Going out in style....Shirley's funereal idea du jour

Oh, I almost forgot! Shirley, your marshmallow roast idea is one of the niftiest funeral ideas I’ve ever heard. I wanna be there for that one.

Conversation between me and my husband, regarding our own funerals:

Him: I want a party when I die.
Me: Yeah, me too.
Him: I want all my musician friends to bring their gear, and jam for days and days.
Me: That’s kind of neat. I think I can arrange that.
Him: I want beer.
Me: I can supply a kegger for the meal-thing afterwards, if you want.
Him: No, you don’t understand. I do want a keg, but at the funeral home. Right next to my casket.
Me: Oh. Well, I don’t think they’ll let me do that. They don’t let you take drinks in to the room where the dead people are.
Him: Why not?
Me: I don’t know. Some health department regulations. How about I try & get one set up in the room where they let you smoke & drink coffee & stuff?
Him: I’ll have to think about it. Maybe I’ll just have to have my funeral at a Catholic church.
Me: I don’t think so, honey.
Him: Why not?
Me: Well, you’re not Catholic, and your musician friends would start toking the minute they smelled the incense.

I made my husband join a bridge club. He jumps next Tuesday.

Sure, but would you be coming or going?


Pardon me while I burst into flames.

Shirley,
I could be legal, if youre willing to make a few modifications. You could attend the BBQ, marshmellow in one hand, beer in thwe other, if you hurried. Most states have a mandatory embalming after 24hrs. As for the cremation…it would have to be one kickin’ fire, over 1000* for several hours. And burning flesh is nasty smelling.
On the other hand, my best friend has already set this up: her cremated remains in a 5lb Folgers coffee can, with her favorite hat on top. My job is to pass out the “Ta-Ta Tracy” T-shirts!!

Diane you silly woman… I never ever quit in the middle :wink:

Yes, it is Jeremy Bentham…I’m not sure where…mummified body/wax head. They have his head somewhere separate, didn’t turn out too well!

Cristi,

Can I come? Just so 80,000 people can tell me what I missed and I can be miserable?


Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.

Cristi,

Cristi…can I come and console him?
