Weird thread: If you were to die, what type of funeral..

[Dble E]

do you want?

I am 51 so I hope I have 30-35 years left but I have decided when it happens, I want to be cremated and do a celebration of life. When I say a celebration of life, I mean a full out party for my family and friends. Filled with my favorite beverages, loud music and food. Is that weird?

Not today satan

Agreed. Funerals that celebrate a person's life are much better than the sad ones.

 

[Goskers07]

I'm not really sure I'd give a shit at that point.

Viking funeral with a keg on the shore

I've always found traditional funerals and cemeteries to be a poor way to send someone off. I've been to funerals where the person wasn't even remotely religious and it felt like we were just following some stupid script that we're all supposed to follow.

My grandpa was my main influence on this. He hated going to church for funerals where everyone is stoic and sad, bury the dead in some nondescript cemetery in the middle of town, then off to some banquet hall for lunch.

He set aside money for a party when he died so that close family and friends would have a good time and it would be a better celebration of his life. Still sad because he wasn't there but we ate, drank, and had a great time. Much more memorable than a funeral and burial service. He was cremated and half his ashes went to the farm he grew up on in NE and the other half to the place his family came from in Scotland.

I’d say to have a party at my funeral, let every rapper rock it. Let all the hoes that I used to know from way before kiss me from my head to my toe. Give me a paper and pen so I can write about my life of sin, a couple bottles of gin in case I don’t get in.
Tell all my people I'm a rider. Nobody cries when we die, we outlawz, let me ride.


Something like that

I’m much younger so maybe this is my inner young, rage until I die, self speaking but that’s how I envision I want my funeral to be.

But I also think what I’ll want for my funeral may change as I get older

 

[That SOB Van Owen]

I don’t give a shit I’m dead.

 

[Dble E]

I don’t give a shit I’m dead.

No shit. You're missing the point😎.

Throw my ashes off a cliff big Lebowski style

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Buried at sea obv

 

[Cookiemonster]

I think Viking style is the only way honestly.

I’ll never forget when my dad died and my mom and sisters were dead set on burial and traditional service.

My dad wanted cremated as he was scared of tight spaces.

It was a drab service. A couple hundred people came. I just was left feeling my dad would have wanted joking around and having fun which was all he was known for.


So all that to be said, I’m going to plan it and take it out of families hands and ensure people have a memorable send off with a good time.

Find a fire, throw me in it

Find a fire, throw me in it

Geebus. That's dark. Haha

I threw half my moms ashes off the cliff of 17th hole of Emerald Canyon in Parker Arizona. She loved that hole because the women’s tees were a par 3 and men’s tees were a brutal par 5 and she got a kick out of always beating me on that hole.

The other half of her ashes went out the window of a float plane before we landed at the lake we used to spend our summers in Canada.

Thought that was a really cool way to go.

 

[Mavsker]

For me I'd say don't throw me no funeral.

If I die young, write my mother, tell her that I love her but my soul's gone home. Take my vessel to Anderson County, drive real slow and take the long way home. Tell my kin to pick up a shovel, wrestle that sugar sand and bury my bones. Bury my bones beneath some pines, when it comes time for you to bury my bones

I want sad videos playing simultaneously with the service so everyone is as devastated as possible realizing they're going to have to live their life without me. Suicide over/under at 8.5.

100% At my step-grandfather's funeral all it was, was basically a church service. He was a pretty amazing person and did a lot of cool things in his life. They didn't mention anything about his lifestyle or things he did, it was like a "fire and brimstone" type of funeral. I never thought I'd be disappointed in a funeral, but I was that day.
