When you die....

MidlandsM

...would you like your body to be "laid out"... and a wake to take place in your memory in your house???


Like in good olde Irish fashion. :pac:

ScumLord

Couldn't care less. If I could choose (and I can't really) I'd be burned in a field.

That could be arranged, Wicker Man season is coming up.

<_<

>_>

Rasheed

I would. Plenty of food and drink and chatting. No bolloxing with tears or anything.

antodeco

RubyWoo83

I want to be laid out on a mountainside and left to be eaten by the birds.

ZombieBride

I'm going to science.

Seedy Arling

What does it matter, sure you're gone.

I thought my grandad's wake was great fun, he would have loved it.

I will be dead, but I would recommend they have a party if my wife/ child want it. Funerals are for the living, not the dead. My dead body need not be present for the party....

Nothing like a good wake to catch up with people you haven't seen in ages.

willmunny1990

I wouldn't want an open coffin anyway, a lot of people that go to wakes/funeral homes to pay respects don't even no the person who's dead, they just go in for a nose around.

If i had my way i'd be dumped into the sea.

jam_mac_jam

No, I think its very creepy.

BBDBB

Viking burial please

You won't be doing too much catching up if it's your own

Depends on whether I died peacefully in my sleep or was decapitated for being atheist.

This. I don't want to burden my family with like a €5,000 funeral bill.

I'm dead, I don't care what happens with my body.

mfceiling

Laid out for all to see.

Oul lads coming to the house who never knew me, and are there for a free sandwich and a drink.

People looking at me and saying "doesn't he look like himself"

Others saying "ah, sure you wouldn't know it was him"

Some random lad saying "he's like the father"

Gamey oul fellow eyeing up my wife.

People outside the house saying "i won't go in, give my regards to the family"

Suppressed laughter coming from the kitchen when someone who knew me well, tells a dirty joke or a story about badness i once got up to.


Alternatively just fcuk me over a hedge up a back road...

Adamantium

Burned on a funeral pyre on one of the moons of Endor; thats if my son doesn't kill me first

Real Life

I dont really mind what happens, although the thoughts of a religious ceremony annoy me. i hope that doesnt happen, i dont want any priests involved in any way.
As for my body id like to think it went on to help something, whether it be another human or a plant. so if it cant be donated then maybe buried under a tree so it can feed off me.

Riesen_Meal

I wouldn't mind getting turned into a 12" vinyl for the craic :

Agricola

I will burn, like the heathen kings of old!

starviewadams

I'd like my carcass to either be thrown off the Golden Gate Bridge or skewered on top of the spire.

KTRIC

I'd like to be propped up in a corner, all pasty skinned with a vacant look on my face and a drink in my hand. It'll be like every other family gathering I go to.

Gran Hermano

Stick me in the brown bin with the other organic waste for all I care.
If my kidneys are still working, stick them in the green bin for recycling.

No. You won't

DEFTLEFTHAND

I don't really want to be brought back to my house in a box, I'd prefer to be kept at a funeral home or wherever until burial. A wake could still of course happen without the body, I'd like people to sample my Scotch collection and have a good time.:pac:

wexie

I keep telling the Missus she should cremate me in the fireplace, but she won't hear of it.

Apparently I'm being donated to science in return for a pair of Jimmy Shoes...or sumthing

Pottler

I'd say they'd cremate me, if only to kill the smell of me feet. I'm not entirely convinced it will work tho. nothing else does anyway..

I saw a documentary where a tribe in the Himalayas did this. They had no earth to bury their dead. So they had the witch doctor expose the corpse' inners. Then he said a few prayers before the birds landed.
Grandad is now flying with the eagles

Beats worms anyday if you ask me!

toastedpickles

I'd love to have a wake something along the lines of the song Finnegan's wake, some craic would be had if they went by that song

Dancor

Just put me in the brown bin.

Nah. I'd rather the last memory people have of me is a good one, one of me laughing or happy, not cold and lifeless.

I want a party though. Love a good party!

Hippies!

I want to be digitized and inserted in boards.ie

Ah_Yeah

I dont want my family to have a massive bill.

I want to donate my organs to science or for transplantation, then be cremated.

Then I want my family to have a huge session in memory of me!

BASHIR

Weekend at Bernie's for me please. One last huzzah!!

Ted_YNWA

Surprised no-one has said they want to be stuffed & left in random places. Would be even better if there was a small camera & speaker operated by one your family

wandatowell

I'm like denim, gonna be sticking around forever bud

Czarcasm

Having been to enough funerals in my time, I'd sooner people just didn't waste time with the funeral and the wake, etc, chances are they'll be cracking the champagne open when I'm gone anyway!

Dont call me Shirley

I wanna be cyrogenically frozen.

Just wondering if all the atheists who 'don't care' what happens their bodies object to necrophilia?

Just wondering like....

gdavis

laid out on a pool table in my favourite pub for a weekend and a session of epic proportions a la the wire

newmug

Yep. Traditional all the way for me.


One thing I would love though, is if they put in a hidden ram in the coffin, so that some of my loved ones could press a button, make me sit up, and frighten the bejaysus out of any unwelcome guests at the wake.

When I read the bolded part first, I thought "Jesus, he's a bit of a Fun Time Frankie!!", I thought you meant one of these!

Then I realised you meant a HYDRAULIC ram!

Pumpkinseeds

I don't want any fuss when I die. I'm having no funeral, I'm being wrapped in a shroud or having a wicker coffin then I'm being buried in a woodland grave with a native tree planted on me as a marker, no headstone, no fuss, just back to the earth.
