I'll save money for it, but i wont 'plan' it.

They know the songs I want. "Most People I know Think that I'm Crazy" by Billy Thorpe on the way in, and "Respect" on the way out. LOL They also know I want no flowers, but money to be donated to the Bali Christian Church Orphanages. And they know I want it to be cheap...and be a cremation.

I got money stashed For when my time comes to get ashed So my peeps don't have to use their own cash Here's a picture of Slash

I left instructions with my son not to have a funeral. They are to have a party or BBQ instead.

I would love to plan my own funeral but only if I can attend:)
-
I plan on living forever so hopefully this won't be necessary.

My wishes are to be buried without fanfare, unenbalmed in a cardboard coffin in a green cemetary-with arrangements and provision for payment made. If I predecease my mother, and possibly sister, I doubt if she will honor my wishes and will have me buried in the family plot. That will involve interstate transportation of my carcass and and by law require either cremation or enbalming. Being back "home" will trigger a traditional, formal service.

I would like to plan my own funeral. At a time like this, it would take a lot for my loved ones to cope with my home-going. I have done once before at a seminar and I would like to do it again, giving details of the speakers to be invited, the hymns to sing at the memorial service as well as at the cemetery, the friends to inform and so. Just in case I may depart without the final words to my loved one, I would leave behind prior advice to look up my personal blog for my thoughts and final words.

well if i leave it up to my mom i would have some sad catholic one. if my dad would plan it would be some ho down in west virginia with alot of drinking. if my daughter would plan it..well that would be bad cuz shes not really liking me right now. if my sis planned it i know one thing for sure she would scrapbook my whole life. my two youngest sons would be my best bet they are carefree and worship the ground i walk on. but i think my best bet would be to plan it myself! othrewise ill end up with some catholic ho down with a bunch of scrapbooks!

I'd like to plan it. I already partially have. I want an mdf coffin covered in a drab green cloth... thing. I want white roses, with a single purple tulip in each bunch. Songs played include 'Requiem for a Dream', 'O Fortuna', Enter Shikari, And I'd like the bagpipes as I'm being lowered or cremated. (I leave that choice to my family) I'd cover the costs in my will, and I would also say that anyone who doesn't bring a platter of food to my post-life barbeque will be struck off my will. Oh, and 'Relax' by Mika should be played at some point.

I think it is inconsiderate not to plan it therefore leaving it up to your grieving family.
-
yea,i probably will.
-
I plan to plan my funeral, but, seeing that I haven't planned it yet, I hope I do get the chace to plan it before my unplanned demise.

Since I will be donating my body to a medical school (I know, lucky them!) my family will have little or no expense with respect to my death. What they may do ceremonially is their decision; I'll be dead so I can't see it would matter to me at all.
-
I will have no funeral. No visiting hours. No prayers. No graveside service. Just plant me and get on with life.
-
What funeral I plan to live forever. But just incase I do pass away my family can pay for my funeral. I mean how much does it cost to dump a body in the ocean.
