A Irish man's dying wish was to play a recording at his funeral...

That's great. Not what I was expecting.

Didn't expect that, either...not something I would want to do, however since I will be cremated.

I love it. Going to be cremated too, but I used to think that I wanted the Dead Kennedys "Too Drunk to F#*k" as the last song at the graveside. Could be worse, my brother had 5 different versions of "I Did It My Way" played at his funeral.

That lightened the mood. Those events can be downright depressing, what with women wailing and strong men gnashing their teeth.
When I go and assuming I am not plugging up a culvert as Irrigation Superintendent, I want to be dragged to the top of the mesa nearby. Left for my friends the coyotes, ravens and magpies. There is too much meat here to let go to waste by burning or pickling and burying.

Tosh, I chuckled at too much meat comment, a good take.

Kind of sounds like what my Grandfather said he wanted. He said to shove a bone up his arse and let the dogs drag him over the hill and nature would take care of the rest. |

Being a huge ‘The Wire’ fan, I want the Pogues ‘The Body of an American’ played at mine.

Two elderly Irish drinking buddies, O’Shea and O’Donnell, are sitting at the pub musing on the end of life.
O’Donnell remarks, “Ye know, O’Shea, we’ve had great sport together for many years. It just came to moind that should it be I who happens to go first, it’d mean a great deal to me if ye’d say a few koind words at me grave.”
“That I’ll do, O’Donnell, that I’ll do,” O’Shea replied. “But should
it be I who happens to go first, I’d be forever grateful if ye’d pour
a bottle of foine Irish whiskey o’er me grave for old times sake.”
“That I’ll do, O’Shea,” said O’Donnell. “That I’ll do… but would ye
mind it too very much if it should happen to pass through me kidneys first?”

That was funny Paddy, thanks for the post!
I had heard stories of open casket funerals where the body sat up... if I remember correctly, the gases in the body caused it....that would raise a few hairs.

That perhaps I wouldn't mind, but releasing those gases at that time might be highly inappropriate. 😂 |

I actually knew a woman that had been declared dead, woke up in the morgue...lived a few more weeks and finally had her ticket punched.
The two remaining weeks she had, was quite a beneficial time for the family...made me second guess being an organ donor.

That was very nice. He was able to go his way, and still leave something for those left behind.  |
