Funerals as they should be. How do you think they should be organised? |
Two years ago a close friend, who I raced with, got killed racing at the Isle of Man TT races on his motor-cycle. At the funeral, most had t-shirts, jeans, bike leathers etc. There was hardly a tie in sight. The funnies that we all used to do made the ceremony light hearted. This reflected him in its entirety. At the end of the service guests left the church to the sound of "look on the bright side of life". This was a humorous song from a film called "The Life of Brian" by Monty Python. When I go, it's gotta be fun for all and not sadness. My life has no time for sadness so my death definitely shouldn't either. i agree also, we recenly laid my dad to rest and i thought the vicar was very good coz he knew dad wasn't a religious person he asked if we would rather him not wear his dog collar (sorry don't know the right word for it) so we said that would be apt, we sang no hymms me and my sister and one of his brothers just spoke about dad how he was and what he liked and we gave thanks to the people for coming to celebrate his life not to god. Obviously it was still a very sad day, but we made it a special day for dad. x They should be a celebration of life not gloomy and morose. We should all tell a story that makes us smile and remember the good times, not dwell in the sad past. i think its personal choice, i want wipeout at my funeral funerals should reflect the personality of the dead person. It is a celebration of their life afterall Who cares but the living. To those I leave behind I say - get on with it - I'll watch and laugh, or cry. Here here, mine will be full of bright colours, dress as you feel and lots of good rock songs.... No hymns, sadness or prayers. That my choice, and funerals should be respected they way the person wants it to be.... Wow, that sounds like a great way to go out. I don't want a bunch of weepy ponderings about life and death, I want a live band and an open bar! |
