrat.
I want to be cremated and have my ashes mixed with those of my lover, who hopefully will outlive me because the thought of being without him kills me! Once our ashes are mixed I want them spread over the lavender feilds of Tasmania. And we will be together forever in the place we dreamed of most.

as afr as the sendoff....

few would come to a funeral. yet i want something grand. not because it's grand. actualluy it's very simple, but costly nonetheless. it's weird i guess. and i hate to put anyone through the expense. cheap coffin, sent out off the dock on a boat (hey wait, maybe i don't even need a coffin.) and strike the match.
 
Not having one!

I told my family to cremate me and spend very little doing that. Have a great big party, and have lots of fun, cause that is how I have always lived. I want to go out with a party.

Just have them prop you up on a chair in the middle of a boat with your middle finger extended. Someone pushes the boat out to sea...then hands everyone a torch...and whoever can throw their torch hard enough... gets to light your ass on fire....

it's beautiful....just make sure they are drunk first...
 
Mine will probably be so very "Young Hollywood" the way my friends are. No casket just a giant tacky portrait of me on a mini easel, flower wreaths, and a line of guys at the podium saying such things as ..."Man, she was such a good lay", all of a sudden there a commotion at the back of the crowd, the guests wondering what going on, a crotchety voice slurrs some unintelligible words, loudly and with no sense of decorum...the crowd parts slightly and stumbling through is me, no I'm not dead....I'm just drunk clucthing a bottle of champagne. I make my way to the portrait of myself comment on how nice it looks, and then I pass out cold.

that's a fucking awesome idea!! but i don't think it would work. there wouldn't be enough people (i tend to walk through life with my middle finger up) to make it definete that a torch would land. add alcohol to the mix and it's worse. so there i am floating around for all etenity with my middle finger up, covered in lichens and seagull shit.

LOL...you're not right are you?

just send invitations and place an ad in the paper stating what's to be done...you'll get enough people...

Also, pre-record yourself yelling insults to the crowd...someone's bound to find their mark. But to play it safe...hired an archer to shoot a flaming arrow at the boat...if you get out of range...
