I don't want one. I don't think i'd even want a gravestone, I just would want a natural return to the earth, ashes spread in an old forest. Peaceful, and earthy. Funerals are just so plain and uninspiring, I suppose. PLUS, it costs the family alot. Too much hassle.

    I don't want a funeral either. I don't want people lookin at me when I'm dead. I want to be cremated and ashes spread wherever. I totally agree with you. I don't judge what other people wish to do, this is just what I want for myself.

    Funerals are ridiculous and I don't want anyone remembering me that way. Years ago I signed the paperwork that allows my body to be shipped to the body farm after death. If you don't know about the body farm...google it.

    Funerals are a waste of time and money... besides, they just make your family more sad.

    Hmmm, food for thought, having read this I can't say I really want one either, but if ppl want to have a piss up in my honour I can't say I'd mind!!

    I personally want a burial at sea for me, it's cheaper than a regular funeral.

    I don't want a funeral either. Cremate me. Take a little boat and toss me into the ocean. Or just go to the beach and when a big wave comes, toss me there. I dont want a big fuss. Funerals are really for the living anyway. Some People need to say goodbye and have closure. When it's over they can go home or whatever.

    My dad died 10 years ago, and he did not want a funeral either. He said he did not want to be mourned. But the way I saw it at the time, I was going to mourn him whether we had a funeral or not. And since it was my decision (I took care of him for 17 years) I decided to have a funeral. Maybe I should have respected his wishes, but when you think about it, funerals are for the living. So they can get closure. Granted they don't have to be so sad and morbid, its true. It sounds to me like you wound be more comfortable with a "Life Celebration". It's a lot more positive, focusing on the person's life rather than death.
