Simple - I'm not having one. I have opted out of the dying deal. Special arrangement that allows me to just continue forever.

I do not have friends - re friends thread. As for relatives dying - no big deal - just get new relatives. The only reason for dying has gone out of my life so there is no point in not going on.

I have already organised mine.

Simple and as little expense as possible and only 5 red roses from my kids and grandchild.

I want a cardboard coffin, no special cars no mourners apart from immediate family no songs.

I cant stand funerals and the money people make from them, when it could be spent on something better. Once I am dead I am dead and why spend the day being miserable, life is for living.

I always used to say that I didn't care if I was left in the wheelie bin when I go, but I've changed my mind lately.

I want a really fancy affair now with lots of mourners grieving hysterically. Sad songs, lots of flowers, beautiful eulogies etc.

Shame I'll miss it really. :(

not really fussed. I'd rather just have it as small as possible but since I'd be dead its hardly going to be up to me. They'd need a big cofin though;)

Not particularly bothered what they do with the 'rotting' bit of me.

Hopefully my family won't spend money getting ripped off by the undertaker. £1000+ to take a box in an estate car 3 miles down the road and bury it?!!!!!!

Hire van to the landfill should suffice. Of course, that's after the NHS has taken the bits they want first.


(Hope they give my willy to someone who's careful!!:) )

As long as I get a good buffet I don't really care.

Although a horse drawn hearse would be nice. Through Neepsend. People standing outside boozers weeping and throwing flowers. Wearing veils. :hihi:

And the only memories they'll have of you will be the spaced-out piles of manure all over Neepsend.

I've thought a bit about when I pop my clogs and my conditions to my family would be.

1> My organs to be donated to the most needy people only.

2> Cremated with my own custom playlist playing in the
background.

3> My ashes to be scattered in these locations only, these are
the places I have felt truly at peace in my life so far:

1> Alton Towers
2> Benidorm Beach/Terra Mitica
3> York- from the top of the York Minster
4> My native Sheffield
5> My mams house
6> My current house

I'd like to have the conditions wrote into my will, so they all need to be fulfilled to the letter if want any of the cash I've left them all.

Good call Angelus. Can you imagine the face of the spotty oik 'in charge' when someone takes ya ashes on Oblivion?!!!

Spend it all before you go.

I'd love to have a jazz band playing, a horse drawn carriage (the horses with white plumes on) and lots of beautifully scented flowers which can then be donated to a local hospital/old folks home after the ceremony.

Champagne to be flowing, no-one to wear black and a real party atmosphere - a celebration of a life lived rather than lots of tears.

And 'always look on the bright side of life' to be played.

Then, i'd love to be turned into a diamond - i know they do that somewhere in the states and with any luck (fingers crossed)! By the time I go, it'll be available over here. My daughter can have the diamond made into a pendant or something. I think that would be really cool.

They can chuck me in the river off Ladies Bridge, I'll be dead, I won't care.

I dont want to be cremated.... They can bury me and plant a cherry tree over my body. that way I figure that part of me will allways live on in the tree.

I don't really mind. The only condition is that I am dead.

Actually, I'd like to be plastinated and cut-up by that German doctor.

That would be cool, and I'd last forever.

My own funeral arrangements, I would be most happy with the cheapest possible (chopped up in to small bits, bagged, and taken to the tip).

Funerals are an expensive business, and I'd rather spend the money while I'm alive on something I'd get infinate more joy out of.

I want a big funeral pyre in a field at night, with lots of flaming torches and chanting. Bring your own marshmallows! ;)

I guess to be cremated with my favourite Gibson Les Paul guitar. I'd tune the strings into an open chord so that when the heat made them snap they'd play a chord. Ooh, spooks!

The funeral service to be in a pretty church, so I'd say somewhere like St. Olave's in York. Then for all those people who have come to pay their respects (or say as my late grandfather used to; 'Never liked the ******* anyway') to grab the little jar containing my ashes, stand on Lendal Bridge and throw them into the river.

Then, the best bit for those left behind (probably with bits of me in their hair and on their clothes) to go on an all afternoon bender in the many wonderful pubs of York - hopefully at my expense.

Then the following morning, when you're all nursing a hangover, to go into York Minster and light a candle in my memory before leaving and getting on with your own lives.

Music would probably be George Harrison's All Things Must Pass.
