Your funeral - How do you want it?

[Iris Melody 90]

Oh morbid stuff

 

When I was a kid, I used to draw my own grave. I had told my grandmother that I wanted everyone to wear pretty colors - a rainbow of colors. Not that I specifically wanted someone to dress in a rainbow, but for everyone to be a different color, their favorite color, any color of their choosing - except black. No black. I also wanted to be buried with my teddy bear.

 

Nowadays, assuming I die before my husband, I would like my body preserved somehow so that whenever he died, we could be buried together. I'd expect my own funeral/viewing, but I don't want to be buried alone. I hope it wouldn't be too much to ask to preserve me (I wouldn't mind if I were hidden or covered during his funeral depending on how effectively I was preserved, or just myself covered during his so that his funeral is focused on him) but I at the very least want to be buried in the same casket as my Love, holding hands if possible. At least side by side close enough to where we were touching. Asking them to pose us in a cuddle might be a bit much, but if they could, that'd be awesome

 

At my visitation, I would still like for everyone to wear pretty colors - that bit hasn't changed from my childhood opinion. I used to have specific songs picked out - I should probably do that again and update it regularly, like once a year. The main theme I want with my songs are 1)Love that lasts forever / a true love story never ends 2) I'll fly away (whether the specific song by that name or other things similar in theme, fly away to another place, happy where I'm going / am) 3) Any relevant songs as sung by Celtic Woman. They are my super number one favorite music group. I love their version of Beyond The Sea. 4) songs from our wedding and reception! Especially the one that was our first dance - At the Beginning. Definitely that one! 5) probably relevant hymns about death being a good thing, or at least not a bad thing.

 

I would like my funeral to be at the church where we had our wedding. It is also where we first met (hence why I wanted to get married there). Bit of a creepy thing, it was where my brother's funeral was. Where his casket was is nearly/practically where we were wed. I'd like us to both be in that spot - our funeral were our wedding happened, our bodies nearly/practically in the same place from one event to the next

I also have a playlist of music already on my YouTube account to play at the funeral. Here it is!

[Croaks 251]

I'd like to be thrown into an active volcano by a trebuchet as the people there enjoy refreshments and dance to old music. I demand that we hire Mickey Mouse and Chuck Norris to be there. The trebuchet must have the words, " Hell yeah, bitches, go out with a bang!" painted on it.

I want to be dressed in a pedobear costume while the fellow bronies at my funeral can enjoy a nice episode of My LIttle Pony. I would like to have two rainbow torches in my hands as I fly into the volcano. Now finally, I want a smiley face to be painted on the volcano.

[be my waifu 2,842]

I want them to play "Another one bites the dust" at my funeral

 

Come on, someone had to say it

 

 

>MoH Frontline soundtrack

 

I nostalgia'd all over my keyboard... Quite possibly the most beautiful OST in a videogame

Haha, what?

I want a simple funeral, playing songs from MLP and sigur ros. I want my close friends and family to come, and each of them tell a story of their favorite memory of me. I want them to be wearing pretty colors, and burry me in our family plot near anthony lake in Agusta Kansas. Then, after my funeral, I want a huge pinkie pie-esque party at somebodies house, and I want them to celebrate my life at this party, telling more stories and trying to spend more time with each other. That would be great.

[GrooveBroove 680]

I do want to be cremated with my ashes just thrown into the wind. With a little ceremony before it.

Where however i havent decided yet.

[Muffin 19]

I want my ashes spread across the top of a mountain with a beautiful view

[Dragonshy 2,305]

I want to be put on a ship, sent out to sea and then have it either on fire or explode. Whilst Dani California plays in the background. I don't want people to be sad at my funeral, just to remember the good times. Oh yeah and then everyone lights a firework in the air resembling release or some sentimental crap.

[PinkSlippers 14]

I want my funeral to be a huge party! With lots of balloons and pasta and a petting zoo. I want people to celebrate me, not mourn me. So I asked my friend to, when I die, take the liberty of spiking the punch.

