Pop songs and mawkish behaviour at Funerals...

I can understand this POV - dont forget that most ministers do around 3 funerals per week (hardcore if you think about what it entails) and dont forget where these particular funerals are being held etc..

Surely its up to the family how they want to mourn their lost ones...and if that means listening to Celine Dion (wouldnt be my choice) then so be it

That would be the case if they were booking a funeral like one books a wedding reception but not if they are having it in a Christian church.

Maybe he should just keep his opinions to himself and do his ****ing job.

Pop music... popular music, which touches a lot more people than old hymns they only listen to or sing along with if they have to. If pop music emotes the feelings more suitably, what's the problem?

If I want Sympathy for the Devil played at my funeral, then it's gonna happen.

I won't be having my funeral in a church anyhow so it makes ***** all difference to me:joker:

I am sure that if I go up to the dj booth at G.A.Y. and ask for "My Jesus I Love Thee I Know Thou Art Mine" they would be most accommodating?


:hugesmile:

Highway to hell would be playing at mine

LOL... Cool choice. I'm having "She Bangs" by Ricky Martin.

People dont really have a range of choice where to go for their funerals they go where everyone else goes...where the graveyards are....

i'm going to be cremated

Ooh no I dont fancy bein burnt...I'd rather rot lol

No wonder Christianity is on the decrease. Where in the bible does it say "thou shalt suck the comfort and joy out of everything"?

i rather go by getting eating by the dogs

I'm sure they would if it was important to you and the day was in celebration of your life.

I can arrange something similar for you. I'll dress you up in a YMCA costume and throw you to a pack of Christians.

I hate the thought of spiders and creepy crawlies all over me!! Plus I don't want to get accidentally buried alive :devil:

i know a few Cannibals could have a munch on you Niamh

Thats the way i think i should go dress in leathers:joker:

better than burnt alive!! and just think we're feeding the creepy crawlies and the plants n that, its giving something back to nature (here you are earth we've squeezed every last drop out of yer in return you can have our rotting flesh!) lol

haha, it'd be quicker being buried alive though! :devil:

Niamh you be dead so you wouldn't feel a thing:joker:

Incase I'm accidentally buried alive lol

I've always said, bury me first and then if I don't like it burn me.

:joker: the good doctor speaks from the grave brillant

:joker: do you think the hubby bury you alive Niamh?:joker:
