Speaking of funeral homes (we were, I swear!), have you thought about your funeral?

Posted by Mop (aka rburriel) Jul 6 '15, 09:56

I mean, do you have specific wishes and such? I've never given it much thought, and I don't want anyone else to give it much thought, either. Can you just ship my body to the dump? Y'all can have a barbecue or something if you like. Nothing formal. You can fall it a funeral shower. Someone will read off a list of my earthly belongings and hand them out.

Neptune Society or similar. Quick and easy for the family. Probably pre-paid. -- nm - Meg Jul 6, 10:20
Not the funeral but my brother and I were discussing what to do with me if I die - JD Jul 6, 10:11
Not really, and I don't really have specific wishes other than folks celebrate and laugh rather than mourn and cry if possible. - ty97 Jul 6, 10:04
In general terms, yes. But the funeral is ultimately not about the dead person, it's about the living. - spamlet Jul 6, 10:03
sure. and you should write that down if that's what you want. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 10:01 7
- I'm dead. What do I care? -- nm - Mop Jul 6, 10:02 6
  - The concept is to help those left after you deal with this stuff in the least stressful manner possible for them. - Will Hunting Jul 6, 10:03 2
    - and, without a will you are just making a whole crapload of work for the people that get stuck with it. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 10:03 1
      - This is me with my Mom - eag Jul 6, 10:08
  - but you do. or you wouldn't have typed that. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 10:02 2
    - That just seems like the most entertaining way of handling things. They can do whatever they want. -- nm - Mop Jul 6, 10:02 1
      - My dad also did grave digging (only backhoe in town) and I've helped at dozens. Write stuff down. Make it easier for people grieving. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 6, 10:20
Of course not - jangles Jul 6, 09:57
