I always thought it would be hilarious to make a crowd of mourners sit and listen all the way through to Sister Ray by the Velvet Underground.

I've always thought funerals should be more festive. They're always so damn depressing. We should celebrate someone being freed form this miserable life, not sob over it. Put a Hawaiian shirt on the dead guy, stand him up in the corner and put a beer in his hand, ferfuksake.

Yep! Always liked the idea of a Norseman's funeral, too. Tie my corpse to the mast with a Mai Tai in my hand amid a few gallons of moonshine and black powder and take turns shooting a flare gun at my sorry ass... The fish can have what's left over.

Didn't Hunter S. Thompson have his ashes loaded in to some pyrotechnic mortar shells that were launched at his wake?

I think you will find that the tears shed at funerals are for the survivors out of regret for the things they never said to the deceased but wished they had.

Funerals aren't for the dead.
