If others are paying for my funeral.. then why would I want it all my way?



If I did, the doctors would have made a wrong call................  RIP-And quiet   lol

Aren't I supossed to be the skeptic and you the beleiver???

On a more serious note....I was working on a song when my grandfather passed away, I wrote the lyrics the night I heard he died, and we recorded the vocals right after his funeral, without even changing clothes. I guess it too should play at my funeral

Believing is one thing... knowing is another.. Truth is we do not know for sure..  

I want my funeral to be quick and not long winded    I see no point in showering nothing but soppy long boring songs  that may wind up depressing people more than they ever were... I want to be remembered as cheerful and funny.. .A quick song..have a few laughs about the funny things we all did...bury me fast, and go off and have a drink...  No sitting listening to long boring songs ..crying and moping about.. it wont bring me back...   I also want something funny and cheerful  written on my head stone... that will make my kids / loved ones smile each time they visit my grave... if they can be bothered to visit   lol

Well.. The majority of people that would show up at mine would be people just making sure I really am gone...  So I want a Loooooong drawn out funeral, the more boring the better, and I hope it's raining - a lot....   :D


But a buffet would be nice...

People can play whatever they want at my funeral... frankly, I won't be there to enjoy it. And if they play something I don't like, there's very little chance I'll be upset about it. LOL.

I want my funeral to be FUN. Everyone will be issued with glow sticks and dance to 70's disco music....and if they don't I'll haunt them forever!

If i had to choose, i'd say the Matrix theme song. Rob Dugan is a genius :whistle:
Αν ανάμεσα σ’ όλον τον κόσμο,
νιώθεις πως δεν υπάρχουνε λύσεις,
τότε μόνο δυο μάτια μπορούνε,
να σε κάνουν να θέλεις να ζήσεις.

I don't think I'll have anything played. I don't think anyone will come to my funeral anyway.

If possible, I'd just let my actions in life speak for me at my funeral instead of a song.



I haven't heard those songs, maybe I'll give them a listen.
They are old songs but good.

They are going to have to listen to my sad modern songs at my funeral.  I wanted to be cremated but they insist on a funeral and planting me on boot hill.  Afterwards everyone can go get drunk.

Would you believe I had a brain fart and forgot I started this topic.  Please forgive me.
