Would it be wrong to have a stripper perform at my funeral?

On the plus side, a stripper funeral now looks reasonable and tame.

You could leave it to a theatrical company for use in productions of Hamlet.

To the OP: A stripper at your funeral would be a great set up for you pop out of your casket yelling “Gotcha ya!

Most definitely not but the song should be Motorhead’s Killed by Death.(I want this song played at my funeral.)

For certain individuals I have known, I think having a stripper at their funeral actually would be comforting to the mourners because it would be symbolic of how the deceased lived their life. Some of the best funerals (if such a term can be applied) I have attended have involved people telling their most heinous, but in retrospect funny stories of the deceased while steadily drinking.

Heh, that’s great! :smiley:

But no - my wife objected to the whole “removal of skull” part. So no skull donations for me, if I predecease her.

I try hard to avoid asking rhetorical questions. When I wrote Do you think most persons at your funeral will be comforited by this plan, I was making an inquiry, not a statement.

If I die in the next few years, I’m sure my funeral will not be something I’d overall approve of; my wife and sisters would want a religious service, which is vexing and borderline offensive to me. But since I’ll be dead & non-existent, the point is to comfort them.

I still insist on being cremated though. Or fed to sharks.

New there’s an interesting funeral – held at feeding time next to a shark tank.

And she was responding to your inquiry…

Hey, a drinking-cup made out of a skull is decorative, useful and has a rich history! :wink:

I even drafted up a will to cover this, which I still have around on the system somewhere …

If I were to die today…
I don’t think my funeral would be heavily attended.
Although I agree that I would be ‘dead and gone’, I do think a funeral of my planning could still benefit myself in that my funeral is not a platform for others to spout their beliefs or spread their propaganda.

**Did you listen to the song? ** (a secondary point of this thread) That is a plump stripper song. Think Christina Hendricks. None of this stripper pole crap! Tassels baby!

If the kids are old enough to face death, they are old enough to face sex.

At that point, you might as well have them play Mack the Knife.

:eek: Ooohh.I wonder if I could slip that into my will without the wife noticing.

This extremely rare NON-DIRTY episode of Oglaf points out the problem:

(Spoilered anyway)

The prequel to this, stripping at funerals, was the subject of a 1983 Taiwanese movie called 台上台下。 It’s been a popular practice for at least decades in Taiwan. Although in my experience the stripping was down to a bikini rather than a birthday suit.

Turn the skull over, it works just fine. :smiley:

[Actually, the plan was to set the skull into a silver mounting. It would have been awesome ]

Most horrifying wake ever!

I don’t know about a stripper, but I want this guy to sing at my funeral.

It was the shoes that put it over the top.

Well, you were just shy, that’s all.
