Our Uncle died recently and we want to make his funeral memorable, any ideas?

We were thinking of having a nice christian ceramony with our minister giving a prayer and decorating the capsule with purple velvet with a back stage drop with his name. Water mist would be sprayed on the flowers all around the capsule and we will inject his body with illumination to give color to his skin for more warmth and complexion. We are going to engrave his capsule with his name and before he is laid to rest we will have a band play his favorite song "Misty river". God Bless Him and In the name OF JESUS! YOUR IDEAS ARE WELCOMED...

If I was the deceased, I would be really pissed you wasted all that money.



Throw him in a dumpster and spend the money to party all weekend. You'll all enjoy it much more than that depressing crap you suggest.
Reply:Thanks.



Well, okay, but that seems like a waste of money. If you toss him in a dumpster, someone else will pay to dispose of him. Your choice. :-) Report It
Reply:This is what I want at my funeral:

bourbon, clowns, and one of those guys that makes ballon animals for the kids.
Reply:Wait until the last minute to put him in the coffin.Prop him up in a chair by the door,like a Wal-Mart greeter.He can hand out the programs.
Reply:sounds like u already have a good plan. u could do a web sight a tribute to the man he was.

will be praying for u all.
Reply:What you could do is go with your idea+ a couple of mines. Get him a site about who he was and what he accomplished during his life. Invite the visitors of the site to attend the funeral. Maybe hundreds will come, who knows. That would be memorable. I would like a couple of hundred people at my own funeral, for real. Hope I've helped you even a little bit.

Cheers!
Reply:have a theme of something he loved. For example a friend of my uncle was from Hawaii so the family had everyone who attended dress in hawaiian shirts. My bosses sister's memorial service was held in a room at her husband's brewpub. Thats how I wanna go.
Reply:You pretty much have it all covered. I am going to hire a bagpipe player for my Dad's funeral. He died a couple months ago but I'm going to spread his ashes on his parent's grave while Amazing Grace is being played.
Reply:I guess strippers, an open bar, commemorative tattoos, and a funeral pyre are out of the question?
Reply:It sounds like you have it all covered.
