Another Testimonial for The Party of Your Life

 “As a celebrant I deal with creating meaningful funeral ceremonies for families, but after reading The Party of Your Life I realized how limited my ideas have been. Erika Dillman really opened up my eyes to a much more expanded way of looking at funerals. She has written a witty and humorous book on a topic that some people find fearful and morbid, and she conveys vital information in an easy-to-digest manner that includes humorous real-world examples.”
—Donna Belk, celebrant, home funeral guide, and
board member of the National Home Funeral Alliance,

My Disco Chamber

So, I've always wanted a disco chamber at my funeral, and now I've found a photo of the ideal venue!  Here are just a few of the songs I'll have my funeral DJ play at my disco:
  • Waterloo (Abba)
  • Y.M.C.A (Village People)
  • Boogie Shoes (K.C. & the Sunshine Band)
  • Night Fever (Bee Gees)
  • Shake Your Groove Thing (Peaches & Herb)
  • Play That Funky Music (Wild Cherry)
  • Let's Go Crazy (Prince)
  • Where the Streets Have No Name (Pet Shop Boys)
  • and  Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Freda Payne, Pointer Sisters...
And I want to hire Bert from Project Runway to design fabulous gowns for the women on my funeral team.

Morticians Putting the "F-U-N" Back in Funeral with Topless Calendar

Firemen do it, policemen do it, and now, so do morticians and funeral directors.  I'm talking about posing for some seriously shirtless photos to raise money for charity.  This is old news, but still fun to hear about. 

Back in 2007 a group of morticians and funeral directors got together for a photo shoot to make the Men of Mortuaries calendar to benefit KAMM CARES, a non-profit organization that helps individuals with breast cancer.  The Men haven't made a calendar since 2008, but their website is still up if you want to check it out!
