When my Mom passed away in 2012 her wish was to be cremated. We were surprised to have the funeral home request that she be clothed even though there was no viewing. My sister and I really thought about what we should send for her to wear for cremation. I finally said how about a nice night gown? My Mom loved to be comfy, and always wore nighties to sleep in, so we felt it was a perfect solution. We bought her a nice new, pretty night gown. We never told anyone other than very close family. It might sound crazy to some people but to this day I feel like we made the right choice.
Did the same for my Mom. Hope she's not embarrassed in heaven by our choice. Lol
That’s something that my family isn’t going to have to worry about. Direct cremation for me, no viewing/funeral/wake/memorial. Next stop, heaven 😁😇
Sounds perfect to me !
I will be cremated so no clothes needed. Buck naked. My oldest brother was buried in his favorite pants, shirt and a vest, I think. He died in 1980 so my memory is not too clear on his clothes and it was a closed casket. I think you should plan your funeral, cremated, buried, what clothes, music the whole ten yards. Less stress on the living.
Great video!!!
You crack me up! No bad juju. You do not want to burden your family while they are grieving….
Very well done. I am 75, I have everything pre-paid and planned, but never even thought about what to wear.
I’m 58 and I want to be you when I’m done growing up! ❤
Don't come at me people, but I'm not having a furneral. Straight to creamation. Then out to sea, or hang around for hubby until we can go to the sea together. Kids know everything. Rather have our funds split among our 4 grandkids we adore. Most likely I'll have pjs on and that's me anyway.😊 We've been together 50 years.😊
On the contrary tammy, power to you! No funeral is the best funeral! You’ll spare everyone all the stressful work, not to mention the unnecessary expenses!
I just thought how practical it would be to be buried in your wedding dress. You’d get two big occasions out of it!
😁
Lol! I love your idea!
My 100-year-old grandmother always said she wanted to be buried in her favorite nightgown but my mother wouldn't hear of it and put her in a pant suit. She just wanted to be comfortable. lol I think she should have had her way.
I told my family that no matter what I die from I do not want my casket open. It has to be a closed casket! Therefore it really doesn’t matter what clothes I have on. I absolutely do not want people looking at my dead body! They say stupid things like: “she looks good”! Really? I’m dead! I look dead! That’s good?!!!? Really!?
Have you ever seen a good looking dead person?? 😂😂 Been to several funerals where the person looks unrealistic ( terrible makeup, frowing, hair done horribly) not even close to what they looked in real life… no thanks … you want to look at me ? Come see me when I’m alive 😂
I'm dying (no pun intended) laughing over here. My Pop died in June 2022, my Uncle passed in July 2023. My Uncle in another state was in a hospice facility, so I had to get in my Pop's closet to bring my Uncle some clothes to be buried in. I know my Pop and Uncle got a kick out this in Heaven, I can just imagine their conversation. So yes this vid is important, thank you.
and I might add…..the styling of the hair in a way we’d never do!
What about makeup too! I don't think anyone will remember what you were wearing but if your hair and makeup is wrong, they will.
Angela, you are hilarious! This is what happens when you live part-time in the Villages with so many old people. You put together the funniest video you have ever made! Loved it!
Love the Villages comment!!
I had a feeling a jean jacket would be involved 😊💙
This is certainly a topic I've never watched before!
My sister died 3 years ago and she planned everything. From church, music,and clothes. It made it so easy for us.
Mine passed last year and didn't plan a thing! My nieces and I picked out her outfit and had to buy a sweater!
😂🤣😄😀😃 Thats totally hilarious!!! I love it, Angela. I'm getting cremated because I'm making sure I'm getting the last word!!! LOL I know an 85 yr. old lady that mistakenly was dressed in her granddaughters off the shoulder Prom dress by mistake in her casket. Can you just imagen the person that dressed her at the funeral home. The grand daughter had a cow when she seen her granny in her prom dress. What a day!!! Laughing from southern Indiana USA.
You are hilarious, but spot on...
Suddenly, I need to remind my husband of what I shall wear were I to suddenly die.
Angela this video was so hilarious I was reading some of the comments to my husband who thought it Extremely hilarious also!!
