Following on from Leg's 'Have You Seen A Dead Body' thread and just to keep up with the macabre theme - which 3 qualities would you most like to be described as having in your obit and which do you fear more likely to appear?
I think I'd like to be seen as :
1. Compassionate
2. Tough
3 With an ability to laugh at life
I fear I'm more likely to be described as an:
1. Insensitive
2. Whingeing
3. Smartarse
Over to you.

Mine? On my ashes urn I want 'I Thank Whoever It's Over'. People can write what they want about me 'cos I won't know, but I hope someone mentions that I have had a useful working life. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

When my life is over and my time has come to pass,
I hope they bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ****!0 -
when my time comes..

but may be better times to come.0 -
Hmmm i think i will have that old chestnut ' Told you i was ill'
what song would everyone have played??? would you go the cheesy route or have a meaningful song played? oh and buried or cremated?0 -
We've left instructions for no music or words, let's just get it done and dusted and have a party after. At my Pa's cremation my Ma decided against singing (there is very little worse than a warbly, wobbly congregation) and everyone read the Lord is my Shepherd as it was a favourite psalm of the departed. I can still remember the wall of sound that rolled towards us. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

i would like everyone to have a drink and remember the laughs we had all had,would also rather a tree was planted in my memory than have a load of flowers which would die within a few days,what a lovely morbid topic...love it0
-
I'd like mine to read;
Dizzy Old Bird,should've been born blonde! :-)
but more than likely it will be;
blimey, she did like a good old moan!
for music at my funeral I'd like them to play
Clarence "Frogman" Henry's version of "But I do"
or
In Constant Sorrow by The Soggy Bottom Boys

I would like my obituary to be an apology that they had got the wrong person. :?:''Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy''. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)0

I have thought about this quite a bit Sticky and I really don't want a funeral - atotal waste of everyones time and money! but if I have to have one I think it would be along the lines of DD for warious reasons but partly because I love music and don't wan the feeble murmerings I have heared at some funerals. But I think I would like the curtain to close to The Loony Tunes.0
-
I would like:
Kind
Helpful
Funny
I fear I would get:
Nosy
Interfering
Drunkard
My choice of tune would be from the old T.V. programme "Not only but also" Peter Cooke and Dudley Moore singing " Now is the time to say goodbye"
Yield it, Yield it!

It was the salmon mousse.
I'm pretty sure something I eat will get me one day!

Got so many songs you wouldn't believe but thats another thread
I think it would have to be
Nothing is ever achieved without enthusiasm ( lived by this most of my life).
But due to arthritis stopping me in my tracks who knows! I helped others achieve instead.
So perhaps it was meant to be.Ruby0 -

Oh oh! Rehab is right. The word he used was the correct anatomical term. I'm sure he would have been able to supply several slang, and intentionally offensive, terms for the body part in question but this was not one of them.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
Steven Wright0 -
Ah Cris
such good songs that mean a lot. ((T))Ruby0 -
Ha ha Tilly ...not been around much due to decorators.
Will read back.. but please elaborate!

I do find it odd that anatomical names are so offensive to some people, a tad Victorian don't you think?
No worries. I should have made sure I got your name right. However, if you really feel the need to apologise I'll have a nice Islay pleaseIf at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

They would probably put
Hope heaven is tidy cause she hates untidy drawers and hope has got her own bathroom
but I hope they would put
Loving wife and mum
we shall miss her smile0
