What ONE word would You want people to say about You in your Eulogy at Funeral ?

Dead..........

I don't care how I'm remembered...and that's the truth. But if I cared...I suppose rational would be nice.

If someone said is was; giving, kind, humble, friendly, generous, gentlemanly, forgiving....

Any relative in attendance would burst out laughing. In fact, that's not a bad idea. Causing an audience to burst out laughing, at my funeral....is a worthwhile pursuit, I think.

I don't want a funeral or memorial service or eulogy. In my family, we get cremated. After my mother died, we were all at my house for awhile and that's it. Adios. I want mine the same way she wanted hers. No maudlin memorial service where people feel obliged to say nice things. No grotesque funeral where you lay rotting in the cold ground.

eulogy

then they would all know for sure they are indeed superior to me

plenty of time before i need google it, i hope

Sensuous...

Not one word but ..

There is a gravestone here in the UK with the inscription:

Here lies Clive who is no linger alive.
There is a great deal to be said, about being dead.

Always liked that.

Couldn't be adapted to my name, but Claude's is close.

Chinese Government Cracks Down On Funeral Strippers

I always tell my wife that I want to be wired up to a player piano playing renditions of 80's hair metal. She thinks I'm joking. I'm not sure that I am.

"Broke"

That way, my six kids would have nothing to fight over they could start a fight in an empty room...

Three guesses what I'd wanna be called?

Well, this won't happen because I will be cremated also - but if I was actually in a coffin and someone was doing a Eulogy, about the best thing I can think of is to have them look into the coffin and say "um...hey wait a minute -- that's not Sal".

My Mom's Celebration of Life was yesterday.
She passed about a month ago and was cremated.
A few people got up and told brief stories about their
experiences with her.

One of my cousins said she "had balls".
It brought a good laugh.

Hearing the different stories was fascinating.
Things she did or said that I never imagined
were part of her.

Thank you all very much for the condolences.

I'm posting what I am about to say because I found it true and very helpful
to know. I hope others benefit knowing this about the grieving experience.

During my years as a courier, I listened to Dr. Laura a lot. She pointed out
that people go through the grieving process, even though they've ended
relationships with people who are still living.

Mom was 89 and had Alzheimer's, so that kind of, sort of applied. You see
the inevitable coming and want peace.

That aspect of knowing how grieving can work applies in regard to my dad
(still living). I ended that relationship years ago and wish I did not wait so
long. Life has been much, much better without being exposed to the bad
aspects and impacts of that relationship. Understanding that I already
grieved brings a kind of tranquility, eased the guilt of not caring, and
helped when I get flack from my siblings for not caring anymore.

Thank you all again for the condolences, and sorry for getting so heavy.

I want fair and "had balls" equally.

Jeez, Dan - no need to apologize for being human. Just glad to see you're back and doing okay.
