A radio show I regularly listen to does a list every week in which they (and listeners) make up a list of top five <insert topic here>. The topics have ranged from top five candies to top five scary dreams and so on.
This week was “Top Five Things I Want At My Funeral” and I though it might be a fun weekend post for us to have. To get us started, my top five was as follows:
#5 No crying. I don’t want people to be sad, I want them to remember me with smiles and think of the good times.
#4 Monty Python quote off contest. The winner gets to deliver a short eulogy about me.
#3: A sundae bar.. Ice cream makes people happy
#2: Having someone read the funeral speech from Star Trek II
#1: This one requires a bit of explanation.
A sum of money will be left with a trusted friend to hire a B or C list celebrity (someone who people will recognize but also someone who needs work).
The celebrity is to come to my funeral, weep as if they have lost their dearest friend and then leave without speaking to anyone.
The others are left to wonder how I knew them and why they were so devastated by the loss.
