Your Funeral

[Spicy McHaggis]

What do you think would be said about you at your funeral?

What do you want people to say about you?

 

[MrsGnomeCrusher]

A bunch of sugar-coated, feel-good type stuff to make everyone else feel good. A bunch of people who pretend they knew me will say all the stuff that they're "suppose" to say.

What do I want them so say about me? I honestly could care less what they say!

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

I want my funeral to be a BBQ. And I want my cremated ashes to be in the charcoal, and then I want someone to say "iklepac will always be with you..."

I don't know what they would say, but I want them to say "That guy wasn't governed by fear."

 

[renaistre]

It's corny, but I can't resist:

I want them to say: "Look, he's waking up!"

Dude, that's both funnay,

and deep (on a spiritual level I mean).

 

[caitlincares]

I do not really care what they say.

It seems silly to say wonderful things about someone after they are gone.

On my living will I suggested a singspiration service rather than a funeral service.

I always liked those growing up.

..kinda morbid if you ask me...

ok for me I think it would be "that chick was hot!"
umm dunno...I think it would be that I had somehow impacted someone's life...quien sabe...

At least she went peacefully in her sleep instead of screaming like everyone else in the car. (j/k- I know, pretty lame but I couldn't help myself!) I'm always running late so some crack will probably be made about me being on time for once in my life. *rollseyes*

What I want said...I don't know. Hopefully it will be a celebration and not a time of mourning since I'll finally be home. I hope that people can look back over my life and see that my ultimate goal in life was to bring glory to God and introduce every body around me to the awesome relationship with Him that's available to us. (I know that sounds super-spiritual which I usually try to stay away from, but it's the truth.) I'd also like people to be able to say that I was real and sincere in everything I did and said and not some fake, plastic person that just says and does whatever they think people want to hear. Finally, no matter what I encountered through out life I always managed to soar above it all with the eagles. (Isaiah 40:31)

Maybe I ought to just go ahead and have my memorial service written out ahead of time?! Okay...I've never given that much thought to my death before, think I'll stop now. Kind of creepy.

I want the truth spoken about my life, not a bunch of lies about what I wasn't. I want country music played (mainly a BlackHawk song that I think is pretty fitting when it comes to me.) I want my funeral to be a celebration of my life, nothing else.

 

[kelco]

BIG BIG party.......Don't care one way or the other what they say cuz I'm gonna be too busy rejoicing with the Lord to care!

I wrote this a few years ago. Part testimony. Someone can read it when Im gone.

[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]REMEMBER ME[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow](my own epitath)[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Dear lover, partner, brother, sister, co-heir.[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Please remember me to those I met as I passed through there.[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]To those who knew the flesh and bones contained in my first life, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]who saw me fight for love or [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]pride with fist and bat and knife, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]tell them that I ask for their forgiveness, and that I forgive.[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Tell [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]them there is no peace, no hope, the way in which they live. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]To those who saw my endless [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]struggle and repetitive fall, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]tell them, all of my own strength was worth nothing at all. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]I fought[/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow] and struggled, then fought some more until I died one day, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]then as I lay in rotting sin grace [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]came and made a way.[/font]


[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]To those who met me reborn, once risen born again,[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]who witnessed the miraculous change, the healing of my pain, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]tell them their prayers were [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]chords of love, their fellowship divine, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]they reached out from the Fathers heart, who bound his [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]own to mine. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]To those who saw me pressing on and fighting the good fight, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]tell them my victory, [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]my every step, was all in Gods own might. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]To those who received love from me, and who maybe [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]loved me too, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]tell them it was no part of me but Jesus shining through.[/font]


[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Now see my flesh and bones are dead, laid like an empty shell, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]but the soul that was the life of [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]me is saved from flames of hell. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]Grace and mercy were bestowed on me, so that I could enter [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]there,[/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]That you would know this same love too is my resounding prayer. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]So as I say goodbye for now [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]my prayer is that you will not mourn, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]for this very day I am awakening into eternities new dawn. [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]All mysteries have been made known, of pain and fear no trace, [/font]
[font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]and so I bow before the Fathers [/font][font=Arial,Helvetica,adobe-helvetica,Arial Narrow]throne, within the Sons embrace.[/font]​

Aw man, I don't even know you and I'm going to cry at your funeral.

 

[JPPT1974]

Nothing big or fancy just plain and simple. That I put every ounce of my being. Not on self. But for very important people and things that I cared about and put first and foremost. The Lord, my family, and the world.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

not for nothing, but one might overhear

"See, I told you the human body couldn't produce enough insulin to digest that many marshmallow peeps..."

at mine.

 

[caitlincares]

Now what gal would not like to go out with a funny guy like you.

Let's hope and pray for your sake as well as your family's sake that never, ever happens at your funeral.

 

[Spicy McHaggis]

Yeah, I put the "fun" in FUNeral.

 

[chickenfeet]

i dunno what they'd say.. but if there were any cry-babies.. i'd want them escorted out..not especially fond of cheese.

death should be a celebration.

 

[Ginsu]

Watch this, I'll be just some white cross with no funeral after WW III.
