Take my organs, tissues, anything that anyone might be able to use. Stop there. Keep me alive until I get to a state that doesn't require embalming.
I want a green funeral. I want a party to decorate my biodegradable casket. I want everyone to write silly things on it with a Sharpie like you do on an empty PBR box every time I go into the hospital. I want it to be fun and happy. Remember the good times we've had, because there have been a lot! I want music played.... LOUDLY. You all know what I like. I want A LOT of people there. Take over the Melody Inn, unless they refuse to let Danny in. Tell Rob and Dave it's my final request. Give me a great send-off!
Trust me, I will be haunting everyone. I will be in your dreams, and you'll see me out of the corner of your eye... I'll be looking out for all of you.
Have a benefit show... one show will cover the price of a green funeral, unlike some of our other friends. Does Jason even have a headstone yet?
So why would I be so insistent about having a green funerals? That is perfect for me. I want to make the most positive impact I can in my death, as I strive to in life. Quit laughing!
If I should die before I wake....

I would love to have a green funeral. I'd even be happy without the casket-just compost me after the hoopla settles down, and please recycle the already-recycled box you've been storing me in for the past few days. I always liked the idea of being planted into something, especially a tree.
I'd heard of green funerals before, but hadn't given it much thought. I was channel surfing one night and caught a story about it on, oddly enough, the weather channel! I fell in love with the idea. I would have to have the casket though- it's just a box anyway. My friends are all artists in some form or fashion. Well, I suppose they could just line me with a bunch of empty signed PBR boxes.... That seems to be somehow tradition at this point for me anyway.

Sounds like my kind of funeral. I really don't get why we make death such a bad thing. I've never talked to a single person that actually wanted everyone bawling their eyes out and having an all together crappy time at their funeral. Yet this always seems to be the case. Let it be fun, enjoyable, and HEALTHY!
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
I know, that does sound like my kind of funeral- helping the planet and music, two great joys of mine.....:)
