I am currently working on a living will and have come to a section pertaining to how I want to be remembered. The question is: "If there is to be a memorial service for me, I wish for this service to include the following
(List music, songs, readings,etc.)". As music is a huge part of my life, this is very important to me. I would hate to be in the next life or wherever knowing that some jackass played a bunch of religious nonsense at my memorial.

So, now I am faced with creating a playlist that could potentially change the way people remember me after I'm gone...and not just friends and lovers, but parents and distant family that have only memories of me as a child. If it were just immediate family I would pick whatever, but I don't want to ruin anyone's fond memories of me by playing inappropriate music.

I'm considering a three-part set, with copies available for those who want a momento. One disc for the service (quiet, reflective, instrumentals), one for the wake (thoughtful, expressive, spoken word, etc.), and one for the after-party (more fun, upbeat, sick, irreverent- things I listen to alot).

How about you?

Don't shoot - I am a man

I told my wife Weezee that should I die,please bury me in the front yard and every Halloween have the grandkids dig me up and prop me up against a tree!!Then they can throw tomatoes or whatever at me!!Even bottles or bricks!!It would be a blast for them!!

Standing up for the dead people who can't stand up for theirselves!!!

I do not want any kind of servies for me when i cross over,  I told my kids to creamate me and if they want to each have some of my ashes thats fine. but that i feel it is hard enough on the family the day a loved one dies and that i do not want them to have to wait a few days then sit there and have to remember stuff and cry more again at my funeral.

IF WE ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION THEN WE ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM !!!
