    I only have one and that's not to be buried in a suit. I for some reason can't stand wearing suit. I always feel uncomfortable in them and don't think they suit me. Even tough it fits me correctly.
    Apart from that they can do what ever they want with which will probably be funeral home/church/Buried. I don't really care about that or music/poems/who lifts the coffin/etc.
    I would like for those attending to get a decent bit of food/meal.

    Have you any requests for when you die?

    Just that they check really well that I’m definitely dead.
    After that it’s a free for all !

    Definitely not a religious funeral. I want everyone to wear bright colours and play my favourite stories. Cremated not buried.

    When I inevitably choke to death feeding my gummy bear addiction, I hope they say I was killed by bears and just leave it at that.

    Don’t build a park bench in my honor. TA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,257 ✭✭✭Sonics2k


    Scatter my remains at my local park.

    Oh, and I don't want to be cremated.

    Cremated. Ashes in the sea.

    Small service. Immediate nuclear family, closest friends.

    Never any memorial services etc.

    No goddam priests.

    Please use 'Extreme Embalming' on my corpse.

    Bury me with some acorns so that in a few hundred years when the tree blows down, they find my skeleton tangled up in the roots. Awesome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,073 ✭✭✭Rubberlegs


    I want to be buried dressed as I nearly always do, jeans, t shirt and runners. Knockin on Heaven's Door, Guns n Roses version played as I am being lowered down. I also want a bench dedicated to me at my favourite place.

    Similar. Told them want no church or none of this deadhouse stuff having everyone standing around having to shake hands with people. I don't like funerals and only went to my fathers funeral because I had to so want my family to just take me straight to the crematorium, have the little service they provide, say their goodbyes and then go get drunk.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,813 ✭✭✭clintondaly


    I want to be buried with my mobile and plenty of credit.....Just in case,or the old fashioned way with a bell beside me







    Actually.....Make it both please


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,106 ✭✭✭PlaneSpeeking


    Yeah got mine all planned out - music, readings, the lot.

    I saw 50 coming up ahead and thought, best had!

    Oh and I read Poe's Premature Burial at 12 - CREMATION OR ELSE!!!!!!

    Cremation for me. Ashes scattered in local river where I learned to swim and fish.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,627 ✭✭✭Woke Hogan


    Harvest my corpse for organs and bury me. Cremations are an abomination.

    This is what my wife and I played on the way to our civil ceremony.

    Our two witnesses giving each other weird looks in the back seat.

    I have a mate who wants to be cremated at Disco Inferno playing as the curtains close...!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,085 ✭✭✭Rubberchikken


    Am donating body to science (heaven help them), and then cremation of whats left whenever theyre finished digging and poking around it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Rory28


    Tie me to a weather balloon. I will haunt wherever I land.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 953 ✭✭✭Nodster

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 945 ✭✭✭Colonel Claptrap


    I have donated my body to medical science.

    It's a very easy process. Just contact your local university, fill in some forms and get your next of kin to witness your signature. Once you pop your clogs make sure your family remember to contact the university and not the funeral home.

    Assuming you're not mangled in a car wreck they will accept your remains as long as they are relatively in tact. Your cadaver will be assigned to a medical student for a year or two.

    When they are finished with your remains, your family will be contacted. They will pay for a burial/cremation and hold a secular ceremony to honour your gift to the university. There is a communal plot for donors in Glasnevin cemetery I believe.

    The six people who end up carrying my coffin have to dress as The Village People. Soundtrack for the ceremony is Fleetwood Mac and Earth, Wind and Fire.

    Groovy, baby!


  • Registered Users Posts: 855 ✭✭✭moonage


    I want to be sure my loved ones will never be short of pens when I'm gone.

    Id like my body to go to Gunther Von Hagens Institute of Plastination, get plastinated and then get exhibited all round the world displayed in some interesting position.

    I have some hardware in my body that might be of interest if they dissect around it open.

    I'd like to be able to see the sky. That's all really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 166 ✭✭henryforde80


    Theres a new thing where your buried in a composoble bag, soil and nutrients and with tree seeds. The tree then is planted meant to be part of you and people put placs on the trees.

    I think this is a cool idea.

    Also play a recording of me naming out every individual who is a c**t and give out about them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,671 ✭✭✭GarIT


    I'd request that anyone that mentions praying, a better place, moving on or anything spiritual be asked to leave the funeral.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 896 Mod ✭✭✭✭Fuzzytrooper


    I have but one request...Avenge me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    No to an open casket. I do not want my corpse paraded.

    This cremation and throw me into the sea business has grown on me.

    Lately I find the idea of burial abhorrent. Even if we have a beautiful seaside sandy cemetery.

    I wouldn't like anyone who I don't like to attend any ceremony though. I'd have to come back to haunt them, I may wish to have a restful afterlife instead.

    You should leave a list to be read out of the names of the people you don't like.

    Morphine, please. Lots and lots of morphine. And if you don't mind, I'd like some extra morphine with that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 614 ✭✭✭notsoyoungwan


    I’d like to be cremated and then my ashes scattered off a cliff at sunset in my favourite location.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,025 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn

    Are you planning a painful afterlife?

    I just said if its bin week, stick me in the grey bin.

    Cremated. Ashes off a boat sailing westwards in the Atlantic ocean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,006 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    1) Harvest any organs that are still useful if I happen die under circumstances that make that possible.

    2) Cremate me.

    3) Don't let a priest next or near me. Humanist ceremony please.

    4) Play "Rock the Casbah" at it.

    5) Have a hooley.

    6) Scatter my ashes to the wind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,383 ✭✭✭peckerhead


    This ash-scattering into the ocean scenario has long appealed to me.

    But my plans involve one of those New Orleans-style jazz bands playing a slow march as the human cannon is wheeled into place.

    A bit of atmosphere, for Christ's sake. I'll be long enough dead.
