All the good things in life don’t last and neither will you. Hey, not to put you down but it’s better to consciously tackle the reality of life than to put it off and hope for the best. Millions of people have thought about their own funeral and what kind of things they would want to have in it. Most of us can say that at one point in time, we’ve wanted to blast out rock music as we’re lowered into the ground or cremated. Most of us have the honesty to say, we would rather have our guests laugh than cry. That’s who we want to be remembered as, someone who brought joy and fun into people’s lives. But there are so many other things you should add.
A way to their hearts
As old housewives will tell you, the way to any man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, that’s true for most people. Which is why you should consider carefully, what kind of cuisine you’re going to be serving at your funeral. You want people to leave feeling full and satisfied with the catering. It is a sad event and it’s not meant to be treated like a party, but you could give them all one last reminder of the food you loved.
If you’re from Italian roots, you probably want some baked ziti, mozzarella, and oil bites, as well as classic lamb stew or gelato as a dessert. Why is this so important? Food and family go together like cheese and wine. You want your family to think of you with every bite of the good food they enjoy at your funeral
Music sets the tone
Music is so complex that it’s hard to ever please anyone with your own choice of music. But, who cares, you’re not here anymore! So you can have any kind of music played at your funeral and out of respect, everyone has to bow their heads and obey. It’s actually quite good fun because you can throw in some wild cards that they might break into laughter over, the second they hear it. Imagine, pleasant Mozart music playing for a few minutes, and then all of a sudden, you have a classic disco song from your youth start playing!
It would be a funeral that everyone would remember, that’s for sure! At the end of the day, it’s your final way of expressing yourself, who you are, and what you liked while you were on this earth. So, don’t be shy, have any kind of music played at your own funeral.
Goodbye with love
And finally, lump-sum cash gifts are the best way to say goodbye to your family. Your savings could be used for your grandchildren’s first homes or to pay for an operation. That’s why you need to keep a tight grip on your funeral costs. Read up on the types of things that will cost the most and see where you can save any money. Remember, the usual funerals come with a lot of bells and whistles which you might not even want, so don’t end up paying for them. Better to make your own choices while you still can!
The last message you want to give your friends and family can be expressed through music and food. It makes people happy and remembers you with a smile.
