"Enjoy Yourself (It's Later Than You Think)"
(originally by Guy Lombardo)

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Hello, I'm Terry,
And I'm going to enjoy myself first

It's good to be wise when you're young
'Cos you can only be young but the once
Enjoy yourself and have lots of fun
So glad and live life longer than you've ever done

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Never right, yes I know
Get wisdom, knowledge and understanding
These three, were given free by the maker
Go to school, learn the rules, don't be no faker
It's not wise for you to be a foot stool

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think

Thats pretty much what I want. My home is my resting place. My backyard has woods and trees. Want to be buried in ground as well. No official - have a friend say something and immediate family.

It is my will to be Burned and Scattered...some parts will need to go to the Scrapyard. Perhaps my ashes will improve soil fertility, and perhaps my non-organic (titanium) parts will become part of a space vehicle. There should be no waste of land on my carcass.

When my ex-wife was murdered by her Satanic ex - but still currently living with her - boyfriend (seriously... Satanic with books and practicing) her friends hijacked the whole funneral preparations and gave her a "Christian" service. I knew this would have been against her wishes because we had talked about it and she was some sort of like vague Catholic-Buddhist combination, and her family was Catholic.

Two of my three daughters are avowed atheists, though one is married to a catholic. #3 goes to church to make daddy happy. (he has money and they live with him for various reasons for them and him) I have told my kids to do what makes them happy. If they want to a casket and funeral, or if they want to let the state handle it. I am not going to be there, I don't really care. It won't be me anymore. I do like the idea of a tree growing out of my remains though. I'm not the party type. I have a friend who wants pregnant nuns at his funeral. Several of his lady friend are to obtain habits and strap on a pillow. I think a post-menopausal pregnant nun would be hysterical.

There will be NO service for Alice....look what happened to Hitch. Fuck that noise.

I agree totally. I’ve actually thought of having my body planted with a tree.

I have no non-religious friend or family member to do that, so I already have a draft and plan to start recording something. But in the end, funerals are not for the deceased and I don't want to make it about me. Tough choice.

I have planted trees myself to directly help nature and I am just being cremated with no eulogy or anything. if it was legal I would happily have anyone up to the task to drag my body over to the trees and bury me hiding any signs of it being a burial and would have him paid as little as it would cost to do it. as that isn't an option cremation it is and even that with no bells and whistles is approx $1500 which is still robbery. I lost my much-loved dog last year as she was very ill and in pain. the cost of the very same job with the cost of the lethal injection was approx $120 and she was a big powerful dog. my sister specifically said she didn't want a funeral but her asshole partner denied her last wish and had one anyway. he had to tell the vicar over the phone all about my sister so he could pretend he knew her at great cost which is just bullshit.$10,000 for a see threw car and all the other shit for someone who didn't want it, attended by people who at best say they believe but never go to church and mostly didn't visit my sister generally in life. on top of this "cheapest" funeral, you only get 25 to 50 years in the ground if cremated or pay a shit load more if buried. this makes some of the richest fertilised soil and expensive land that is never put to good use. when people die I know I feel however I feel the moment I find out. I could go on but I can't be bothered. I think the film Dredd with Carl Urban had it spot on in so much as bodies were for recycling. I loved the film as a possible future and its one-liners and highly recommend it. there is no god in this film.

My funeral is organised, no service or anything, just body disposal. If I get some notice, there will be a hell of a party while I am still able.

Once I am gone... I will be busy with what is going on in the other side to worry about those and what left behind. I doubt there is a transition period available.

I've made pacts with different friends and family to help negate a lot of trying to save the pool pit if I go before them. Because I'm sure my family will try and have a religious ceremony.

I very rarely invoke my prestigious membership in the clergy. I am in fact Rev. Dave. I am an ordained atheist pastor through the First Church of Atheism. I got the ordination so that I could do just that. In addition I am planning to make myself available on a volunteer basis at the local prisons and Fort Carson to help normalize atheism and perhaps set a president for atheist clergy in the military. Atheist clergy are out there. The reason there is atheist clergy is that clergy have special access to prisons, military bases and can preform ceremonies such as weddings and funerals. This is particularly exciting for the lgbt community.

Howdy!! Oh, the religious DO LOVE a good funeral!! Gets their god juices boiling!

I’m thinking of just recording my own in advance.
