You don't want everyone's last memory of you to be in a drab funeral home. Something alfresco perhaps? Standing? Lying down? Suspended from cables?

What shall we do with the body? Burial? Cremation? I plan to be flung into the sea from atop a cliff by a 100ft trebuchet while a band plays one of those bouncy New Orleans funeral diddys.

I told my wife to buy a 100 bucks worth of fire wood.
Dump my corpse on top and torch the sucker.
When you are dead you are dead, the important part is gone.

They say the funeral is for the living.

Maybe I'll give everyone one free swing with bat (no face shots). Drape me across one of those carnival games where you whack the base and ring the bell at the top.

I agree but it gets taken to far.
People actually go into debt to bury there loved ones, what a rip off!

Weird question but here's my take. I think cremation takes half of the bad feeling from death. I am more freaked out out seeing someone in a coffin looking very little like they did when they were alive than seeing an urn with ashes. At funerals with closed caskets people don't get as sad as when they have to see the body. Good for the environment, all-natural, less sadness and no necrophiliacs

. Cremation all the way.

I grew up next to a man that owned a Beer Distributorship. As you entered the funeral home they were pouring beers from a keg and asking if you'd like to have "one last beer w/_____."

shoot ya, i would want a celebration of my life not a mourning that im gone...look back at my life and remember the good times and be happy we had the times that we did have. I want ppl to get up and tell funny stories about me and then have a bbq not that catered crap an at home family style bbq with friends.

Yep, definitely something upbeat. Don't want anything remotely dignified tho. Being flung off a cliff by a trebuchet seems a fittingly absurd end.

Ending up in the sea seems right since I eat a lot of fish. Never eaten worms tho so burial doesn't seem fair.

Tell your lawyer to make them do it in order to get the inheritance. When it's done, let them know you already gave all your money to the last hooker who blew you.

I would like to be shot into outer space directed at a galaxy with the highest chances of intelligent life, which might be able to clone me, then my cloned self will become the fuhrer and take over the known universe.

All i would like in a peaceful dignified ceremony is Mary Fryes 'Do not stand at my grave and weep' to be read out.

Possibly 'You raise me up' also sang
