Your Obituary

stickywicket

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. DD

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 ****!

georgie66

when my time comes..
they can write.
she has loved
she has lost
had good time and bad
but may be better times to come.

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?

dreamdaisy

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. DD

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 it

JuliaHod12

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. :?:

lululu

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.

Numptydumpty

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!

music will be manic street preachers Design for life and
Try a little tenderness Otis Redding.

I'd like my obituary to read "Savior of the world", but I'd settle for "Mauled to death drawing a [text edited] on forehead of sleeping Lion."

OK I was just going to let this thread run without comment but I can't resist asking which is most likely?

ruby2

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.

skezier

I have already written mine.... don;t want someone who doesn;t know me saying some thing wrong.

Music got that all planned as well.... going to have Faithless's God is a DJ and Insomnia though the music might change as I hear something else thats so good Cris x

lindalegs

I would like mine to read

"She gave everything in life her best shot."

Luv,

tillytop

"she got what she wanted".

dreamdaisy

Tilly? ((((((())))))) DD

stickywicket

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.

ruby2

Ah Cris
such good songs that mean a lot. ((T))

ruby2

Ha ha Tilly ...not been around much due to decorators.
Will read back.. but please elaborate!

I assume you are addressing me? So you found the word and the context in which it was posted offensive? I assume you would have preferred Willie, which in the context of the post would have meant the same?
I do find it odd that anatomical names are so offensive to some people, a tad Victorian don't you think?

Sorry about my response there Sticky I got confused with the Rehab name and thought someone was having a pop at me, which means I should read the post carefully so big apologies for my rudeness

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 please

julie47

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 smile
