Is it normal i want a really elaborate, potentially illegal funeral?

I've decided that when I die, I want the money that would otherwise be used for my burial to be used to fund a party on a cruise ship. I want my body to be sneaked aboard that ship, and I want to be laid out on a chair in the sun, naked save for a leopard-print thong, and maybe a pair of sun glasses. Everyone will dance, drink, and have fun, and on the night of my funeral-party, the guests are to dress me in a bikini (I'm male), cement a cowboy hat onto my head, and attach as many helium balloons to my corpse as necessary to make it fly away. If I'm lucky, the balloons will eventually pop and when I land, I'll fall through someone's roof.

    Funerals are for the living. They can do with me whatever they want. I'll be dead, I won't care.

      Exactly, I never understood an elaborate funeral. I've also never witnessed a funeral where the deceased thanked everyone for coming and appreciated all the condolences.

        It's for the living to greve so if elaborate is what they need to make themselves feel better than thats fine. But if they are cool with throwing me in a dumpster that's fine with me also. I just mean that I don't wish to dictate how the living should grieve after my death, so I don't see the point of personally planning it.

        Have you ever been to a funeral with angry Puerto Ricans yelling and cursing at everyone for not being there for their dead junkie son/brother followed by them going in the back and eating all the food?

        Upon leaving that funeral, I heard on the radio that amy winehouse had been found dead. It was very fitting at the time.

          Honestly, I can't say I have.
          I sincerely want no one to grieve or be unhappy at my whatever it will be. Money is set aside for a blow out celebration of my life, not for mourning my passing.

            It's about the most ghetto experience I've ever had.

            I don't want a big sob session when I die either. I don't want people crying over my dead body.

              I plan on hiring people to come into my funeral with a big dog and pony show, crying and screaming and just collapsing with grief.

              It's gonna be great. Did you want an invite?

            Be thankful. You familiar with tent city? Well, the other half of the attendees were residents of there. Very classy.

    Well, I can almost guarantee that will never happen. Who wants to be on a party boat with a dead person aboard? Would be awkward as fuck!!

    I've heard of funeral parties, where the lucky recipient is sacrificed to the Sun god when the party reaches a frenzied pitch.

        Although barbaric, parties back at the university never got this unruly fortunately.

    It's not normal, obviously, that's the whole point. That's a pretty cool funeral, about the most elaborate I've run across.

    But tell me, why do you care? You're dead. For all you know your trusted executor has kicked you out of the trunk of a car and into a ditch while he and his pals head for Vegas for a weekend of high rolling debauchery.

    Seems to me that these types of things are better orchestrated when you're alive and just forget about what happens at death. It clearly doesn't matter at that point.,

    Why? It's not like you will witness it happening.

      No, but those present will. My memory will live on with them.

        When I die I want them to have a ball at my funeral. I want red roses on my coffin in the middle of the room. I want a party for all my beloved friends and family members who came to see my passing. Why a ball you ask? Because I am mad and terribly old fashioned.
