How do you imagine your own funeral will be?

[Jared Lash]

I think mine will be small with only candlelight and with Black Sabbath being played on a harp.

[MatticusMania]

My will be dimly lit, most likely with candlelight, lots of black lillies, a sing a long video a la Andy Kaufman, and a big explosion at the end

[D.Don]

I want a symphony orchestra, full set, playing a cpl of well chosen suiting pieces. At least one opera singer, and a cpl of other solists and of course, a choir.

If I ever decide to write a will and a instruction for the funeral, someone will have a busy week getting that stuff together...

hehe

Theres gonna be like ten pandas, and after everybodys really drunk. The pandas will eat my body.

It will be a closed casket, little to the average patron's knowledge the lights will go out in the middle of the service. A spotlight will then light on my dead body dancing through the art of puppetry to fast European techno while strobe lights and smoke machines around the room activate. Everyone will get glow sticks.

I like events where you have something to take home. Can I go to your funeral? I'll distribute ecstacy and take all the unwanted glow sticks.

I plan on being killed in a foreign country and thrown into a hastily dug pit. That will be the extent of my funeral.

I will be cold, wet and tied to cement.

Tied? Pffft, everyone knows the mafia uses zip ties these days, theyre so much more effective.

There will be one area for the family. One area for the friends. Then there will be an area for the sexy asian chicks. Hopefully somebody brings the inflatable kiddy pools and fills them with pork and beans. There will be a lot of funk, reggae, and debauchery. It would be my kind of party, except I wouldn't be there.

I wanted to be shot out of a cannon, but Hunter Thompson stole my idea.

Maybe launched from a trebuchet. That would be kind of cool.

Zip ties, by definition, still tie stuff, so he'd still be tied.

Not sure yet, but it will be planned before I die. Though my body will probably not be in the room, I hope to get a Tibetan Sky Burial by some of my close friends (if they feel up to it).

[stratovani]

I want Rush to play at my funeral. Of course, they'll be over 100 by then, so it'll be a real short concert!

[hbarcat]

There will be no funeral for me. Funerals are for mortals.

[Croox]

I donated my body to science so there will be no funeral, but somewhere some premed student will be laughing at my white naked ass layin on a table ready to be open and prodded

[JimB52]

Sparsely attended, as I intend to outlive everyone I know. Just a few dozen children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and my grieving mistresses.

It would be something like this...

Now because King Svein was going to take his succession after his father Harald, made he a great funeral feast, to which were bidden all the chiefs of his kingdom. ¤ Not long before this Strut-Harald of Skani had died, and also Veseti of Borgundarholm, who was the father of Bui & Sigurd. The King therefore sent word to the Jomsborg vikings bidding Earl Sigvaldi and Bui, and their brothers, to come thither and seal their inheritance by drinking grave-ale in memory of their fathers at the feast which the King himself was about to give. And to this feast accordingly went the Jomsborg vikings with all the stoutest of their folk; forty ships had they from Wendland & twenty from Skani, & a great number of people were assembled together. On the first day of the feast, before King Svein stepped into his father’s high seat, he drank the cup of memory to him, vowing therewith that before three months were over he would go to England with his hosts & slay King Ethelred, or drive him from the country. Now all those who were at the feast were obliged to drink that cup of memory, and for the chiefs of the Jomsborg vikings the largest horns were filled, and withal with the strongest ale. When this cup of memory had been drunk to the dregs then were all men to drink to the memory of Christ; and ever to the Jomsborg vikings were brought the fullest horns & the strongest drink. The third cup was to St. Michael, and this was drunk by all; and thereafter Sigvaldi drank to his father’s memory, & made a vow that before three winters were passed he would go to Norway and slay Eirik, or drive him from the land. Then did his brother Thorkel the Tall swear that he would fare with Sigvaldi, and never shun battle as long as Sigvaldi was fighting there; and Bui the Burly said that he too would go with them to Norway, and not flee before Earl Hakon in battle. Then did Vagn Eirikson swear that he also would accompany him, & not return before he had slain Thorkel Leira and lain abed with his daughter Ingibiorg. ¤ Many other lords made vows anent sundry matters, & all men drank the heirship ale. When the morrow was come and the Jomsborg vikings had slept as long as they were minded, they deemed that they had spoken big words enough & met together to take counsel as to how and when they should proceed with their cruise, and then they covenanted to array their ships and men as speedily as might be. Now this matter was rumoured of far and wide in the lands.
