Your dream funeral

[BIGpanda]

I want to be buried near an old Indian burial on a stormy night...NIGHT OF THE LIVING PANDA!

1. Cremation.
2. Ashes put in a crate.
3. Crate put in a B-17.
4. B-17 flies over Disneyland.
5. Drop contents of crate.

Churro is PEOPLE!

let me answer your question with a question of my own, why would you care? whether your brain shuts down, or your whisked away to your mythical fantasy-land of choice, what does it matter what happens after your gone/in a better place? your connection with this world has been severed, your either unable to care, or if the rumors of eternal bliss are true, you shouldnt care. if i'm not conscious or aware within it, i couldnt give a flying fritter how my body is dealt with. knowwuimsayin?

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and Despair!

Why else? So you can die knowing that other people will envy you, even if it is after you bought it.

I want it to be the most boring and drawn out thing ever. Hopefully lasting a couple of days. Then at the end there has to be a video of me saying "And that's what my life was like".

My dream funeral would be by myself, in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by beauty, and completely unknown.

but thats what im sayin. those feelings of elevation, and superiority over your fellow humans aren't going to do you any good when your dead. for me the notions of a grandiose future funeral and the satisfaction of being envied by others that it will afford, is undermined by the realization that i wont be there to enjoy it.

by the way great quote, that poem is epic.

I'm going into space, and pushed out the shuttle once i get there

that will freak them aliens out

 

[Twilight_guy]

Norse funeral with pyre. Better yet, give me a Frankenstein's monster funeral with a burning at the north pole(I'm sure that will be real well attended, though).

I saw a comedian once who said he'd like to be cremated and have someone he loves go around and throw big spoonfuls of his ashes at people that he hates.

That'd be pretty sweet.

The actual ceremony? That's kind of silly i think, why? FUNERALS ARE FOR THE LIVING. They are to help the people who are left behind deal with the loss. Not to make the dead person feel important... you won't be there after all. (me? I'll be playing poker with Winston Churchill, Jimi Hendrix, my grandpa, and Marie Curie.)

I want to be buried under a giant statue that can be seen from space thats just a giant headstone that says "DAN WAS HERE" with an arrow pointing down.
- just to stick with what other people were saying. Wouldn't that freak those aliens out?

Just cremate me and toss the box in the Baltic sea. No need for something fancy. Well, unless you'd want to build me a statue. One that shows a metrocop.

Hitman style, I'm laid out on a bed about to be lowered into a furnace, dual guns sitting on my immaculate white suit, all of my enemies gathered in the cemetery. Then I rise up shooting...

Maybe you wont be there to enjoy it when you are dead, which is why you think about it now and enjoy the feeling, even if it is just imaginations of something you wont actually witness. Thinking it through as much as you are doing now sort of undermines the point of imagining the most grandiose funeral you can. Are you going to keep asking why you would do something or just try it?

Anyway even if you don't believe in some something afterwards that allows you to watch your own funeral, would you really want to be forgotten by everyone? Isn't there some part of you that says "I want to be remembered," even if you think you couldn't enjoy it, wouldn't it be nice to know you affected people's lives even slightly?

Funeral? For me??
Thats just silly...
I cant die!

 

[joystickjunki3]

Mine's simple: I just want people to care.

So this is how I want it to go down....

Everyone assembles into the funeral home all sad and stuff, but then the lights go down and they can hear a faint techno beat in the background. The doors lock and hallucinogenic gas is released into the room. The beat rises in intensity and more instruments are added. At the crescendo a crash cymbal hits and rave style lights begin to shoot and move with the beats. A disco-ball slowly descends from the ceiling. Cue fog machine from the slowly rising casket lid. Cue synchronized back-up dancers dressed as zombies. The casket lid is fully open, revealing my body fully rigged with animatronics. I rise from the coffin and begin to dance like I've never danced in life. Cue pyrotechnics. My eyes slowly open, revealing that they have been replaced with colorful laser beams that shoot with the music. This all continues for several minutes until people dressed as Jedi and Sith begin to light-saber fight to the beat. Things begin to fade out; elements disappear. I climb back into the coffin. The lights go up and it all seems as though none of this has happened. The funeral continues as normal.

Lemme REALLY give the family a reason to hate me. =D
