What About Your Corpse?

I hear that, Drediock. It seems such a sad waste to spend a ton of money on some fancy funeral.

 nor do I want my body to be manhandled into a tux. Just throw me in a cheap box and bury me as I am. If I'm naked, throw me in some jeans and a t-shirt or something,

Yup I feel exactly the same way
I'd rather not have a viewing. And I've sworn I will come back and haunt in a very nasty way anyone who tries getting me all dressed up.
Nobody at any price was able to get me into a suit and tie in life.
And it was the rare day anyone saw me in even "dress casual" clothes.
I typically hate getting all dressed up in life. Why would I want to spend eternity that way?

If you absolutely must have a viewing. I dont want ot be laid out in a box.
Prop me up in a chair. With a beer mug full of beer in my hand and a watermelon eating grin on my face. Place a keg of beer next to me and have one last one with me.

Went to a funeral the other day.  Traditional, service in chapel, cemetery next to it.  Another long cancer struggle.  

This was a bit unusual in how meticulously the woman planned her service down to the tiniest detail.  Worked two years on her funeral, according to family.

I guess i'd like a traditional funeral, nothing fancy.  I'd bet my bottom dollar that whoever eulogizes me is gonna say, "man, that Mike sure loved to fly", and then something corny along the lines of "he's flying right now" lmao.

Seriously though, there is a poem I would like to have read at my funeral

"Miss me, but let me go".

"

When I come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me...
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that we once shared
Miss me but let me go.
For this is a journey we all must take,
But I’ll not be alone.

It’s all a part of the Master’s plan;
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO"
