I mean say goodbye to friends that have passed. It can be very theraputic and help you to get off your chest all the things you should have said before.
Apa Sherpa has already climbed Mount Everest for a record 19 times. He now aims to hold a Buddhist ceremony at the top and scatter the ashes of Edmund ...
I have quite a large book collection already and would like those to go to my sisters. I don't yet have any things that are worth alot of money but things like my diaries and letters from years ago - it would be nice if they somehow stayed in the family so that there is some history of me... sounds vain I know!
I would like a happy funeral not matter when or how I die. I would like everyone to wear bright colours and be glad that I lived and share lots of stupid stories about me. i would like lots of music and champagne and dancing. No standing around my grave crying, more leaning on the bar and laughing.
Funeral Location
I would like to be buried where my parents are buried. They are still here at time of writing!! I will consult with them and get back to you on this one... but the way things are going it might be Australia alongside a kangeroo.
My Ashes
I have not quite yet decided if I want to be cremated? If I am please don't leave my ashes on some mantle piece somewhere rotting and scaring small children... get rid of them.
If it was possible I would like them scattered in Koh Jum in Thailand where I spent alot of happy times. If you cant afford the plane fare just go somewhere pretty, on top of a hill or something, and throw me off, i will never know so dont worry too much!!
My Funeral Songs
Bill Withers -Lovely Day
Jimmy Cliff - I can see clearly now
My Funeral Hymns
I don't really like any Hymns? erm....I do like the Lord of the Dance? does that work?
Eulogies

An d no Stump jokes!!!

Poems
I like the one out of four weddings and a funeral... Do not stand by my Grave and weep.
Also a funny one by Spike Milligan
My Wake
A big party in a marquee with champagne and stupid music that you can all dance to.. fancy dress if your not all too depressed.
