lol Well there's a topic for a song you want played at your funeral, but I want to see how everyone wants to have their whole funeral take place.

It's only a depressing subject if you see it that way.

I want one like the one in Eulogy...where they have the dead guy in this boat and they dump a couple gallons of gasoline in it, push the boat out into the middle of the lake, then shoot flaming arrows at it...then it goes KABLOOM! and burns for forever...

Hehe. To quote the movie, 'I don't even think this is legal!' but I would go out with a bang. Literally. :wink:

EDIT: and speaking of bangs, Nai boomed a skunk! SKUNK GO BOOM!

My rotting carcas is lowered into the cascate from wires from the cieling in front of the entire funeral party, while puppeteers move my body as though i were dancing to the techno music playing, and the laser light show would sync with all the words from stephen lynch's album. And then, a funeral proscession of bikini clad Hooters girls would carry the lidless cascate to the back of a Chevy Silverado, and i would be strutted around town for 3 hours, before taken to my final resting place, burried in the floor of the Jefferson Memorial. Then, there would be mud wrestling and wet t shirt contests, as well as designer show hosts giving presentations all day long. There would also be a scavenger hunt of some kind, held within a cemetary, that would involve digging up random pieces of random people's bodies. A bag of gold would be hidden in a random cascate burried beneith the ground, and whoever finds it, gets to keep the gold. Then, after a party lasting no less than 3 days, wherein celebrities would come and make an appearance, supposedly paying their respects, but really they would have been payed to do it, so everyone would think i was in with the hollywood crowd. Uma Thermond would be payed to say i was great in bed at a speach she gave during the party, among other things. Jackie Chan, Quinten Tarrantino, Frank Oz, and Samuel L Jackson would all be among the attending celebrities, among others; after the party the federal government would name a holilday after me, for some obscure random event (like taking out the trash on wednesday that one time) and school would always be out that day, and mail wouldn't come, and there would be huge sales at all of the stores. At my perfect funeral, Wal Mart would finally give up, and say they were closing their doors forever, in recognition of my efforts to destroy them. I would also be named emperor of the entire western hemisphere, and my image would recieve a solute all over the globe, but no more, as not to tred on the grounds of worship. There would be a federal scholorship available to anyone who applied for it, in the sum of 13 million dollars. But, it would only be worth 14.50 our time, because this would be 4000 years from now.

I want everything to be sad, with very sad music and I want it to be in a church while I be cremated or what ever. While that is happening I want a video of my best moments to be on a screen, so they're even more sad because they'd never me again.

At the end I want to them to have a buffet, with lots of free food, so they can eat their sorrows and become fat.

I don't want to die.
It's inevitable. So is the choice to live...

Well, I don't really want to think of planning a funearl, considering I'm 13 years old, but for the hell of it...

I want a black coffin, with golden lining and a white inside full of lovely velvet softness and silk.
I want it to be at a church, the one where I got married, wherever that will be *coughScotlandcoughs*
I want all my friends and family crying over me. Telling me what they didn't when I was alive.
And I want to go to heaven...
And I want to be happy...

But there'll be no buffet! *Gasps*

Oooh morbidity! I'm so there!...Ahem. Yes. Well. Anyways...for my fantasy funeral I want there to be a great big party. Good food (my favourites), fun music, lots of people saying how great I was and laughing at good memories. No sad people!! They can mourn the passing of my genius (hehehe hey, you said it was a fantasy!) and they can miss me like crazy but I want them smiling for my funeral thanks. They can wear bright colours or black, whatever they choose. And I want people dancing the conga. And at the end I want them to commend my spirit to the light and burn me in a great big bonfire, then take my ashes in an urn and scatter them over NZ from a plane. Then they can erect a lovely little statue for me of a running horse and put as my epitaph:

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not here, I do not sleep.

And the greatest thing people could say about me would be that I made them laugh and cry with my work, and that they're sorry I'm gone but they know I'll know everything now, so I'll be happy, so they dont mind too much. :D
Got a poem or short story you want me to critique?

Oh how I love YWS!

I want everyone to where black. Whoever does not where black I will ask the big Guy if he will smite them. And I want it to rain at the graveyard so it looks like it does in the movies. And I want my epitaph to be something really poetic and full of images about angels and dreams.

There isn't a target in Carbondale. :cry:

As for my "fantasy funeral" I know this:

I want everyone to wear a lot of bright colors: Hawaiian shirts, etc. And lots of cool/funny party hats. And have maraccas and things like that. I want 8 pallbearers: 4 to carry my casket, 4 to play a happy joyus marching/jazz kinda song (see:jazz funeral) as they bring my coffin to its final resting place. :lol:

As for Eulogies go: Other than the standard stuff, I want three Eulogies: the first is the same one as bubblewrapped's Eulogy. The second is: Upon my death I bequeath to you this knowledge: the fact that life is hard, yet too soon passed. and the third: "I believe in full faith in the coming of the Mashiach (messiah) and though he may tarry, I will wait for him nevertheless"
