funerals
July 23 2006
i've been thinking about funerals a lot lately. particularly my own.
as morbid as it sounds, have you ever thought about that? if you got to watch your own funeral, what would it look like? who would be there? what would people say?
i have a t-shirt that says, "live your life so that the preacher won't have to lie at your funeral."
will the preacher have to lie at yours?
i wonder about mine.
i'm going to do better, though. i promise.
lastly, i have a few requests for my funeral. so just to put these out there:
#1. i want to be buried in white. i also want everyone who comes to wear white instead of black.
#2. i want the songs "i'll fly away" and "swing low, sweet chariot" sung. not some modernized or saddened version. i want them in all their gospel splendor.
#3. i want to be buried in tennessee. i don't care where i end up in life, tennessee is home and always will be. i'm proud of my state and her history and i want my body to end up where it began.
i hope this post wasn't too depressing for you. just some stuff that's been on my mind.
i love you.
do you have any specific funeral requests?

a) did you know in middle eastern cultures people where white instead of black at funerals? yeah you wish you were brown.
b) my funeral requests consist of absolutely nothing...because im going to be alot happier than anyone in that room...i don't want tears...I want stories to be shared and lots of laughter and chocolate cake...in memory of my browness...and turkish coffee...minus the nastiness.

Grr, I was totally going to make a funeral post today, too. :P I want everyone to wear pink somewhere on them, champagne served even to minors, and Tchaikovsky playing. Oh, and board games. Maybe a movie. We's gonna party. And nobody better try to convert people, like at old-time funerals. Ugh.

well brian. when i die i want all of my albums flung open and pictures of things that ive done and people that ive loved to be everywhere...being the artist that i am.. i want it to be very beautiful. lots of white lilies and of course the yellow pink tipped roses...but reallly...i dont mind how the funeral happens. im much more concerned with how i am remembered and the legacy that i leave.. i want people to laugh and smile and know that im finally where im supposed to be.(my dad calls it graduation day:-)) -kels

I don't usually think about my own funeral. However, I do wonder what my brother's and parents' funerals would be like. For my funeral, I request that I'm cremated, dumped wherever is convenient, everyone wears whatever they feel like, and everyone has a wild party in my honor.

i want pictures everywhere.
i want a celebration of my life to come.
i want jason mraz. (thats a stretch)
and i wanted to be buried in what i am comfortable in and something thats is me.
so im feeling some jeans and a t-shirt.
along with the stuffed animal ive had since i was six months, and my bible. as cheezy as it sounds...
it was my life and i want old hymns.
i grew up in a small southern baptist church in mississippi and thats what i grew up on.
no black either.
and i also want to be buried in TN. its home.

I started to think about these things when one of my very good friends died in Feburary. I hated how some drama circulated at her funeral. The only thing I've really decided on is NO DRAMA. It's just definately not the place.
Other than that, I haven't put too much consideration into it. I guess that I should one of these days because you never know, huh?

assuming that my organs are still in working condition, they must all be donated to those who need them.
and my body will be donated to research universities/organizations.

I want Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne to be played at some point. Also, if I know I'm going out ahead of time, I'll make a video to play of me telling everybody how great they were. Everyone is allowed to be sad, but only because they will be missing my total awesomeness. I personally plan to be having a soft drink chugging contest against Jesus to make up for my loss to Scott, so I'll be doing great.
