A friend of mine would like to hold a small dance party atop his grave. Just a few close friends, all of them dancing to the tune of "Another One Bites the Dust". He's a joker, but I beleive him when he says he is serious about that being an event at his funeral.
Someone that I work with told me that he wants to be buried naked, coffinless. A steadfast Atheist, he feels that his body rotting down and nourishing plantlife is much more appealing to him than being "accepted into the embrace of God". He's also a bit of an environmentalist, hence his general objection to a coffin.
Personally, I wouldn't object to a Viking Funeral.
What I want to know is, do you have any unusual funeral plans? If so, what are they? And why them in particular?

For me to have unusual plans would mean that I intend to have a funeral, which I don't. I plan on donating any usable organs and having the rest of my body cremated, with my ashes scattered in a place TBD.
Whatever my family wants to do during the memorial service is up to them.

I'm like IM. No funeral planned but, I want those that knew me to honor my celtic background and have a wake. A good old fashioned Irish wake.
Hitting the pub? My idea of a wake.

I want my family to price out the cost of a funeral. Not the most extravagant, but something nice and dignified. But I want them to actually buy something that's the bare minimum. I'll be dead. I don't care if they cremate me and put the ashes in a shoebox. I want them to use the difference in funds to throw a party. I want them to invite al my family, all their family, all my friends, all my friend's friends. This should be a party that lasts a while, and spans at least a couple states. It should be a party that they remember every time they think of me...

My grands was at her house, with some good fuisce, beer and lots of food that went on for days. Lots of musicians played and the house was lit up! Told lots of stories about her and the family. LOL. A real celebration of life.

I've always liked the idea of my ashes being put into a firecracker to explode into the night sky in a colourful display of lights and sounds over the ocean while my loved ones watch, drink, celebrate and remember me. Definitely festive music, and no tears. I think it would be fun to go out with a 'bang'.

i have often joked that i want to be stuff in an undignified position and displayed in living room - perhaps i could be used as a coat rack?
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I met another back packer when I was in Mexico last year who said he would wanted to be cremated and a little bag of ashes given to each of his friends/grandchildren/children (depending on when he died) along with some money so they could travel and would have to find a place to spread his ashes.
A little weird, but I sort of liked the idea.

Cremated ashed washed down the toilet. 
Insert typical super smart ass comment courtesy of thepainter here.
I think that the Celebration of Life is always a fine way to say good bye, maybe have a few too many drinks, and laugh while sharing stories.
I've told a dear friend and my daughter don't plan anything big for my wake/celebration (thinking - that celebration could be misconstrude as "yeah, the witch is dead!") - considering my bitch-reputation, there may be only a few that would attend; those that know I am only bitchy to the stupid, the unkind and the slaggers.
Thinking ... maybe enough scotch and wine and beer for a dozen! lol
But one thing for sure - hope they play "in my life" by the Beatles ......

No plans written in ink or set in stone for me, but I want to go the cheap way: send me to the incinerator and toss my ashes in the ocean. The cost of a coffin is incredible, I would want my insurance money to be used wisely and not spent on a $10,000 coffin. I would want my wife to have more of it for herself than the funeral director.
