Discussion Do you want a funeral?

[NeverMatteredAnyway]

Glad if it has therapeutic effect ! That artist has a magical power to capture the best little moments and reveal them as gems. Nothing a heartless millionnaire could spot

Nothing most ppl could spot! Theyre wonderful!

 

[Broken Chimera]

I'll take this with no service.

 

[s1mplem3]

No.

Lol love it

 

[Intelligent_Lobster]

I do not want a funeral. I think that it would be unnecessary, and provoke sadness in people that would otherwise not know I passed on.

 

[JohnUK]

No. Just take my body to the nearest crematorium to where I die and scatter me there. No fuss

 

[Cutepoison]

I actually don't. Not in it's traditional sense at least. I want a farewell party.

 

[Sensei]

No, I don't want a funeral, but I accept the thought that people close to me might want one. (My funeral wouldn't exactly be crowded, though.) I've understood that survivors need some kind of closure.

Nah. My list of requests goes like this;
Reject possession of the body, you don't have to deal with it. I want a last 'fuck you' to the govt. Let them deal with it.

If you really want to do something;
<Donate to science<if they won't take it burn it, scatter ashes on my favorite beach<Don't have a funeral have a great holiday and use all the money you would've used.
Obviously they can do what they want, but I'm asking at least lol

Someone has to claim the body and pay for the cremation, otherwise the govt does cremate you, n you sit on a shelf in a tin for all eternity. I knew someone who died n her friend claimed her, paid n got the ashes

 

[Isittimetogonola]

I do not want a funeral. I want to be cremated and have what few people that care bring it to a bar and everyone get blind drunk. In their drunkenness, pour my ashes down the gutter. They can visit that bar if they want. Gutter is where I am and forever will be. Otherwise, I am not worth remembering.

That's fine with me!

Govt gotta get their monies somehow lol

 

[waterbottleman]

No, I don't want a bunch of people to go to my funeral because they feel socially obligated to go, not because they genuinely care and sad that I'm gone.

 

[Yomyom]

No, I want to be forgotten.

 

[Inferdan]

We spend our whole lives gathering guests for our funeral...or so I've read

 

[Anomaly]

Absolutely not. I don't want a funeral, a memorial, a grave, or anything else. I just want to be cremated as cheaply as possible and then to have my ashes dumped in the most remote location anyone is able and willing to go to--in other words, as far from the taint of humanity and civilization as possible. Given a choice, I'd prefer the depths of Antarctica or some lonely coral atoll in the Pacific. But if it turns out to be the local dog park, that's fine too.

 

[terry_a_davis]

Not really but don't care either way, I won't know anything about it, hardly anyone if anyone would be there.

 

[Nem]

If there was a funeral, there'd only be two pallbearers (only two handles on a garbage can)
Peace/hugs

 

[Thinking Beyond]

Yes I'd like a funeral as I have family and friends that love me.

 

[stormy_night]

No I wouldn't want one. It's just too expensive in my opinion. I don't have that many people that care anyway so it just unnecessary to waste people's time for me.

 

[m00nl1ght]

I wouldn´t want one

 

[Deleted member 1496]

I'll setup the body -> coroner -> crematorium -> urn since the hotel probably won't dump my body into the dumpster out back, but beyond that, I don't care if my family wants to toss my ashes into a trashcan. I didn't live a life worth celebrating. And for those who might cry or be mad about my death, uh, did you see the way you treated me? I didn't matter. The only surprise may be that my first complete act of successful defiance, selfishness, independence, freedom, and self-love was to leave this world.

 

[whereispeace]

No, I don't want the attention. If I could die without anyone even knowing, I would.

 

[Anhedonic]

The invitation would say, "You're invited to Juliet's Last Goodbye party. Please bring all her favorite foods and no need for gifts. She won't be needing them anytime soon... or at all. Actually, be prepared to take something home to get your portion of the will beforehand. The night will end with her drinking her "special drink" *cough cough sn* then everyone's allowed to go home ;)"

I know you're joking but this is actually a thing, if you're part of the Californian elite. A "rebirth ceremony" sounds like the perfect way to go:

I arrived at my friend's party. A few hours later she died, exactly as planned.

[ritsulover]

Not really, barely anybody would show up, and those who do show up would go cause they feel compelled to. But I guess it's up to them. I'd be dead so it doesn't matter to me either way

 

[angel_like_demon]

No, not at all. I just want to be cremated, turned into a pretty stone (you can do that!) or have ashes, or maybe be donated to science? But I don't want a funeral.

 

[Donk]

dont really care. i wont be there anyways

 

[Rinzing]

I don't really have a reason not to want one, it's mostly for the familys or loved ones of the passing. I don't mind what my family desires for me as I wouldn't be able to judge it myself anyways.

 

[InTheAirTonight]

Just throw me in a composting facility

 

[muffin222]

I just want to be cremated
