PLEASE, don't nobody get mad or start an argument, I'm serious bout it. I'm being dead ass. I was thinkin' a minute ago bout alllll this, and this question just popped in my head.
How would somebody layout a funeral, those come with a church service, a mass, a wake. Sure you could get cremated, but spiritual services still get carried out. You know, would one, have a service, period? I'm just being curious. Like what I mean, is if you don't have a funeral, how would you have a burial service...that's what I'm askin'. That's how I'm tryin' to word it.
It's really, ultimately a real fuckin' new day and age sooo questions like this gots to come up..word?

My body is to be thrown into the trash.

I dunno. Never been to an "Athiest" funeral. I've been to funerals of Athiest people, but their funerals had a Christian theme to them.
Because a funeral is not for the dead person: its for those left behind. So naturally, they're gonna get a pastor or a priest for the service because religion is used to comfort people during hard times (one of the good qualities that religion brings).
That's why I don't care what happens when I die. I won't be attending the shit anyways lol. As long as, at the end of the day, my family feels a little closure then its all good.

Sounds like a good response to me. If you do not believe in any religion, then when you die...you just die.
Sik, you did bring up a good point. Thou the person that is dead is athiest, that doesn't mean the people that knew them are. If anything, the religious people that had to bury their athiest friend/family are probably worried that they may not make it to heaven due to their nonbelief.

In Germany you don't have to have a priest on your funeral. The mortician's usually have someone to deliever the sermon. There are cemetaries for people who don't wanna get involved with the church. It's pretty much the same only without mentioning the afterlife. ;)

The idea of having a religious funeral against my will offends me.^^ I get the motivation behind it. Like you said, they might be worried. That's some shit I can imagine them Jesusfreaks doing. ;D It would be mad disrespectful to throw a Christian in the trash if he/she wanted a Christian funeral, too.

When a young person dies it's their family who handles the funeral, and since the older generations tend to believe in religion, their funerals end up that way. I hat to attend a catholic mass and burial for a good friend of mine this year, who was 21 years old and agnostic. He wouldn't have wanted a large ornate service but that's what happened. RIP to his soul, he died on Christmas day in a car wreck on the way to visit his family.

QT, when I saw the title of this thread...it sounded like the beginning of a joke lol. I was waiting for a punchline when i came in here.

Like I said though, a funeral is not for you, its for the people who mourn you. If you really don't want the possibility of having a religious burial or whatever, donate your body to science or something. I've been thinking about that. I honestly don't care what happens to my body, you can make me a scarecrow or fertilizer or whatever.

It would have to be in memory of the deceased.
Having it any other way then how the deceased wants it is disrespectfull.
I'm guessing queen will buy your body and stuff you.
She's about crazy enough to do that

All very inna-restin'.

LOL @ the part about Queen.
Yeah, a funeral is suppose to be in memory of the person who died, but it never really turns out that way. It has a higher purpose IMO. It does much more in the healing process of those that lost their loved one. I've noticed that a lot in the 3 funerals I've been to this year.

if you're an atheist, how the hell are you offended by what they do to your body when you're dead?

as a dedicated atheist I want my body cut into 6 pieces (head, torso, legs and hands) and then have each piece mailed (+ a letter) to a few selected christians...one being Queen Sikotic of course. Each piece will have a Satanic symbol tattooed on it (I already have the triple sixes inked in my skull).
And each letter will of course say "Satan wants your soul".

Assuming that the people organising my funeral would be most likely family and/or friends, the idea of them disrespecting my will of i.e. never having a religious funeral is offending. It's not that my corpse was of any worth without this formidable mind. ;D
It's just like they wouldn't respect my last will. There won't be too many things left when I'm gonna be gone, my body being one of them. I would expect my people to carry out my last will out of respect for who I was, like I would carry out their if I had to.

Yeah, my nigga Job is smart, but sometimes he allows his hate to cloud his judgement.

I have it all mapped out. I will not be buried, but cremated, and my ashes will be split in 2 parts. One part would go in a small jar somewhere that i consider my true "home", and the other half will be mixed in into a communal jar of ashes that I'm gonna start for my family, so starting with me, whoever wants to join my ashes is totally welcome to do so. I also like when people make diamonds out of ashes of their relatives and make jewelry out of it, but that's not for me, i don't like jewelry. So basically, cremation all the way, baby! Fuck taking up valuable space on the planet.

Interesting concept, the communal jar & diamond thing. I'll have to keep that in mind. Imagine your grandkids rockin your ass on a ring or chain!

I want an irish wake when I die. Religion doesn't have to play a part, it's everyones testimony about you.
