A fairly morbid post but anyway........

Watching the funeral today got me thinking about my funeral. I want loads of music, A Palace shirt over my coffin, my golf clubs at the side of my coffin and EVERYONE to celebrate my life. I'm still undecided about where I want my ashes scattered. I'm not being buried though! I'd probably be dug up in four hundred years time with historians claiming that I'm Lord Lucan! :mmm:

Has anyone got any special requests in their will for their funeral? Ashes scattered at Anfield/Old Trafford/St Andrews? A personal appearance by B*Witched? Kerry Katona to make a speech? :(

Not sure about Kerry, she might get the ashes mixed up with other powdery substances ;)

I want mine behind the Kop at Anfield

I have only one request so far, told the wife I want to be crematated. Don't like the thought of being eaten by worms etc, even though I am a firm believer of 'you live, you die' ie no afterlife..

Will start a list though, this thread has inspired me to sort my life celebration. Don't want it called a funeral.

I was at a funeral today (no not that one) in Harlow, Essex

At the end of the service they played Hawkwind , Silver Machine which was a great send off, except the volume was on about 4 not 11

If its worth doing, its worth doing properly

Pretty much the same as Murph. Not too fussed, along as my family are happy.
If I'm healthy at the time, any/all my organs to be put on the organ donor list. After the butchers are done then cremate the rest and spread into the wind.

Just drop me off the Millport ferry and let the fishes eat away. Again when your dead your dead.

Whatever is cheap -I can't stand the thought that my family have to pay stupid amounts of mo ey to feed me to worms or the Bunsen burner. They can spend some money on a party though
How much do cardboard boxes cost, and will they bury you in one ?

I had a mate who died of Leukemia in his 30's who wanted to be buried in a cardboard box. He also hoped it would bucket it down on the day, to see us struggle with him. :)

He had a great sense of humour, RIP Adam.

Nothing morbid for me.

I want bright colours, bob Marley ringing out to make it chilled out. Quick bit if burning and scatter my ashes somewhere of the family's choosing as long as its not at Ewood park while Venkys are in charge!

Coffins got to be done in Rovers colours, and I want the Mrs to deck the kids out in Rovers kits anyone that wears black to be refused entry. After party full of music & karaoke with all ballads being banned from singing. I want don't want a wake I want a party to celebrate the good memories of who I was and not some morbid trip down memory lane.

Don't want to skint the wife by her paying for it so that will be done by my savings so she can have the rest.

aslong as theres enough in the kitty for a modest send off and a few bob behind the bar for close friends & family then I'm not too bothered.

Just play me out to 'You'll never walk alone' then let the rest of the day be one of celebration :thup:
