Is it morbid to think about your own funeral?

[LDS Jock]

Lately I've been thinking of mine. What music I'd like played, that I want cremated and ashes scattered in a certain spot, stuff like that. Does anyone else do this, even occasionally? Am I the only one?

[JohnKleeb]

1. It's freaky

You ok dude?

[LDS Jock]

3. well, yes I'm fine

I did lose a friend this week, and maybe that's what started all this. I can't think of any other reason. I've wanted to be cremated for some time though.

[JohnKleeb]

7. aww man, how?

always tough to lose a friend, Ive been there, and I remember finding out.

[LDS Jock]

9. suicide.. on thursday night

I don't know much more than that.. no one knows why.. not that it would make a damn bit of difference

[JohnKleeb]

12. ouch dude

Tough why to go, Donny died in an ATV accident the summer we were going in to Sophomore year, we weren't close but we knew and were friendly. I had a good friend of his in a class last year and his ex girlfriend lives in my neighborhood. It was so sad, and I think of him always because he's buried across the school and the neighborhood he lived in, I walk through daily and his closest friends and family spraypainted DS in his memory, its been nearly 3 years and I often think of it, poor guy, I wish he could be graduating with us in the spring.

2. I want my funeral to be before I die, so I can sit there and listen to

what everyone has to say about me. Seriously. I want to sit up in the coffin and listen to the eulogies - if there's going to be any!

[HEyHEY]

4. All the time - I wanna have a big middle finger

Facing a section of people pre-selected to sit there. Then they'll get a little envelope with a note saying "Jeremy never really liked you."

5. I do occasionally.

I don't know if I'd care to even have a funeral. If someone can't see me till I'm laying in a box somewhere they can stay home.

6. Yes, you're abnormal and should definitely seek help.

8. I don't think it's weird

I did quite a bit of thinking about it over the past few months.

[LDS Jock]

10. I can understand you doing it too

with your situation. :hug: I don't dwell excessively on it, just think about how I'd like to go out.

[flamingyouth]

13. Whatever you do...

Please have them put a large poster of your sigline at the entry. :D :hug:

[LDS Jock]

14. LOL.. silly n/t

[Deja Q]

11. I've been doing it more recently. It is not freaky. It is inevitable.

I'm already planning the music I want played, though I'm not sure how the attendees (all 3 of them) would respond.

[mairceridwen]

15. nah

I used to do that all the time

now, I've been so freaked out about my own mortality that my funeral is the last thing I can think og

[mtnsnake]

16. It's abnormal if you DON'T think about it. What if no one shows up?

That would really suck.

[LDS Jock]

17. then I'd have to come back and haunt them

which could really be fun

[JohnKleeb]

18. hah but reincarnation would be fun too

I know what I would want to be reincarnated as :).

[LDS Jock]

19. what?

[JohnKleeb]

20. oh umm

Ive always wondered what it would be like to be the opposite sex :D. Yes, typical hetero guy talk.

[LDS Jock]

22. ahhhh... I should have known you would be a pervert

tisk tisk tisk

[JohnKleeb]

24. oh come on don't tell me you didn't know

[LDS Jock]

25. i wasn't thinking about it enough

I'm tired, mind not fully functioning

[JohnKleeb]

26. true dat

but yeah its pretty typical for that to happen at least once.

[Goathead]

21. How the hell are you going to know the difference?

Why waste your time thinking about crap like that? Even though I do, often.

[LDS Jock]

23. "why should I waste my beautiful mind on things like that"

or something like that.. a quote from Barbara Bush.. no reason, just because thats me

[enigmatic]

27. I'm taking the Zen route...

I told my wife that when I die I want to be cremated and have the ashes flushed down the toilet.

And yes, I'm completely serious.

[LDS Jock]

28. why even take them home?

let them blow out of the car on the drive home

[enigmatic]

30. I like the idea of clensing our city's plumbling system!

I figure all the alcohol in my body would be a good start. Heh...

[Shadowen]

29. Yes, it is.

But morbidity ROCKS! Keep it up!

[UdoKier]

31. I occasionally do, but not much.

Not like I'm going to get to enjoy it.

I would like everybody to have a good time, drink, do karaoke whatever. I don't want to be remembered with a grim procession.
