A good friend of mine who passed planned her funeral party and she wanted it to be fun, not as much fun if she was still there but still fun. Before her passing, she was terminal, she would threaten us with taking our names off the list if we pissed her off. It was a great party!Haraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263065017109894464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-78746008666036211432016-10-30T23:51:40.979+08:002016-10-30T23:51:40.979+08:00This sounds like a unique funeral that will have p...This sounds like a unique funeral that will have people talking for a period of time. After dealing with funerals, I'm sure your family has an idea of what you want at yours. <br />I personally don't see that expense is worth spending because it's not going to bring me back, and I don't want to see my family going into debt just to create a fancy ceremony that I physically couldn't enjoy to start with. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this with us on the #FridayFriolity party. We hope to see you next Thursday at 9pm EST.

But practically, doing what you say is going to take so much pressure off who ever is left behind, they don't want to be making these sorts of decisions. Also they don't usually have much time to plan and think about it.

And I love the idea of a cardboard coffin - I would also have mine decorated with flowers. But it did get me thinking of my husband's developmentally disabled brother. Sadly, one day, we may be making decisions about his funeral. Shouldn't he have some input in it? I honestly hadn't thought of that up to now.