[Star Valor 2]

Honestly, I couldn't think of more dreadful a topic to think about. xD

[Mr. Wobbels 664]

I should have my ashes launched into space on an amateur rocket. That'd be sick.

[Phoenix Wright 55]

I want this to be playing:

[The Milkman 186]

When i die, i want this music to play

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIz1erKdcUg

A game that i will not forget even if i die, one of the best songs i have ever heard and it punched my heart so bad i started to cry when i listened to it.

[Cosmic Charlie 129]

My number one way to die is to be an old, old, old man who's just about to go. I will be loaded into the most badass jet available, and I will fly it straight down into a tanker full of nitrogen, all of which will occur on a secure and large location which I have expressly purchased for the occasion. The crater left there shall be named in my honor, and a gift shop shall be built years later to commemorate the place and my rich, storied life.

 

My second choice is to just go naturally, but I don't want a headstone or to be a graveyard. I want to be buried beneath a tree by a cliffside, and become nutrients for that tree. With any luck my bones will breach the eroded cliff on some distant day and freak someone out, but otherwise it'll just be nice to be useful. I would, however, appreciate a marble statue constructed in my likeness, complete with a plaque honoring my grand achievements - perhaps featuring a resonant quote of mine.

 

Choice three is strapping me into a small rocket and launching me in a random direction in space, preferably one where my predictable trajectory doesn't trap me in any orbits. That way I can technically spread mankind further in one direction than he has ever been.

 

Edit: I nearly forgot to include the music that would be played at my service. Presenting one of mankind's greatest achievements: Pink Floyd's Echoes, in its entirety as found as their album Meddle. It is, in a word, transcendent. It reminds me of the feeling one gets when slowly and unwillingly waking from the most wonderful dream. The bittersweet rush of your utopia coming to an end, but understanding it was never really there at all. Stunning.

 

Please, for me... press play, close your eyes, and refuse to open them until the song is over. What you see in your mind's eye will move you.

[Jokuc 8,172]

I don't care actually. When I'm dead, I'm dead. But if I had to choose one I want this one:

It makes my cry every time I hear it, idk why but it does.

Also you guys should check out the series.

[roomforapony 285]

I don't want one. If any of my friends or family would want to do something they can have a house party and celebrate how awesome I was. And all of the pictures they hang up have to be of me doing this:

[Cloud-Kicker 103]

I will have the MLP Theme song playing at a reasonable volume and right after the buildup, my coffin will slowly open and...

BAM!!!

Awesome Pony Rave Party!!

Everybody will dance and eat delicious cake and muffins. It will be glorious. Too bad I'll have to miss out on it.

[w1kk3d 56]

I totally want to just float off into space it may sound cheesy or something but space is very "magical" to me! I love it more than anything <3

[Moosefullaeggs 543]

I'm not too worried about what happens at my funeral, and until then, I'll plant a tree and pay my taxes.

[Mephala 2,633]

I just want a party XD

Everyone can listen to awesome pony dance music and celebrate my pure win.

No, I'm kidding. But I'd want it to be a party for sure.

[SPLinux 374]

well, id like a nice funeral that's nothing fancy...

 

but i wont know anyway, i don't care if i am cremated or not.

[Goodra 530]

I want my organs donated I guess.

 

As for the funeral, I want to be buried in a sarcophagus with my bass guitar in my cold hands.

[DiZzYLiF3 15]

a fast andeasy one and after the other people go and eat toghter and have a fun time

[PinkieFry 91]

I would definitely want everyone to wear colorful clothes. I'd want them to celebrate my life, and not my death... Lol. I've made jokes about having techno music playing and fun stuff goin' on like pinatas, but I really do want it to be memorable and fun. Not depressing and sad...

[pondus30 152]

I want a pretty much standard one, with some awesome music to it, maybe "Arrival to earth"
