Your funeral.

I used to be all up for a normal burial but now i think i want to be cremated. My mother wants to be cremated because she doesn't want to be rotting below the ground in a cold place, think that's how i think of it now. I know it doesn't really matter but who knows!

So...how do you want your funeral to be? Do you want to be buried, cremated...etc? Anything else? Details?

I am planning to be buried, and I want Fade to Black by Metallica played as my coffin is lowered into the ground. I don't really care where I'm buried, anywhere will do I guess.

I want to be frozen :)
 
my god, just when I thought that I had seen all the threads ever on OcUK we get something like this... some people! :p

Normal funeral, 'My Way' by Herman Brood being played.

lol @ people wanting metal to be played though. How ****ing stupid, imagine your family and friends absolutely _cringing_ while such music is being played. Seriously now.
 
I want Greenday's "Good Riddance" to be my funeral song... but somebody will have to tell my parents that it is call "Time Of Your Life" or it probably won't happen!

I don't want any sort of church service. I don't mind having some sort of gathering for people to get closure, but it would hypocritical of me to have a vicar/priest saying religious nonsense if I wouldn't have stood for it when I'm alive.
 
I hate to repeat myself, but imagine your friends and family standing over your coffin while Green Day is being played. If I was your friend I'd find it incredibly awkward and embarrassing. Ah well, it's your funeral :p

Do you people genuinely want to buried with Green Day playing in the background?

Why not, I certainly don't want anything I don't like now.. No point in having hymns or some boring stuff..

I ideally wanted "Bring your daughter to the slaughter!" played at our wedding, but the missus said no :(

Why would it be awkward and embarrassing? Personally, I think it would be more suitable for me than listening to some music that didn't really suit my personality. Besides, I think Good Riddance is a very moving song (if a little common), and that it would work well at a funeral.

Edit: Thought I would post the lyrics to the song which might help you realise why it is a popular choice.

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

LOL Greenday. I think something like Vanilla Ice. Ice Ice Baby would be better, not for any other reason than it is an immense tune.

could imagine people crying lol while some people are singing and doing the movements. :D

Yo VIP let's kick it

Ice ice baby (x2)
All right stop collaborate and listen
Ice is back with my brand new invention...... (and tbh it just gets better)

either that or I need to do what Hunter S Thompson did. R.I.P.

Johnny Depp paid for him to be shot out of a cannon, sweeeeet.

You're right! I'm totally convinced now. Those lyrics are deep, and quite frankly, beautiful. :confused:

Well, each to their own and all that, but the thought of Billie Joe's harmonious voice, ringing out at funerals across the nation is frightening.

[edit] Oh, now I see Iron Maiden at a wedding. Fan-tas-tic.
 
By the way, Green Day??

Are you people 8 years old or what.

If I had the misfortune to be at a funeral/cremation and heard such things I'd walk out of it.

Same for wedding - my fiancee has expressed a wish to have some godawful metallica/iron maiden (don't know the difference, don't care either) song played at our wedding - I asked for the ring back, and when she realised I wasn't joking, she changed her mind sharpish.

I want to be stuffed and left somewhere inconvenient, so I can carry on annoying people even when dead.

My eldest daughter tells me that when I die she is going to have me stuffed and left in her hallway to scare any grandchildren she may of produced by then:eek::D
