DISPOSAL I want to be placed on a funeral pyre by the sea and burned like the poet Shelley. Like Shelley, I would also like my heart removed and kept by my beloved. I would like my ashed scattered thusly: some on the grave of Vincent van Gogh, some in the sea, the rest can be disposed of/kept/made into jewellery by whomever wants to.
COFFIN As I will be burned on a pyre, wrap me in a nice orange mulin, crepey thing.
RELIGION Even though I was once a born-again Xian, I've since rejected it. Anyone can read whatever they like, but I don't want an overtly religious theme. Tends to overshadow the dead and becomes a prostelizing sermon.
GUESTS Gosh, where to begin?
Circus Mel, Devon, Cohost Steve, Dad, Mom, all other family and friends.
As I'll be a famous writer/chanteuse by the time I die, all my fans are welcome. If there are so many that I need to lie in state for a few days, so be it.
I'd like a professional wailer to be present, as well.
MUSIC "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night" by John Cale;
"Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley ;
"Weeping Song" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds;
and for the procession, "The Power of Love" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.
READINGS Surprise me. Whatever people think would be appropriate. Scratch that - not appropriate but relevant.
Also, I hate funerals where the deceased is turned into a saint. Be funny, speak about what irritated you about me. Make it a good tribute to my life. Good tributes aren't glossed over lies.
EPITAPH Amicule, deciliæ, num is sum mentiar tibi?
OBITUARY Heather was a bitter, twisted soul, but well loved by many who should have known better.
She began her life in a rank little city in Northern Canada and eventually ended up travelling the world, performing with her cabaret/rock/klezmer band "Ugly Stories".
She eventually settled in New York City, where she entertained a great number of lovers and wrote many best-selling books about crime and disfigured romantic heros.
Heather's service will be held at Snow White's Sombre Funeral Palace in Queens. Bring your own balloons and musical instruments.
