Were you just watching the film Five?

Bonfire for me! Eyes full as smoke is deadly. Can't see a thing

No Thanks, seal my coffin and bury me without any ceremony. There would be a sparse crowd. People who I thought were friends saying he's paying for his actions now. :pac:

No funeral please - just leave me out in a field for the foxes and crows to pick at.

I have a strange desire to be left out as carrion too. Some sort of returning back to nature thing. I'd like to be eaten by gulls though.

But if I did get to see my own funeral that would change everything. I'd make it the most awkward event ever staged with at least one 'hooker bursting out of the cake' type stunt.

Does anybody ever think about their body after death. I'm just looking at my hand here now and I know that at some stage it will rot and turn to bone inside a box six feet under the ground. Thoughts like that bring death home to me, It's coming soon the clock is counting down and there's not a thing we can do about it.

Like at the end of a movie when they write on the screen what the characters did afterwards?

"Bill is retired now and living in Saskatchewan"
"Mary never recovered from the car accident and died of her injuries"

Is it your left hand, you know, the deft one?

That's it man the deftlefthand has a time limit. My spirit will become extinct but the hand and the rest of my body will have to face the wrath of decomposition.

There's nothing more sobering that the thoughts of your own mortality, yet nothing as beautiful and poetic as the transience of a hand, in all its glorious yet delicate leftishness and the fragility but tenacity of deftness.

Ehh.. No. No need for all that and funerals as it's an ancient and old thinking to this date in time. I'll be like a cat, and when i feel my time is close.. i will walk up to the top of the donegal mountains with a sleeping bag and leave my container there out of the reach of all people and melt naturally into the depths of wet muck. I would hate to even think of seeing my own funeral in progress with weeping people (if any lol) zod no...take me to the mountains were there are no people.

According to Dr. Raymond Moody, the best-selling author and alleged charlatan - his own website boasts of THREE appearances on 'Oprah' - it just might be possible to witness your own funeral, sadly I believe you have to purchase his book in order to 'get the knowledge' so to speak.
Life's too short for that type of nonsense.

Funerals here tend to follow the same format - die, waked, ceremony, burial/cremation, piss up.


You will have some genuine mourners who are grieving, some who pretend they're grieving, some who go 'to pass themselves', some who go for the piss up and then the handful that attend any funeral they can. The one advantage of seeing your own funeral is that you could then tell with 100% certainly who the genuine people in your life were.


Seeing your own funeral wouldn't fulfill your life though, because it's held after you die.

I'm going to try and have my funeral before I die. Get it out of the way like.

I'll send out nice invitations and be carried up to the altar in a coffin. Then I'll rise dramatically and make a speech.

It'll be a lovely day out. Mostly importantly, there will be cake.

Just have a fake funeral before you die. That will tug peoples heart strings lol
