Your Funeral: Plan it now and save! =D
Hi, recently I saw something cool, and it has led me to do some thinking. Hunter Thompson was a damn genius, and as such had this done after he died.



Now, I know a lot of you are still pretty young, but for the most part a good number of you have a good head on your shoulders. So I ask, if you had the resources to afford what ever it is you wanted, what would your funeral be like?

Be creative.

I'm not 100% sure yet, so I will sit and read some of your ideas and see if they can help me out.

D0R, that is an epic idea.

I have never actually been to a funeral in my life, so im unsure of what they are like. Mine would be standard.

Well, that is the thing, the typical funeral is a very sad, morose event. That is why Hunter Thompson's was so cool, he turned it into a celebration, using one of his favorite past times, guns and explosives. It was all very fitting for his life and work.

One thing I have always known is that I want mine to be happy, its just how to get that reaction out of people.

Shot into space sounds like a good idea, then crash land on some alien planet, and they freak out cause they found the corpse of some alien guy ;o

Oh, and I would make sure there were at least 5 tall basketball players in the crowd, each one payed to smack down my head and start the service over.

Seriously.

That sounds terrible....

As I get cremated I want Johnny Cash "Ring Of Fire" playing. This is deadly serious, I think it would be so awesome and it would be memorable.

Nobody can wear black, but none of this bright yellow clothes or fancy dress rubbish either. Everyone should wear boardshorts (I wear them pretty much everyday, only ever wear trousers if I am going out of my house)

That's about it.

Stairway to heaven was made trite when mt mom told me she wanted it as her funeral song 18 years ago. :P I don't meant to insult your dreams, but shoot for something bigger?! Where are the trumpets, the circus, or the quiet and solemn ceremony by a tree from your youth?

Let this thread be a guide to your last moments. :P
