a cheap simple funeral for me in a church, just family to attend, buried in our local cemetery

I’m already signed up for a funeral plan. As simple as possible.

I would like to be cremated so that the family will never feel under an obligation to visit my grave. I shall leave the actual planning to them but have said many times that I don't want a lot of money to be spent, though I did once think it would be nice to have a walking jazz band. I would like to go through the curtain to the voice of Edith Piaff singing "No regrets".

I know my Lair number! In beside my husband in the town where I live. The Coop arranged his funeral and I hope they will do me the same honour.. Let the children and grand children enjoy a big meal and each others company for a while and reflect on the fact that they know I love them...

I don't want money to be wasted on my funeral, cheap as chips for me is what I would want my family to do with my blessing and none of this worry about catering for people. I'd like to think that people would rally round and take the load off my immediate family at such a time but most of all I hope it's way off!

I haven't thought too much about my funeral yet

I'd like a simple, short ceremony - a celebratory farewell - I'm sure I won't be far away!
A wicker casket would be ideal - I like the idea of returning to the earth & my body being of some use in a natural sense - I'll have no use for it!
I'd love there to be a party after - where all my favourite upbeat tunes are played & my family can enjoy being together & hold each other that bit dearer.
Life is short.

Cheap and as simple as possible! Time for the kids to think of the good time with their family and friends.

I want the cheapest possible cremation and my ashes can be scattered anywhere they like I don't want a shrine.
I'd like everyone to have a nice day reminiscing about the good times we had together rather than being sad.

I would like a cheap woodland burial in a cardboard coffin. No frills, no service, plan and simple.

Cheap as possible I dont hold with all these christian routines as I dont go to church in life so dont want it in death, just get me to the crem, and then scatter the ashes afterwards. Remember I am dead I dont care as long as my family have no bills to pay thats me happy

Having already dispatched both parents, I've started to give some thought towards my own...
Much rather have folk laughing and enjoying the get together than crying, so plan a bit of a knees up. I fancy the idea of writing my own eulogy telling them how much I've enjoyed my life and knowing them. Starting to think about some songs - Monkee's I'm a Believer springs to mind, but open to suggestions at this point!

I've been very specific about my funeral-as I'm Scottish it is to be very personal to me. Everyone is to come with some kind of Tartan on. No one on black, rather in blue. Nobody sad-I am a joker in real life and wish to be reminded like this after my passing.
My entrance music is "Walk 500 miles" by the Proclaimers as that's my journey to Heaven-then as the curtain closes at the service, everyone to leave singing "Flower of Scotland"....make me very proud

To be honest I have alraedy told my wife that when i die she can put me in a dustbin. When you are dead I personally don't see the need for a

I also would like a cardboard box for a coffin, it seams a waste to burn nice wood. No really bothered about a religious service, but before I am cremated I would like them to play Ring of Fire, give everyone a smile hopefully

I would like to be cremated and my ashes to be buried under a tree so in some way I am still alive and part of nature!

A no frills/no fuss/no religion/no weeping/no dressing in black service. I want to be cremated, as I hate being cold. Monty Python's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life to be played and I want everybody to join in singing my farewell. Then everyone goes off for a few dinks and nibbles afterwards, where my life is to be celebrated (not my loss mourned) and my stupid/silly deeds over the years laughed at. Then I want my ashes to be scattered in my favourite holiday destination, where I have holidayed since I was a child and have wonderful memories of.

i , personally, dont believe in funerals, why bother when the person is already dead, its so hypcritical, i want no wake, no flowers and no vicar as i am not religious

I haven't planned for my funeral yet as I feel I'm too young. But death comes to us all and at different ages. I may die tomorrow or in another 40 years. I keep meaning to get some sort of plan in place for both myself and my husband. But 'life' gets in the way.

I want my family to do whatever gives them peace and closure. A simple ceremony, a few flowers and some favourite songs followed by a good party should suffice.

They can do anything they want with me as long as I'm not cremated ... I'm terrified of fire. Something cheap and something cheerful and also not with the minister who did my dad's funeral who told everyone they were adulterers and all going to hell.

The cheapest possible for me but hopefully a guid party afterwards

I want to be cremated and my ashes scattered at my favourite place I don’t care if they have a wake or not it’s up to them I would rather they save the money I really don’t see the sense in spending lots of money on the dead when it’s the living that matter

A non-religious funeral, minimum cost and no black clothing! Music, maybe Sail Away by David Gray.

I have told the family to keep it simple, I love skiing and they are going to take my ashes on the piste!
