We are gathered here today to celebrate...

[Aspychata]

What would your eulogy say? Say 50 people were coming. Would it be serious, funny?
Mine- probably she was always doing stupid things, saying stupid things, just a emotional klutz. But she could cook. I never turned a dinner invite down.

 

[Slime_Punk]

"He was kind of a (expletive), but we loved him". How do I know? They say this all the time and I'm still alive

 

[Judge]

It might sound like this.

and end like this.

But alas, no one showed up. And this was all that could be heard:

 

[Neonatal RRT]

I don't have a good gauge on what others think of me at any given time. I don't have any idea what might be said.

I just want to be remembered as a good father, husband, and man. If that is all that is said about me, that's good enough.

 

[Alexej]

Please make sure that the folk attending recognise the person they know in your words.

I once went to a service of a guy I knew, but I did not recognise the person I knew in the eulogy. Ugh

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

I have already written my obituary and filed it with the people who will be handling my body donation. It states: A life so common it disappears.

 

[buoy]

Talk is cheap. Let's play some music.

 

[Aspychata]

Great, it's a lively thread, just perfect.

 

[Cryptid]

Any eulogy spoken about me would be full of fluff and nonsense.

 

[Wolfnox]

“We lost the coffin and had to use a Pringle can.”

 

[Thinx]

"Wow, the first person to live to 150! And so completely healthy! They just went to sleep one night and that was that."

 

[MNAus]

Sadly, his last words were "I told you it wasn't man fl......."

 

[Progster]

It wouldn't say anything. They'd just play some music.

 

[Mr. Stevens]

“We lost the coffin and had to use a Pringle can.”

If I remember right, the guy that invented Pringles was buried in a Pringle can coffin. I remember this from some junk food trivia I looked up for a work activity.

 

[SusanLR]

Come Sail Away by Styx would be a good song to play for me.

 

[Misery]

Everyone just walks in, then they put this song on.

Then someone goes up to the mic: "yeah, so, Sophie requested we play... that... right now. So, uh... yeah she was totally able to go 5 minutes without doing or saying something sarcastic. Really, she was. Or so I'm told, I never witnessed that myself..."

 

[Jumpinbare]

"He was just this guy. You know?"

 

[Alexej]

Please make sure that the folk attending recognise the person they know in your words.

I once went to a service of a guy I knew, but I did not recognise the person I knew in the eulogy. Ugh

 

[Yeshuasdaughter]

In my life, I can only remember one actual church eulogy. And it was for someone in my ex husband's side of the family. Most of the people in my family, we don't get church funerals. It's more like cremations and then if we can, trying to get some relatives together at the house.

I think the biggest funeral I actually went to, I've never talked about it. It holds great hurt in my heart.

It was when my paternal grandmother was cremated.

She was the true mother I had growing up. My own parents were not in good places at that time.

We went and they pulled back the sheet, and we got to say goodbye. It is a point of trauma in my life to have driven away and seen the smoke from the crematorium, as we passed it on the freeway.

Everyone had nothing but good things to say about her.

It's not about the eulogy. It's the memories and the lives changed. I am deeply flawed. I can only hope I've done mostly good in people's lives, affecting and influencing them for good. And that they won't hurt too much when one of the clan is not with them anymore.

 

[Dagan]

I just want whomever to read my ongoing book / journal titled, Random Thoughts. It's basically full of things I have had pop in mind just whenever, however, and they come across like a combination of a Jack Handy, Mitch Hedberg, Steven Wright, Ricky Gervais, George Carlin stand up routine (all in one). It would let people know the real me, and it would be upbeat, humorous and give a truly lasting impression / memory.
