You sound like a man whoās worried no one will have a good word to say about him when he dies
sure what difference would it make if iĀ“m not here to hear it !!.. :lol:
no thats not itā¦my point is whats the need in saying anything if it will always be hyperboleā¦like u alluded to above it has to be a good wordā¦
i dunnoā¦he sounds like a āwarts and allā man
:lol: i got a cream and a course of antibiotics for that thank you very muchā¦

I honestly donĀ“t think anything needs to be saidā¦those who know the deceased have their memories and those who donĀ“t well they arenĀ“t every going to by that stageā¦just my personal opinionā¦think its an added pressure to the person who has to speak in a difficult time aswellā¦[/quote]
The eulogy is a chance, if not the last chance, for families to pay tribute to a loved family member. No harm to give mourners more of an insight into the life of the deceased. As for putting pressure on someone, nearly every family has someone who loves to talk.

fair enoughā¦but like i said what family member is going to speak ill of the person?..so its not really an insight is itā¦its rose-tintedā¦thats all iĀ“m sayingā¦
Not necessarily. The Humanist ceremony I was at, two men spoke, a friend and a brother in law. Both summed up the deceased perfectly, naming his good qualities and also his bad. There was no sugar-coating and it was actually quite powerful, I have to say.
what about having one person lauding the deceased, then someone else talking about what a bastard he was? A proper balance is everything!
or maybe just leave people with their own memory of the deceasedā¦

Of course itās likely to be positive, (would be an interesting funeral if it wasnāt). Lots of little stuff that people do goes unnoticed. Itās a nice opportunity for families to let people know how special the deceased was. Of course itās going to mean more to family and friends but a funeral is the last chance to say these things in public.
just promise me youĀ“ll clean house if u see anyone stand up to try to speak at mineā¦chers palā¦

Ah yeah, Iāll give them the horrible unvarnished truth about you.
Humanistās are allright sorts in general
we had one take charge of our wedding as well, it was a phenomoenal success.
when you take away the religous criteria from funeralās , weddings , baptism or naming cermonys which I suppose which is will be what we will do if the time ever comes and think outside the box you can actually organise quite a nice cermony
Do not vomit within a 6 foot radius of the deceased. (left a wake about an hour agoā¦ carnage).
Whoever opened a bottle of black rum at 5am? not Captain morgans but it had a pirate of the bottle. ā¦?
Old sea dog Jamaican rumā¦absolute poisonā¦ a different animal to the captain altogether.
Thats the stuffā¦ the ring is burned off me today.

That stuff should only be used in cooking. Itās lethal. Years ago when I was a teenager I ordered one of those in the pub, but the lady publican told me politely but firmly that I could continue to drink pints but there was no way she would serve me rum.
thats cos oneās a dark rum and one is a spiced rumā¦ think both are rankā¦Brugal or Ron Barcelo are the nicest rums around IMHOā¦

Like all spirits, a good rum shouldnāt need a mixer, a single ice cube possibly but thatās it. Anything that needs a mixer is shite, regardless of where its sold.
