And we are too.<br />I don't know if you bothered to look at the John Cleese clip of an eulogy he gave but it's very funny and real.

I would definitely not have a football song at my funeral but I would like a song called the Long Journey Home that I have had earmarked for a while. <br /><br />I am not sure I would even like a service i would just like to slip away quietly without any fanfare. Yep, the more I htink of it they can just throw me overboard somewhere - now what about the burial versus cremation. There is another issue as well.<br /><br />Something we all need to think about though. And I love some humor in any situation. I think when it happens my dads funeral will be like that. such a funny man who loves a laugh.Lillynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-85139577088676006052010-10-19T19:58:58.645-05:002010-10-19T19:58:58.645-05:00Hey thanks

I know a family in Dublin who were very annoyed because the priest wouldn't let them have a singer in the church to sing "Love is all I have to give" at their mother's funeral. That's an old Engelbert Humperdinck hit (sixties I think - British - do you know of him?) "Secular music not allowed" was the mantra. So her son bought a cassette player into the graveyard and "blared it right out" (those were his very words) as the coffin was lowered into the grave. Everyone was hay enough with that.gaelikaahttp://greatttt.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/tttmw/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-10371418004214633242010-10-13T23:07:56.761-05:002010-10-13T23:07:56.761-05:00I've always liked Spike Milligan's epitaph...I've always liked Spike Milligan's epitaph, it's in Irish on his headstone but it translates as "I told you I was ill." A recording of Harry Secombe singing was played at his memorial service, Spike had said when Harry died "I'm glad he died before me, because I didn't want him to sing at my funeral."<br /><br />My Grandma is 99 and has been very ill recently, it seems likely there'll be a funeral in our family very soon. It's been more than 20 years since any of my close family have died, I'm really not sure how we "do" funerals exactly but I'm quite sure we'll be celebrating her life one way or another.mimbleshttp://mimbles.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29376160.post-54057279843348313402010-10-13T22:56:54.628-05:002010-10-13T22:56:54.628-05:00I never heard of playing a sports theme song at a ...I never heard of playing a sports theme song at a funeral.

Sure there are tears and broken hearts but we celebrate just as we did when our loved one was living. <br /><br />My family already knows what I want when I die....forget the funeral.
