Funerals...

:lol: :lol: :lol:

hmm I think I'll have music all the way through, then I can dance (deadly) until I'm cremated...
 
Someone i used to work with died a few years back in an accident and at his funeral they went and played 'Angels' (i think it`s the most popular choice nowadays) and knowing him as i did i realised he would have hated that.
In my experience they always play sentimental sh1te like that.
 
Well I at my dad's funeral we had 'Hard to be humble' at the beginning by Mac Davies which was funny and had 'Dont stop me now' at the end. I can't listen to either of the songs nowadays but they were good choices :P
 
Nice.I was under the impression the family got a choice of maybe ten or a dozen songs and if they didn`t like them...tough.
Looks like they`ll be playing 'Dunkelheit' at mine after all :what:
 
I'm not having one: my Will states that after the medical profession have a go for whatever they can use or teach with, what's left is to be fired up at Gas Mark 5, with a sprinkling of sea salt, chervil, parsley and thyme, and consigned to infinity (and beyond) without a service or anyone present. I'll be leaving enough for a good hooley for friends, though! :D
 
Jeez...I'm talking about funerals and I'm only 16 now!!!!!! I've got my whole life ahead of me!!!!!

I would like to be cremated, I can't bear thinking if I was buried, all those rats eating my insides and rotting, turning evil as skeletion, YUK.......no way!!!!

And would like the commentary of Grey Abbey winning tomorrows Gold Cup!!!!!! playing in the background. I prefer listening to commentaries rather than music....Weird!!!!!
 
You could then have your ashes spread across Cheltenham's winning line, so that every time a horse thundered past, a little bit of you would get spread all round the course. Cool, or what? B)
 
I'm having my ashes scattered at my favourite football team's ground by my favourite footballer, if he's still alive, while the song my favourite team recorded for one of their cup final appearances is played over the tannoy system. :D
We picked my Mum and Dad's favourite Shirley Bassey songs for my Mum's funeral and at my Dad's ' You Take The High Road' was played. (That may not be the correct title, but hopefully you know the one I mean)

You'd be surprised just how many people have that done at Chelters Jon ( or possibly not ! ), also know it's been done at other courses.
 
I have told my wife to put me in the wheelie bin. Could it be that I'm the reincarnation of Sisyphus.

The myth of Sisyphus

Relevant text

"It is said that Sisyphus, being near to death, rashly wanted to test his wife's love. He ordered her to cast his unburied body into the middle of the public square. Sisyphus woke up in the underworld. And there, annoyed by an obedience so contrary to human love, he obtained from Pluto permission to return to earth in order to chastise his wife. But when he had seen again the face of this world, enjoyed water and sun, warm stones and the sea, he no longer wanted to go back to the infernal darkness. Recalls, signs of anger, warnings were of no avail. Many years more he lived facing the curve of the gulf, the sparkling sea, and the smiles of earth. A decree of the gods was necessary. Mercury came and seized the impudent man by the collar and, snatching him from his joys, lead him forcibly back to the underworld, where his rock was ready for him."
 
Far as I'm concerned you can put be in a cardboard box and no ceremony please . No minister , no reading , I won't be there . Just a body . I don't care what happens to me after I die , more worried about how I live now . No offence to the religious amongst us . Always been an existentialist .
 
There's an Undertakers opened in Wallsend called "Go As You Please"! They have samples of coffins in their window Black & White stripey ones! SHEARERRRRRRR! Wicker ones, probally to cater for all the spear chuckers knocking about! But for the pricely sum of three & a half gran you can be buried at sea, and 16 of your mates can go along to see the splash! Imagine being washed up on Tynemouth Long Sands :D
Reminds me of the 4 seater light aircraft that crashed in a Irish cemetery, police say that by dark they had recovered 123 bodies, but expect that number to rise by first light next day!!!!!! :lol:
 
That's right, DG - we've had a fair few sprinklings at Fontwell Park, Brighton, and, of course, our late forum chum Alan joined many of Lingfield's departed regulars by decorating the winning line after the last race. "That's the first time he's been that near to winning for a long while," said his widow Karen.
 
Jeez...I'm talking about funerals and I'm only 16 now!!!!!! I've got my whole life ahead of me!!!!!

I suggest you honour your debt to Lord Hartigan or your optimism may prove to be unplaced. The last man to dishonour a debt with him was Lord Lucan.

You may also want to reconsider your Merlinesque employment of exclamation marks, lest your enemies multiply even more.
