That's exactly why I don't care what they play....they can play merry hell with a big stick and a basket of eggs and i won't care.

How do you know?

About this time last year Mum called in for a brew and just happened to mention that she had sorted out and paid for her funeral. Must admit it was a bit of a shock but she is getting what she wants and I don't think that is a bad thing. It isn't something you want to think about but is inevitable. Think it takes a lot of pressure off the family when the inevitable happens.

Last two funerals I went to only had 2 songs I suppose it's your choice if you want three.

Come on now, folks, what's a wake? It's what's left behind, isn't it, like the wake of a ship? So after you snuff it the party's all that's left.

Personally, I don't think that's fair and I want my wake before I go. Why should they all enjoy themselves, drinking my booze from my cupboard out of my glasses if I can't join in? I'll add that to my instructions - "Wake to be held before decease". That'll teach 'em.

I was thinking about that too Westender. I'd love to know who was going to turn up and how sad they'd be.

Does'nt ring true that.
Would you rather a party for "I'm going to snuff it next week" or
"She was a lovely lady".........let's all drink her health.

West Ender · 08-07-2008, 21:29

They'd better be very, very sad when I go, Gayle, or else............wooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

You'd better pick some really sad music then.

Who says they'll think I was lovely? And what's the point of drinking my health if I'm dead?

If you've paid for it it will go down that much better.
They will think of you as the lovely lady who paid for the ale.

Like that one

I thought that it was the job of the deceased´s nearest and dearest to pick the music. It seems a bit presuming to choose your own, especially with lovey dovey stuff.

Imagine some stuffy old aunt that everyone is patiently waiting to snuff it for all her dosh and she chooses something inappropriate. Sighs and moans all round.

My family know that I would prefer cremation as I´m scared of the dark but the music, should there be any, will be their choice. ´Love ya, Mum´ would be good!!
