  • What would you like said at your funeral?

    I'm sure this has probably been a thread before... but the thought came to me last night, and it sounded like a good question for this forum.

    It all goes back to Huck Finn, who everyone thought was dead, so he got to see his own funeral.

    What would you like people to say about you when you pass on? I know that I'd like to be remembered as Intelligent and funny, but more than anything else... caring. Well, that's what I'd like anyway. I'm not sure what I expect people to say at my funeral.

    How about you? Do you know what you'd like people to say about you? Do you think you know what they will? Is there anything in particular you'd like to be remembered for? I know that I'd like to be remembered for curing cancer... but since I don't even work remotely near the medical industry, that doesn't seem likely...

    So, broncomania... if you were to kick it today....

    That I was a good daughter and wife. I loved to have fun and live life to the fullest. That I had a funky sense of humor, and a caring matter.
    Typical stuff, I suppose.

    Then they'd have to cremate me and take me to a Bronco game. Instead of having my ashes in an urn, make it a Bronco Helmet, and take me to a Bronco game. Then take me up to the best view you can find...some place peaceful and serene, and scatter my ashes to the wind.

    Of course, that is after everyone celebrates what I great life I lead. No mourning for me. Celebrate my life, my soul...not the passing of my earthly body. Be comforted I'm in the arms of Jesus, and smiling down on my family and friends.

      Ah... I forgot to mention that I'd like to be remembered as a good father and husband as well... but that's another thing that I'm not making a bunch of progress on.

        you will, eventually, young sprite! I didnt meet my hubby till I was 27...and married when I was 30. It takes time to find the special one.

        Oh! And I'd liked to be remembered for the awesome Pet Parent I was to my dog Kimber and cat Kayla. They are spoiled to the core, and well loved.

        Hopefully someday we hoped to be blessed with kids. That's a decision we left for God. We figure He knows best.

          I want a small service, first of all. I don't want a bunch of people I don't know there eating the food. I want it to be a party. Every person in attendance will be given a big bottle of beer on their way in, and they'll be required to drink from it at least once. Then, I want everyone there to take turns telling funny stories about me and leading toasts to my memory. By the end of the thing, everyone had better be drunk.

          Then, I want to be cremated, and my ashes divided up in seperate plastic bags. And then my closest friends will be willed plane tickets to exotic locations in Europe, Asia, and Australia, where their only instructions will be to scatter my ashes someplace nice and then enjoy the rest of the vacation. Anything I've got left will go to my kids.

          The point is, I want it to be a celebration of life, and not a sad event.

            Okay, the topic is what I would like said at my funeral:



            I’d like to thank everyone in attendance today as we reflect and celebrate on Sean’s life. I’d like to especially welcome all the foreign leaders and dignitaries present. Since there are so many speakers here today and we only have the Capitol Rotunda through the week, I’ll make my comments brief.

            What can be said about this man? A military brat, I’ll bet no one thought that toe-headed kid would lead such an interesting life. After all, through his mid-thirties he was a simple family man and professional.

            And what a loving husband and father he was. His wife is here as are his daughters: our President, which he knew simply as Korilyn and the 6 time Olympic fencing champion that he called Kateryn. We’re all sorry for your loss.

            His life changed when Sean’s books began to sell. And sell they did. Today he stands with King and Koontz as contemporary masters of the written word. Yet, Sean did something they never did. He adapted his own series of novels into movies, writing the screenplays, producing and directing them all himself and garnering three Best Director nominations.

            The world is grateful to him and his adventuresome spirit. Without it, he never would have found the lost city of Atlantis and given every culture a glorious new perspective on not only the past, but our future.

            As a minor token of thanks, the countries of the world granted him special dispensation in allowing him to legally keep a harem. Angelina Jolie, Kiera Knightly, and Christy Carlson Romano, we mourn with you especially since you were all with him at the end. He still looks so happy, peaceful.

            Farewell, son of the world. It is only fitting that you be the first man buried on the moon.

            Victory and defeat are matters of the temporary force of circumstance.



            Thanks, Snk16!!

              I'll go with.....



              Well, he was considered a jerk to most, and a know it all.

              But he was right a lot of the time, you know.

              He'd actually be pissed that you are all throwing him a funeral and sobbing anyway. Don't you understand that he is a WAAAAAAAAY cooler place? Be happy for him. Stop being so selfish in your own grief. You lost nothing, he gained everything.

              Now lets cremate his body and throw the party that he mandated and paid for in his will. He actually got The Police to re-form, as a one time special favor for producing Sting's most successful solo record, back in 2012. Yes, they are all in their 70's, but they can still play. So let's party.



              Waht do you think? To close to the truth for most people in mourning?



              Eldritch, who is Christy Carlson Romano? Never heard of her.

              Everybody's gotta elevate from the norm...

                    Actually, I'd never heard of her before today. The power of wiki compelled me.

                      The only thing I would hope to hear is that I made a positive impact on the peoples lives that I care about.

                              Hopefully, when they find me in the hotel room.
                              They will pry the beer from my cold, dead hand.
                              They will leave that smile upon my face.

                              They will put the prison uniform back on my body and prop me up next to the keg at the party where all my friends and enemies can shower me with compiments & curses. Everyone will talk about all the crazy things I've done. They will hopefully say that I was a great guitarist and drummer.

                              It will be a big party and at the end of it all. they will hoist me upon their shoulders and heave me into the bon fire where I can burn, burn burn.

                              Born loud, live fast & die laughing....that's me.
