Is it morbid to think about your own funeral? |
|
Lately I've been thinking of mine. What music I'd like played, that I want cremated and ashes scattered in a certain spot, stuff like that. Does anyone else do this, even occasionally? Am I the only one?

I did lose a friend this week, and maybe that's what started all this. I can't think of any other reason. I've wanted to be cremated for some time though.

Tough why to go, Donny died in an ATV accident the summer we were going in to Sophomore year, we weren't close but we knew and were friendly. I had a good friend of his in a class last year and his ex girlfriend lives in my neighborhood. It was so sad, and I think of him always because he's buried across the school and the neighborhood he lived in, I walk through daily and his closest friends and family spraypainted DS in his memory, its been nearly 3 years and I often think of it, poor guy, I wish he could be graduating with us in the spring.

2. I want my funeral to be before I die, so I can sit there and listen to |
|
what everyone has to say about me. Seriously. I want to sit up in the coffin and listen to the eulogies - if there's going to be any!

4. All the time - I wanna have a big middle finger |
|
Facing a section of people pre-selected to sit there. Then they'll get a little envelope with a note saying "Jeremy never really liked you."

I don't know if I'd care to even have a funeral. If someone can't see me till I'm laying in a box somewhere they can stay home.

11. I've been doing it more recently. It is not freaky. It is inevitable. |
|
I'm already planning the music I want played, though I'm not sure how the attendees (all 3 of them) would respond.

Why waste your time thinking about crap like that? Even though I do, often.

27. I'm taking the Zen route... |
|
I told my wife that when I die I want to be cremated and have the ashes flushed down the toilet.
And yes, I'm completely serious.

31. I occasionally do, but not much. |
|
Not like I'm going to get to enjoy it.
I would like everybody to have a good time, drink, do karaoke whatever. I don't want to be remembered with a grim procession.
