I have already informed my family, I do not want a funeral. Black people go into debt or have to beg family members for money to put on these expensive funerals for whom, the dead person?
I told my family the same thing. They asked what's the alternative and I didn't have a response. I was like yall can't just dig a hole and throw me in there? Lol like what's the laws on this? 🤣
I agree with Eddie. When both my parents died. They both were cremated. We had a memorial service with a rented casket , no cemetery, no limos, no police escorts. (The police escort was $500 alone).Both of their urns/ashes are in my living room!. Simple as that!
@@exactlyerica9285 girl I put my fingers in my ears and started saying lalalalalalala. I’m sure they thought I had lost my mind. I know all about them colored eyed bandits down there. They weren’t getting me. 🤣🤣🤣lbvs
Cousinnnn!!! 😂😂😂 We can tell a time was had! We know what it means if we see that doll! And yesss, for drinking the water along with the alcohol! I take it a step further and drink coconut water. NO hangover symptoms the next day.
To grieve is to love. Hugs to you. This November will be 11 years since the passing of my younger brother. It still hurts. The pain is real. Stay strong and honor your brother memories.
I have seen black people bully family members into have a funeral when the deceased specifically said they did not want a funeral. If your sister is strong enough ( I wasn’t) then ok, if not PUT IT IN YOUR WILL, and make it so insurance money CANNOT BE used for a funeral.
I agree with Eddie. Don’t do all of that rigamarole & bs. No wasting of money. I told my close friends & family if they wanna do something y’all get together & go have a nice dinner. My parents were the same way… although I did have low key memorial services for both. No caskets or anything like that. Marked the occasion.. had a repast and that was it. I don’t even want that much. People be cutting up & lying about the deceased at funerals & I be over it! 🤷🏿♀️
I am 52 years old and I told my family no funeral. I already bought my spot. From the death bead to the casket to that wall. No pictures. No viewing ❤❤
My husband has strict instructions: NO FUNERAL! Just meet up with the people I love, play my favorite songs, eat my favorite foods, and DRINK! Throw me a death party, babyyyyyy! Like that lady who had her sons funeral at the club lmao. She had him propped up in a seat and everything 😂
I want to rent out a bar with everybody drinking and laughing and telling funny stories about me! Hell, it beats folks pretending to be sad while eating chicken and potato salad 🤷🏽♀️
Everyone should be able to go out like they want provided the funds are there. That includes no funeral. My friend's aunt had a graveside only funeral, no viewing. They put her in the ground, said a word or two, then served champagne. That's what she wanted.
Nicki gives grocery shopper😂🤣 Auntie Aretha viewing was 2 days, and the funeral was 10 hours (total 3 wardrobe changes), the procession was 1 hour...they arrived at the cemetery at night (after 8pm). No cap. It was truly an EVENT! 🤩We were there for it!
This is so ironic talking about funerals, I just lost my sis on 6/27/24😞 and we are having her funeral this Wednesday, we just celebrated her birthday on 6/14/24, just made 37, sooo beautiful, and she knew it🤣😔, but she was unhealthy and was trying so hard to work on herself, at 37 she had sleep apnea and had just got her bipap machine 3 weeks prior, she fell asleep on her sofa from a nap and woke up gasping for air, grabbed the wall and her chest and then fell over with her 17 year old daughter witnessing 😢, sorry for rant cousins, still processing, black women, Let’s Take Care Ourselves✊🏾, cousin Rodney, I needed that laugh❤️
I was supposed to be coming to Houston this weekend for my Birthday. I'm so sad about the Hurricane 🥺. I'm also glad to hear you're safe. I was thinking about you when I heard about the storm. Oh and I LOVE a NYC accent too cousin lol
I went to essence ten years ago. My plan was to go to back this year. Essence is a good time. Staying hydrated will save you from so many things. We ain’t built like we used to be. I’m going back to New Orleans next year for jazz festival.
I’ve been saying for years that I am ok with a memorial but no funeral. Rent a space and celebrate life and good memories, you can do it outside if the weather permits. 🤷🏾♀️ I can be cremated, no need to spend all of that money.
Exact same and I'm gonna curate and prepay for the photo poster and memorial photo booklet myself. Just stand it up at the front/hand em out. Keep all yall scandalous throwbacks to yourselves.😂😂😂
Hey Rodney!😘 I hope your sister and her family are okay. The world news reported that 2 million people are without power in Houston. I'm glad you're enjoying NOLA. My father was born and raised there. However, he moved to DC at 19 and he no longer has his accent. He became a "new negro".😂😂 Now, the rest of my family still have their accents and yes, the NOLA accent is everything!🔥🔥 Please stay hydrated. I went to Essence Fest last year. Baybee, that heat almost took me all the way down. I'm 47 now! Chile, I can't take the heat and the liquor no mo'.🥵 Did you enjoy the concerts? Don't stay too long in NOLA, hunni! You might find yourself entangled. The NOLA men are double trouble!! Safe travels to you!💛🫶🏾
Hi Rodney - I am so glad that you are having a wonderful time in NOLA. You had me worried that you may have been caught up in the hurricane. Enjoy the remainder of your time away and return home safely. Oh yeah, and another thing, that doll looks like she was "rode hard and put away wet".
Erica Mena already told us he was into assplay. 🤷🏾♀️ Chile, my Grandma on my Dad's side did not want a Funeral. When I tell u me and my Brother was windmilling our Uncle's and Aunties because they was trying to force us have a funeral. We won tho, but it was DRAMA!!
I don’t want a funeral. Ain’t nobody gone pay for my fill in and sew in and I know about 88% of the people in attendance gone be a fake 304 I don’t like😂 if they can’t play a pre recorded video of me talking about how much I didn’t like them, get Jezzy to perform, and take my body on tour like they did James Brown’s don’t bother.
I have told my family numerous times…NO DAMN FUNERAL! What the hell are you doing all this pomp and circumstance for?! I am not a queen or dignitary! I don’t need it and don’t like attending them. I told them if there is a service of any kind, I’m going to haunt them for the rest of their natural lives. And then when they crossover, I’m whooping ass. 😐😐😐 What I don’t like is family or loved ones who don’t respect people’s wishes. They do what they want or because they think it’s what’s supposed to happen. When they can show me a law that says a funeral is a requirement, we can have a conversation. My wishes are in writing. I suggest people to do the same.
