Apparently, us Brits are uptight about death and don't like discussing it.
I heard a song today that reminded me of my favorite Aunty's funeral, where they played 'Unforgettable' by 'Nat King Cole'. I think that's a great funeral song and I'd quite like to to be played at my funeral. I'd also like to be cremated, so I can sit in on Gav's mantel piece and keep an eye on him forever.
So tell me this...
What song would you choose and how would you like to be buried?
Groovefinder - Aint Got No, I Got Life
To remind my friends that life is for living and not for complaining about anything that appears unsatisfactory to you, to let the authentic/better you shine through.
The method of disposing of my body is irrelevant to me personally, my soul is permanent. The body and all this bull$hit associated with it that we all spend too much time on, come to ziltch at the end.
[People who do not believe in the soul tend to be the ones who are scared of death because all that they can hang on to is life, and that is meaningless unless you live in a selfless way]
I have already chosen mine
Queen - Another One Bites The Dust
I don't wanna be burned! I'd rather be put into the ground whole please.
I want my song to be "Everything" by Michael Buble - Love that song
Cremated to the sounds of
"Always look on the bright side of life" by Monty Python.
Probably with an L plate on the coffin
I don't believe in the soul but not scared of death.. I'd rather everyone had a laugh and celebrated my life and not mourned my passing.
Then have my ashes packed into the nose cone of a firework and launched over an unoccupied area at the fireworks display at the end of my wake party
I always wanted to go out with a bang...
(i'll get my coat!)
"So Big" (Scarlet, 1995)
(Though today I feel more like "Ding dong, the witch is dead")
Well, I wanna be buried with my baby boy, who's in the plot beside my Dad...
I'd like to have "that's life" (not the tv programme!) at the funeral!
Hopefully My loved ones will follow my wishes:
Attire : No dark colours - bright and loud!
Songs: Walk on By - Dionne Warwick (My fav record)
I'm walking backwards for Christmas - The Goons (cos I want it
heard in a church)
Already put monies away im my Will for people to have a drink on me afterwards...
Snap!
I don't want people to wear black. And if you want to give me flowers, give them to me now while I can still appreciate them, when I'm dead it's too late....
I'd like to be cremated, and my ashes to be turned into a glaze to be applied to a pot that I'll make especially for the purpose...
Oh - and no fancy coffin or expensive nonsense!!!!
As the curtain closes on the box...
Great Balls Of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis version
i always liked the New Orleans style jazz funeral.
Although, I like the idea of cremation to the music of "Disco Inferno"
ok i'v made a note
wow its one of mine, but it reduces me to tears, I nagged OXO'S to play it, and when he did, it was all I could do to stop the tears welling up.
No tears for me just laughs please
I would like
little star, as the coffin was coming in the church.
Happy People R Kelly as everyone leaves.
and the first track at the wake ............'The snake'
I'll be around till i'm 96 so I might change my mind by then
I have my 'last will' pinned on my notice board along with polices, etc.,
I have a big issue with my 'will', who would have my children if anything happened to me, my mom is elderly and frail, my ex couldn't take then he has a server personality disorder and is and alcoholic.
I have changed it 3 times in as many years as friends come in and out of my life, anyone agreeing to take them on, would have to think very carefully about the impact on there own family.
One of my ladies lost her daughter 6 weeks ago in a car accident she was 39, leaving two children 14 and 16, the farther is absent and my lady lives in a small cottage with her husband, who has just gone through surgery for cancer and he is finding it hard to come to term's with his illness. She came back to club this week for the first time since it happened, it was very emotional, you get to know people there familles ect, she has been coming to me every week for two years. Apparently the children are going to stop in the house with a neighbour and my lady 'looking in' on them, social services seem ok with this? they are very sensible children, and have been through enough termoil, they just wan't to stop where they know but I would just worry about them been lonely,
It doesn't bare thinking about, but you have to. (mine needs doing again)
Well after the NHS have hooked out anything they think is useful the rest of me can be cremated. Like DS I fancy Burn Baby Burn Disco Inferno (by the Trammps I think) at the crematorium. Or possibly Smoke Gets in your Eyes (by the Platters?).
If Twirlie checks out before me, I'm keeping her with me forever like this.
well i'm only fifteen but whenever i die i want come what may from moulin rouge to be played when the coffin enters, that song is so beautiful and i love the scene in moulin rouge in which it is played and when everyone goes out i want the circle of life to be played. After all death is the circle of life really isnt it?
When i do pass away i want to be made into a precious jewel like a carbonated ring or necklace and i want my most loved one to wear it. I would do the same to my most loved one. I would like to still sparkle forever even when im gone
I went to a friends cremation once and the song she had played was "band of gold" she had such a good sense of humour. felt so sorry for her husband as we all stated to giggle uncontrolably.
I would like to be burnt to the sounds of celebrate by cool n the gang as i dont want my funeral to be miserable and the wake would have to include some mega boppy tracks that people would be forced to dance to.
