The gathering of loved ones to say goodbye is a ggod thing...a way to release the emotions and celebrate the life that person had and how they were touched...it has meaning & purpose...at least 4 me!

I've made arrangements for 10 beautiful women to turn up all clutching babies and bawl their eyes out at my funeral and throw their rings into my grave... it'll drive my relatives nuts

Show up where? At the scene (assuming I was murdered or died in an accident, as young people don't generally die of natural causes)? I don't want a funeral, I've always found them to be rather unnecessary and morbid. I would hope that they majority of people that I know would come and mourn at my parent's house or something.

I hope not, as I want it fast and over with and do not desire to be any trouble to any one.
I am gone and the fact that some one has to be trouble at all on my account is not something I want, I am paying for it and their pay will be decent for the job.
I am not afraid.
I have always considered Friday the 13th same as any other day. Rom.14:5-8;

I'm actually hoping not,I have long since told my family to at best cremate me,and that they are more than welcome to just leave me out for the trash guy if they will let them. When your dead why should you care,graveyards and big funerals are just folly. By the way as an aside,if christians believe their loved ones are going to a better place why do they always seem to be the ones most devastated at a funeral,shouldn't they be happy?

Not many. My wife will probably be the only one. I am a very hated man, but that is okay, I am used to it. There may be a few friends, but no relatives at all. They all hate me, and that is okay. They claim they are such good Christians, but have much hatred in their heart. I feel sorry for them.
My dad was dead two years before I found out because everyone hated me so much no one bothered to tell me that my own father was dead.

I dont care how many people come to see my dead corpse but I know since i am so charming that a lot of people would be there. People I dont care for as well. Nice question for the 13th.

The two remaining family members...my soon-to-be ex-wife, a couple of friends...
I doubt it. I haven't accomplished much that would make a lot of people miss me terribly. After all, I'm in security...one of the most hated occupations after lawyers and police. Never mind the people I've kept from getting hurt or the folks I've helped through trouble.
Okay, enough of the self-pity. Bottom line...not many. I was born to be alone.

There would be a lot of people there. Lori would sing "I'll fly away" along with her girls, Julie, Shawn and Craig would sing "Amazing Grace/my chains are gone" along with my baby girl who would play the bass guitar.
Julie Mac and the band would sing something... not sure what yet.
Jeff would be the Pastor, I would want anyone who wished to say something - go ahead and say it.
I got it planned - and it woud be a celebration of life

I was at a funeral recently that made me think (more so than usual, that is). In his will, it stipulated that there was to be no viewing, no wake, just a party at the local bar. Black was not allowed, everyone had to dress in green or blue. People were to celebrate his life and not mourn his passing.
Pretty cool, eh? He wasn't Irish and his estate picked up the bar tab.

I would care only for those of my loved ones left behind. I think most of my church congregation, our close family friends and family would all show up...so probably over 100 people. However, what matters most is where I'M going after my funeral. And I praise God that I am going to be with Him. Hope to see you there.
