Death Movies at Memorial Services . . . .

To satisfy curiosity, movies with death themes could be shown at memorial services or during the days before and immedeately following a funeral. A list of such movies, in my opinion, would include: Sixth Sense What Dreams May Come Ghost Death Becomes Her Stir of Echos Flatliners Dead Again There... Sign in to see full entry.

The kit would include everything you need for the funeral of one person, things such as embalming chemicals, a make-up kit, basic tools for reconstruction and embalming, and a nice suit for dressing the deceased.

T-Shirt Funeral . . . .

We overdress for funerals. Mourning or, depending on the relationship with the deceased, celebrating, should be comfortable. Jeans and T-Shirts should be the norm at funerals. And, to make it even more interesting, have t-shirts with pictures of the deceased on the front, and/or sayings, such as:... Sign in to see full entry.

Confuse the Archaeologists!

During open casket viewings, people should throw small, durable objects into the casket, objects that will confuse the archaeologists who, in the distant future, will dig up the grave and study us from what they find.

How much do you really know about the deceased?

At the memorial sevice or during the viewing, one could set up a game similar to Jeopardy, with three funeral guests to see how much they really know about the deceased.

This would be popular with all, not just the children. The Mexican hat dance could be performed with one of the deceased's favorite hats.... Sign in to see full entry.

Funerals for drunks . . . . .

About a funeral flambe for drunks? That's right, fill their body cavities with whiskey, embalm them with whiskey (151 proof is good!), then fill the casket with whiskey. Place the casket outside on an empty lot or empty parking lot, then toss a match into it from afar, better to use a fuse! Then... Sign in to see full entry.

Asleep?

In one shot of Ex-President Bill Clinton during the services at the National Cathedral, it lookd as if he were asleep. Perhaps it was not sleep, but deep prayer? Or, since there seemed to be a slight grin on his lips, could he have been fantacizing certain acts? That's one of the nice things about a... Sign in to see full entry.
