What do you want your funeral to be like?

[Spiderman]

I'd like to be remembered as ill Duce. ill as in sick. Also Spiderman, and hopefully my pet tarantulas would find a good home.

I would want to die from a venemous arachnid bite and found half decomposed flesh partially eaten by wolves and two pallbearers because there's only two handles on a garbage can and some prayer warriors praying for my soul. Closed casket (or garbage can) funny funeral. I'd also like to be hung upside down and used as target practice for a while. I'd want my corpse spit on, mutilated, and urinated on as well to share in the humiliation and desecration of Il Duce, Jesus Christ, and the many souls I venerate who died without dignity or burial whose corpses were abused.

I would eventually like a Catholic priest to celebrate mass for the repose of my soul but not have too much good said about me, for I get more prayers if it sounds like my soul is in jeaprody. I'd want lots of laughter at my funeral as well though. I'd like it to more resemble a wedding with lots of drunkards dancing, and talking with slurred speech about what a nut I was and using me as the subject of their songs.

Would want my body to be kept in a box in a monastery for 12 years like Mussolini's was and my soul would ever pray with the monks and assist at Mass. Then I'd want my bones displayed on the walls as is done at a few monasteries.

Why do you choose to show off your self admired imaginations on a religious forum?

Are there no literary forums where more would be interested?

The original post is about funerals. Funerals are very religious. What do you want yours to be like?

 

[Dan From Smithville]

I am thinking about disappearing into the desert, never to be found again. Leave them wondering what happened. Did I die? Did I escape to a tropical island to live out the reminder of my days in an exotic paradise? Was I the victim of some nefarious plot?

Leave shrouded in mystery. Saves on funeral expenses too.

Or I could go out like I came in. Screaming and covered in...

Good answer. Just going missing and being a mystery would be nifty

You hate family and friends that much?

Some would claim that is the heart and soul of all religious discussion.

No it wasnt

Have you a monopoly and privilege to define religious?

 

[Spiderman]

No it wasnt

I mentioned Jesus Christ, a priest celebrating mass for the repose of my soul, prayer warriors, my corpse in a monastery and my spirit praying with the monks....how is that not religious natured?

 

[Shadow Wolf]

At this rate I probably won't have much a need to plan a funeral.

Context. You're merely using buzzwords to attempt to show off

Dont need a monopoly

Not at all. I just like the romance of the idea. I doubt my actual demise will prelude an atypical departing ceremony.

It's possible something like that might be an unexpected and unusual gift. Bragging rights. It could herald a resurgence in oral traditions of the past. Probably not though. More likely the tale would be distilled down to its essence. Some old nut drove off into the desert like an bloody moron and it cost a fortune to find him. So we had him cremated and used the ashes to fertilize yonder tree.

Who knows. I'll be dead no matter what goes down after.

I'm trying to initiate conversation about what people envision their funeral to be like and I shared my two cents.

I'd rather hear from others which is why the OP title is a question
