Awesome funerals?

[Panzer_God]

When you die, what do you want people to do with your body?

Personally, I want to be put in a Viking longboat, set on fire and pushed over Niagara Falls. That's probably illegal, but tell me it wouldn't be awesome.

I remember a neighbour who sadly passed on many years ago. According to my Mum who went to the funeral, the old lady had requested that a lousiana-style jazz band play at the funeral. According to Mum it's the first time she ever saw people dancing in the aisles at a funeral!

Assuming I have amassed a large fortune by the time I kick the bucket, I'm gonna build a maze-like catacomb filled with death traps and animated corpses (or robots, if the technology to animate corpses haven't been invented yet). Somewhere deep inside the maze will be my remains and, of course, my treasures, up for the taking by any brave soul who makes it that far.

For me, a funeral where everyone is cheerful and happy that I had a good and full life rather than crying over the fact that I'm gone will be an awesome funeral.

Well, they'll never find my body after the mafia catches up with me... That might pose a problem for my funeral.

But yeah, awesome idea dude, go for it! I bet you can't wait to see the look on everyone's faces...

That's pretty good. Me, I would prefer to be shot out into space and just hope some advanced friendly(ish) race finds me and using their awesome technology, revives me, puts my conscious into a machine or robot or something, where I can then work on the Stargate technology as well as long ass range communication, so I can call Earth, tell them of my journey, in which they would then send a probe that has coordinates of Earth, where the Alien race could fly to there, and blow the shit out of them... or maybe upgrade the technology

I have 2 similar to ethaninja's.

I'd either want to be cremated by being put into the engine of a space ship or I'd like to be shot into space in an escape pod, hopefully land on a planet eventually, and as soon as that happens (or when something opens my pod) Amazing Grace starts to play.

 

[lolmynamewastaken]

i want to be mounted and placed in the corners of a creepy looking pubs/other public buildings to scare children...
not a funeral as such, but still...

 

[Nostalgia Ripoff]

Simple: I want my body to be put into a car (assuming I still have one), put plastic explosives in the trunk, a brick on the wheel, and drive off a cliff, exploding in mid-air.

 

[Timewave Zero]

I'd get as many last rites and funerary ceremonies done as possible - just in case. It'd take two or so weeks to complete, but you never know...
I don't relish the idea of a nasty afterlife awaiting me...only if I can take it over, rule it and then invade our world using my legions of otherworldly horrors!

What are they gonna do? Throw you in jail?

 

[The Wykydtron]

I want my coffin to be set on fire... purple fire in the middle of an open courtyard while this song plays

Manly Tears at the ready...

 

[tehfeen83]

I'd like to be made into Soylent Green.

 

[pyrosaw]

Funeral? They should just throw a Saints Row 2 party in my celebration, and spray the city in a fine brown....or they could do that in real life.

Then you should start being a bigger asshole. You'll feel better once you get the hang of it, and everyone else will feel better once you're dead. Win freaking win!

 

[Quiet Stranger]

i just want them to play Pet Semetary by The Ramones for my funeral

 

[ultrachicken]

I want there to be, in the invitation, a request that instead of flowers, the funeral-goers would bring fish. After my coffin is filled to the brim with disgusting meat, and the attendees are either crying because they liked me for some reason or because of the fumes, the below song begins to play. Preferably without the intro.

Spoiler

 

[Naheal]

I don't want a funeral. If the people have a funeral for me and I know about it, I'll be pissed.

Throw a party, inviting people that knew me in life.

 

[emeraldrafael]

I'd like a traditional Cherokee burial, but I somehow dont see that happening.

So instead I'd just like to be buried in a dress pants/shirt combo (no tie or bow tie), and a rosary in one hand and forefather's necklace of leather strap with a hand carved wooden wolf. And make it known that I dont care how people show up, so tehy dont have to worry about getting all dressed up. And have my friends and family around me.

That sounds like a great idea for a funer-...!

If I tried that with my luck, the aliens would just anally probe my body and be done with it.
