I'm going out with a fun time! First off, I'm having EVERYONE dress as Godzilla. NO matter how old you are, in a wheelchair, or a ghost YOU ARE GODZILLA. Only one person, ONLY ONE, shall not be dressed as Godzilla. That shall be the person who reads my sermon. They will be dressed as the State Puff Cream Marshmallow Man. Yep, I said it.
...if there is a priest, he's dressing up as Mechagodzilla....
After that, everyone will be leading me on a procession through town, a mass group of Godzillas, and one State Puff Cream Marshmallow Man, all walking slowly behind a casket.
But, the casket is far from ordinary. It will be build into the car, Dragula!! Not the original, but a replica. It will be remote controlled by someone, and it will be going down the street, revving the whole way so I can piss off people who manage to be sleeping at the time ^_^
Then, after my burial, which will be a mystifying light show and firework extravaganza, there will be a massive party.
Now, imagine a bunch of drunken Godzilla's dancing the night away.
That, will be my FUNeral.

I haven't planned out my funeral in detail, but every time I go to a funeral, I make a mental note of what I do not want to happen at my funeral and what I do. My father had two funerals, one for his family and one for his friends. At the family funeral, they played the time warp and his father, a preacher; gave a sermon I mostly ignored because my father just died and I was depressed; but as I recall he compared his son to Jesus. During the planning of the funeral, my mother kept telling his father that he'd been living as a pagan for over twenty years and that the christian funeral was just for the relatives, and that she didn't care what he did there, and he kept ignoring her. That pissed me off. At his second funeral, everyone dressed like vikings and we drank alot of mead, threw axes, and had waster battles. Then we burned a miniture ship and grave goods, mostly symbolic photocopies so they'd burn better. Coke, duct tape, his drinking horn, some tools for example. We managed to find a nice metal bowl-like thing and a stand that would work for it so that we didn't have to use the barbeque. More dignified that way.
I've actually put alot more thought into my burial. I want a green burial. It's religious, I want to rot. I also designed my gravestone at one point, but that was for a comic; it took place in a graveyard and I needed to put names on the tombstones. It had a cat and rosemary on it, kinda a joke on my poor memory.

ZOMG this thread is the best...
My family has a little plot in a cemetary in Ramondville, Texas(If your in the area go visit us, the Trevino's). Soooo many of my family is buried there, I have to be too. I'm a little traditional like that. I'd want my kids there too, when they pass. I don't want chemicals and all that in me,or any clothes on me (I wanna go out how I came in, right), I want a plain wooden box, that I made before I died or even got close to dying. I'd totally paint it with intricate designs and symbols and have one side to let my friends graffiti and sign all over it. I'd allow no crying, but if someone had to as that is the cultural norm, I'd allow it but it would be frowned upon. This would be a huge, happy party and feast and everyone I ever knew would be invited. It would be a closed casket, but there'd be plenty of pictures of me. Dancing and loud music, definitely. I want everything to be settled before I'm dead so there would be no arguments from my family. I don't want a priest to sit over it, either. Maybe a Buddhist monk and a Wiccan priest together, but not a Christian guy. Most of my family is Christian and I'm sure they'd complain, but screw them. When they die they can do whatever they want.
