Preplanning funerals
Morbid subject i know, but after my Mum's funeral, where we all pretty well knew what she wanted and just how much easier (if it can be at such a time) it was for us to give her what she wanted as a farewell, i have been slowly gathering things i want at my funeral, and no i am definately not in a hurry.
We have a family coffin style, so i'll keep with tradition there, though i would like it lined in pale blue, not white. Though that is not set in stone, not sure i'll be able to see it anyway down there *L*
Do not bury me in a dress!! Track dacks, tshirt and a jumper will be fine, i am NOT spending eternity in uncomfortable clothes! Ugg boots would be good for me feet *L*
I better have makeup, and it better be done well. Just enough to give me some colour, but i dont wanna look like satans whore! So someone best check i look ok *L*
A pre paid mobile phone is to go in with me, cause by geez if they stuff up and i aint dead, i want a way out!! Oh and please check it has service 6ft down!
Pics of my family and friends. Pics of my pets. My Orli bear which is my fav, he needs to be in there too. Something Lord of the Rings too needs to go swords or such would be good. I'll make the archeologists of the future stop and ponder the warrior with the toy bear *LOL*
In the church one song i'd like is "Stairway To Heaven"
As i'm being wheeled out of the church and as i am being buried i want "Bella's Lullaby" from Twilight playing! That is a must!!
Most of all i want people to be happy that i lived and they were part of my life, not sad because i'm gone!!
Anyone else had thoughts or have an idea of what you would like?

I think I've decided to be cremated. I know Mr. Lil has chosen that. We have a family internment/mausoleum but I think I'd prefer to be scattered in Italy.

Yeah i tossed up being cremated too. Mum was. She kept telling us she wanted to be, she was a severe claustrophobic, so the thought of waking up in a coffin gave her nightmares, and she didnt want to see the worms coming!
But i prefer baffling the archeologists in year to come *L*..My last laugh *L*

"Italy"?!?! 
Things are tight right now. How about we just keep your ashes in a Chef Boyardee Ravioli can on the mantle?

This isn't a local recession. I know things are "on the pinch" down there too. How about a string and tin can? You won't have to worry about the battery that way.

I just want a pipe to the surface so friends can pour ice water down to me. 
This is a serious topic that WILL be dealt with WITHOUT exception. Like you, I think I should be the one to state what I would like done. After having to assist a couple stunned family who are not at their reasoning best for the moment, it is also a burden I don't want to leave the people I care about.
There is a box that both my kids know of, with instructions, contact numbers, notification list and receipts.
For my remains, they will be shown in a 'rented' casket for one day so my friends can talk about how much better I was, than I was, and my adversaries can discuss the opposite. There is an envelope of letters and papers and seven "it's a boy/girl" cigars that will be in my pocket. There will NOT be a shawl over my legs.
The flag will be given to my son and my service ring to my daughter. I'll be escorted to the crematorium rather than to a cemetery, in a black hearse.
Twenty two days later, the ashes will be spread at the same remote location where our dogs ashes are and an inscribed brass marker will be driven into the ground to a prescribed depth by only the family.

Don't have everything planned out but have said for a long time that I want my casket wheeled in five minutes after the service started so I could be late to my own funeral.

No doubt your mother assured you that would be the case.
It's a task I know I should tend to, just haven't made it there yet. Having seen both sides now, I KNOW it's something everyone should be required to do, at least if you really love the ones you leave behind. My father bought one of the pre-paid plans years before the time of need, & it was a great relief 2x over not to have to debate the details (& chuck up the cash) at a time when my head would not have been up for the task. OTOH, my FIL was content to be King of Denial, which meant I watched the 3-hour black comedy event of the season when MIL passed unexpectedly back in Jan. SIL was insisting on only the best for her mama, while the King of Scots (FIL) kept leaning back towards the cheap boxes as if drawn by magnetism. (Trust me, it was a lot funnier than it sounds, wish I'd snuck a hidden cam in, I'd have a YouTube hit)
Now I'm just back to trying to put the fun back in "dysfunctional family unit"...pray for me, if you're the kind who thinks it helps, or just wish me well on keeping my justified homicidal tendencies under control...

Cremation, I've picked the soundtrack.

I told my wife(yrs ago)to have me cremated,have someone start my chopper
(motorcycle) & pour my ashes in the gastank & blow me out the exhaust!
I'll be dead,so who cares? Irish
P.S.With my Luck,my ashes will clog up the carbuerator jets & I'll have to put up with someone else ruining my bike!
