i have threaten everyone in my family and friends that if they attempt doing a funeral for me i will haunt them till they join me in hell... No funeral no expensive cremation... feed me to the pig for all i care... Throw a BBQ or something... a celebration i guess....
what do you want for your vessel when you are done with it?

"Wish you were here" on my gravestone.

Hmm, I was thinking about this the other day, and I am not sure.
Yeah cremation is cool cause you get dumped in the ocean but I like the idea of getting buried with some seeds stuck in my ass so a tree can grow from my ass.

i was gonna be embalmed and propped up in the corner of my house, but then that other guy did that, and i don't wanna be a poser. So i guess i'll burn.
Incidentally, i was wondering, if one of us here on QBN dies, how would everyone else know? Who'll bring the laptop with webcam to the funeral so everyone can be present?

I'd like a state burial, ideally with 3 days of national mourning. (or I'll haunt everyone)

I want a no nonsense 'natural' woodland burial, of the type that's quite popular over here in Blighty - no headstone, no cremation.
If I ever get around to making one up, I wanto be buried with a piece of mathematically-shaped metal engraved with lots of random symbols that look like they might mean something, but don't.
Though, if civilisation doesn't go through some calamitous stage which deletes the internet, my attempt at befuddling a future archaeologist has just been undermined by this post.

a) The funeral is not for you
2) Rules and regs. dictate that you need to choose a hole or urn. Pigs are out unless you are starring in a Thomas Harris film.
•) I think it's important to move away from dreary church music during memorial services and play a pre-selected mix, as chosen by the deceased.

Yeah DJing your own funeral is a good idea. I will have a playlist created at the same time as my will.

what would be in your playlist blaw?

i don't care what they do.
they can make me a puppet for all i care.
though, i'd feel sorry for whoever draws straws and ends up having to insert his hand up my ass to make me talk.

A huge monument will do.
It will large enought to contain some thousands people and will feature a big stage and will have perfect acustic.
Better if it's shaped as a pyramid

A few years back my wife and I purchased space in a mausoleum. Just another "check" next to an item on the "My Life: To-Do" list.
Last year a relative told me they were in the cemetery and happened upon our resting-place-to-come. I though we were simply on a reservation list, marked "Paid in full" (or "deposite needed" - ha!), not that they would actually put up the plaque. How weird is that?
Anyway, I keep meaning to drop by and take a pick, but life keeps getting in the way.

I want various of the different bits of me sent to significant people from my past as souvenirs appropriate to the role they played in my life.
