Eulogies are generally replete with sanctimonious bullshit. What if there was a truth-in-death law that required honest reporting on the lives of dead people? What would they say about you??

It depends on who's giving the eulogy.

Some people would say I was the lowest bastard in the entire world.

Some folks would call me compassionate, thoughtful and a joy to be with.
 
Pure speculation:

the Majority: "Who was he?"
the Rest: " I miss him:( "


If I get to write my own epitaph:

Sometimes respected,
Somewhat effective,
He cared & he tried,
'Till the day he died,
From the stress,
No less.
 
I don't know what people would say.

But it wouldn't really bother me.
 
Do you remember what they sang when Dorothy's house fell upon the witch?

Thats what they will be singing when I go.
 
Me?

I would think that my kids would say I was a good father to them and showed interest in their Lives

My wife would say that she lost her best friend and the one person who never judged her.

Mt friends might say that they enjoyed my company and that I even made them laugh.

I hope no one would say or think I was a truely bad person.....
cause I'm not.
 
He was a strange strange young man... but he was a great guy... er... well he tried... er... well, he was a sexist pig that walked upright, but we can forgive him of that cause the poor bastard's dead now.

No... really, he was a great guy.
 
What would they say?

"Who was she?
Oh, yeah, April. Yeah, she was alright. Crap at telling jokes, but a decent person. But gawd, she was a moody wench!

Hey, can we get out of here now? Funerals make me nauseous.
Right, we're out of here."
 
Since I'm somewhat of a recluse whatever anyone would say about me would probably be at least a week after I died. That's how long it would take for people to figure out I was gone!!

Seriously, probably something along the lines that no one ever really knew me.
 
My family would be so busy fighting over who had the chore of cleaning my house that the funeral would not have to occur.

I have already designated the person to prepare my body though and she has agreed to leave my jewelry "as is". ;)

I honestly can't say what people would want to say. I am sure that my death would be a financial burden considering my lack of adequet preparation.
 
Probably something along the lines of:

He was a nice guy
He was cute in his own way
It's sad that he never got the one thing he wanted
We'll all miss him


And then they'd light a joint and flush my ashes down the toilet, because I've told my family I want my friends to dispose of my ashes, and I've told my friends I want them to smoke a joint while they flush me.
 
Oh my mom would cry, my dad would bawl his eyes out, I think maybe hubby might be upset, but only because that means he has to put up with the rest of the family who would probably dance on my grave....

Now my friends would be the ones talking about how I lived the life that I chose, I was not a leader or a follower because I took my own path, that kind of stuff.....

Good fucking riddenance. And my beneficiary would be one rich, happy person with $500K as a good bye present.
 
at his request he is buired face down so the whole world can kiss his ass. i thought he was just talking.
 
I have no idea what my family would say about me, probably some sappy stuff.

What's really cool (I guess!) is if you actually went to the church your funeral is held at. Priests usually say all kinds of stuff like, she led a long and happy life....Blah blah blah. But if they actually know you it's a lot more emotional for them, and they put their hearts into it. I guess it just gives it a more personal note.

But, I see that's off topic here.... :eek:

They would say, about me, She was a true procrastinator! She always half-assed everything. Totally horrible at correspondance, but she would clean your fridge/house/lawn to make up for these horrible qualities.

Or something along those lines.
 
My kids would be heartbroken, my ex would be pissed cos I changed my will, my tattoist would want the body to finish my work before I was cremated and my buddies would hold the biggest piss up this towns ever seen.:cool:
 
What would they say if I died today...

..."Well, leave it to SempreAngela, she will do anything to get out of giving someone something for Valentine's Day. Does she have insurance? NO? Well shit. Just prop her up at the jukebox, put a quarter in her hand. Maybe someone will think she is offering money for sex and will take her home." :devil:

They'd say, "He's dead, Jim"

Jim would say, "Do something Bones!!!"

"Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a catholic priest"
