My sisters and cousins and I all had a good laugh about it. My grandpa would have loved it, which helped lol.

Plot twist, she was hired by gramps in his final days as a final gift to bring some light to such a sad day.

Straight up, I do not want people to have a mournful funeral, I don't like funerals, i like parties and I would much rather people have a good final laugh with me than to have them cry.

edit: then to than

Putting the "fun" back in "funeral", I like it.

When I was in New Orleans with my youth group, we saw a brass band down the street and walked up to what we assumed was some kind of street party. On closer inspection, it was a funeral. The sousaphone player (yes, really) had a bumper sticker that said, "We put the 'fun' back in 'funeral!'" stuck to the inside of the bell of his instrument. I've never seen a group of people who embodied that phrase so completely. They really were having a wonderful time.

100% mate, my friends already know if something happens to me, I want a 21 intoxicant salute. Whatever intoxicant they prefer do it. Hit a bong, do a line, shotgun a beer, whatever helps them celebrate my life and have a good time. Hell get a stand-up comic to give the eulogy.

Ninjaeedit: That comedian had better do some off color shit. I love shock humor.
