To not want a funeral?

[ObelixtheGaul]

To clarify, I am not terminally I'll or anything, but have in recent years seen a couple of friends and relatives die, one suddenly. It's made me think you don't know what's round the corner, and one thing I've observed is that it can be distressing to relatives to not know their loved one's wishes.
One of my relatives didn't want a funeral. He didn't want the fuss, so he didn't have one. Given the cost of having an even basic funeral these days, I know more and more people are thinking about Pure Cremation type options.
Some people do feel, though, that it doesn't give them a chance to say goodbye. I know my Uncle's choice wasn't popular with the more traditional family members.
I'd like my friends and relatives to skip the formal bit and go straight to the pub. Put the music I like on the jukebox rather than playing it in the crematorium. It wouldn't be a church do anyway as I am not religious. To be fair, I'm not going to know anything about it and I do rather like the idea a friend of my father's who is terminally I'll has of having a big 'going away' party before he dies.
I know it's a morbid subject, but it comes to us all. How would you like to be sent off?

@ThePrologue if you donate your body to medical science there is a legal obligation to give you a funeral at some point (2 years I think). It was a burial but obviously there are now options.
My trainee medic daughter asked me today if I was donating my brain. Hopefully it was a complement! 😄

I don't want an open funeral. I only want it for the people who actually loved me .A private funeral I suppose.
After that they can hold any event in they want .
I do feel I should have a say and my wishes respected. It's the last thing they'll do for me and I've asked.

Just remember that funerals are for the living not the dead. A relaxed memorial type

Type event (pressed too soon) in a pub side room is still a memorial. I just would advise against not having anything

I've made my wishes clear.

Only DH and DC to view body and only if they really want to, my preference is they don't as I would prefer they remember be alive.

I want a direct cremation and then a memorial sort of service which can then be held on a Saturday in our local function room. I would like to give people the chance to give eulogies if they wish or talk about me, be sad (I hope), together and remember me. Then just drink, eat and spend time together.

I'm not religious and I am not my body so a funeral, even a cremation doesn't appeal.

I would want them to keep my ashes and would like to have mine and DH's spread together.
