 |
|
| 7/18/2008 9:24:22 AM From: Rani Otherwise, how luxurious or not luxurious memorial service they want to have, I am okay with that because the service is really for them. I also plan to make them really cry buckets of tears by making a goodbye video while I still can. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:31:13 AM From: Rani and oooh have you guys heard about findagrave.com? You should check it out. | |

| 7/18/2008 9:36:17 AM From: mercury take what ever organs can be used, then torch me. I love cut flowers and wouldn't mind a few, but I'd rather you take a packet of seeds and scatter them in a field somewhere. I don't want anyone mourning my death... a party would be better. no black allowed! and if you just HAVE to wear black, you better pair it with some outrageous red and turquoise. Seriously, though... when I'm dead I won't give a rip. Donate my organs, then torch me... those are my only 2 requests.... I'm okay with whatever ritual my loved ones need to help them through it. |  |

| 7/18/2008 9:38:13 AM From: emkay64 Good Christ no traditional funeral for me. Cremation please. Merc can make me a paper mache pinata to put them in. Have a BBQ and slaughter my pinata ;)Actually I want to be cremated, dump the remains wherever. I believe I'll be long gone by then. |  |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:39:50 AM From: emkay64 Oh yeah....I'm an organ donor, so harvest away. Let me keep my eyes though....I want to see where I'm going. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:41:48 AM From: Rani Thing is Merc, they are going to mourn your death, that is just gonna naturally happen, so at the service, that is the best place to get the mourning out. Without the closing drama, you just seem to be stuck, with something missing. Know what I mean. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:42:45 AM From: Rani I promise, I will plant wildflowers for you Merc. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:44:35 AM From: Rani but I agree, no black! | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:46:30 AM From: mercury thanks, rani ;o) | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:49:44 AM From: Rani slaugher your pinata? there is a concept I never considered. Be a sure fire way of getting past the anger stage. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 9:50:34 AM From: Rani actually Merc, I am not gonna wait until you kill over to plant them, I will do it this weekend..so forever more you know you have flowers in VA. | |

| 7/18/2008 10:09:11 AM From: wildbob I find funerals depressing. When I die, I'd like for my family and friends to get together have some drinks and have some laughs. I'd perfer it if everyone wore Hawaiian shirts in celebration of my unique sense of fashion. I'm an organ donor and don't feel stongly about being buried. I'd rather have my remains cremated and spread in some area's that I enjoyed during my time here. Save the flowers. I'd rather have people plant some tress to remember me. I wouldn't want the typical funeral where everyone is dressed in dark colors and spends so much time being sad. I wouldn't mind it if they set off some fireworks with my ashes mixed in so I'd have a blast in the next life. | |

|
| 7/18/2008 10:41:08 AM From: emkay64 We went to the funeral of a family friend and the pastor had a lisp. It was awful. My brother and I kept laughing. I'd like him to deliver my eulogy. | |

|
| 7/18/2008 10:42:47 AM From: eddo wow, never expected Merc and Rani to not allows blacks at their funerals... |  |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 11:21:33 AM From: Rani Clothing Eddo...Clothing! Not even black underwear! Not even a matching set! Ya poop. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 11:23:02 AM From: Rani pinches Eddo really hard! lol | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 11:24:52 AM From: Feckless Wench Who cares, it's only the equivalent of throwing out old clothes that are no longer wearable. |  |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 11:31:34 AM From: Rani sometimes throwing out old clothes can be a terrible experience. | |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 12:56:36 PM From: Ali I'm an organ donor, too. When I die, I want emkay to have one of my eyes...lol. |  |
|
|
| 7/18/2008 6:02:46 PM From: beags I'm the great granddaughter of Irish-Catholic immigrants. We party harder at funerals than any other occasion- I should hope that the family tradition will continue in my honor when I pass.. | |
|
|
| 7/19/2008 4:48:11 AM From: Chi I wanted to just be cremated, but my daughter says she wants to go somewhere to visit me, talk to me and bring me flowers. So buried, I guess it'll be. I don't want to further pollute the soil, so I want a biodegradable, fancy cardboard box to be buried in:D As far as my funeral, whatever is easier and less painful for the loved ones I leave behind. |  |
|
|
| 7/19/2008 6:00:27 AM From: mercury you can bury cremains, or she can keep you in a jar on the mantle and won't even have to "go" anywhere. you can still have what you want ;o) | |
|
|
| 7/19/2008 7:40:11 AM From: PapaBryant All I know is there are three songs I want sung at my funeral: Elijah, by Rich Mullins; Heaven, by Nanci Griffith; and When I Get Where I'm Goin', by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton. | |

| 7/19/2008 10:58:48 AM From: mercury did you get the memo that you're too mean for it? ;P | |
|
|
| 7/19/2008 3:54:03 PM From: hugo I figure if only the good die young total assholes should live forever. | |
|
|
| 7/19/2008 7:16:48 PM From: Ali Then you should have plenty of company, hugo. | |
|
|
| 7/20/2008 4:37:31 AM From: mercury If that's true, how the hell did my dad croaked at 56? | |
|
|
| 7/20/2008 4:38:26 AM From: mercury ^^ he was a certified asshole... and a card carrying member. with a plaque. and a t-shirt. | |
|
|
| 7/20/2008 1:54:06 PM From: hugo Damn. thought I could rely on being a total asshole. Guess I better start eating healthier. Maybe after the Columbian festival tonight. | |
|
|
| 7/20/2008 5:41:50 PM From: mercury yeah... don't know that putting all your eggs in the asshole basket is a safe bet. plan b might work out better. | |