Greetings Angela! You know, I have been thinking about getting one of those books from Amazon that you write down all your important things to know for whomever survives you. This would be a great place to include your final outfit! You could even include a picture of it. What do you think? Love and blessings ♥️😊
Your next gig should be at a comedy club. You're a natural😂
My mom passed away last month, and it was up to me to pick out something for her to wear for the viewing. Thankfully I found the perfect top for her in her closet, still new with the tags on, exactly her favorite colors and style. Even after that, I've never really thought of designating something for myself to wear!
Funny as all get out! And ain’t none of us getting outta here alive! Good to plan and take the stress off those left behind.
" I've got standards....even if I am dead!" 😂😂😂
Why is it in poor taste? None of us are making it out of this world alive. Why not plan it the way you want it.
Exactly and I went about it in a non depressing, humorous way 😂
My mom was known for her white jeans. She died suddenly at 77. We buried her in her white jeans and a beautiful pink sweater my sister had given her as a Christmas present (the night before she died) at our family Christmas party. She would have loved our choices. ❤.
I've thought about tagging my own funeral outfit 100 times. I will now do it.😂
This is so important to talk about when you are not emotional. I see many next generations getting cremated. Just do direct to cremation. Don't have to choose an outfit and save thousands 🥰 Throw a party instead.🎉
That’s what we’re doing! Funerals and burials have gotten so out of hand these days! We have two sons who love us dearly, but honestly, live almost 4 hours away and will never visit the grave so why bother?! Ha!
Oh, Angela! The topic! Yep, it’s important. I want a close casket, but I definitely am picking the pictures they use in the memorial video! Something that is more important to me, and even though I am healthy and plan to live a long life, Lord willing, is declutterring my life. Have you heard of Swedish death cleaning? It’s the practice of decluttering your life so you don’t leave your loved ones with the burden of getting rid of all your things. I think it’s a thoughtful thing to do. I’ve helped friend and family go through deceased loved ones things, and it’s not fun.
Blessings to you, Angela!
After clearing out several close relatives houses I've been getting rid of most of my clutter. I'd never leave it to someone I love to have to do all that work and expense. My goal is to have pared down to essentials.
Angela I'm "dying on the floor " over this video! So many hysterical comments, have you ever thought of doing comedy? I was feeling blue today and this was just what I needed (ironically). I agree that you will look like "Angela " in the dress you picked out. Very cute.
My SIL asked my MIL what she wanted to wear for her funeral when she was literally hours away from dying. Probably was cutting it a bit fine..
I know a neighbor who
requested anyone who baked bring a loaf of homemade bread to her wake when she passed away. She was a great baker who taught many people how to make homemade bread. Thats what her friends did when she passed away. They all had bread in the family and friends side room at her wake. A friend of mine has everything planned and paid for from the funeral bill to the dinner. She has picked out her clothes, a singer and the song, and paid for her headstone. Caitlin Doughty on You Tube has interesting videos. She is a mortician. Great sense of humor. So many things I never thought about.
My Niece was hit by a car and killed. Maybe 50 years ago now…she was 8 they buried her in her mom’s wedding gown. It was so vey weird to me, actually upsetting…I said nothing…wish they would have had this video! 🤦♀️🤣🤣🤣 TRUE STORY
I’m being cremated so I don’t have to worry about it. But good info 😊
ya better share a video of hair and makeup routine with the family my mother WHEELED her mother in law outta the room cuz someone had parted her hair in the middle, slicked down her front wave and used bright red rouge 15 minutes later, gramma was rolled back in looking like gramma!!
When my mum died in 1976, the funeral director asked us for a photo of her so they would know how to style her hair. My mum was camera-shy, so we actually had a hard time finding a picture to give him, but we did find on that wasn't half-bad, but yes, along with your outfit, include a photo of how you want your hair to look. Your story is funny, and KUDOS to your mother for advocating for your gramma right to the end. Love it!
I don't want to have a viewing! I don't want people to look at me and say - "she looks good for a stiff." Just cook me and take me to the church in a little box. I am 78 so these things are being thought out. You don't need to worry about it now, you will change your mind fifty times over. 🤣
My sister was cremated, but hospice asked her husband to find clothes that she would want to be cremated in. He asked me if I would do it. It was an honor and privilege and showed respect for her. I’m unsure if they took them off of her before cremation, but we believed she was nicely covered.
lol I clicked so fast! But you are right…these things can be planned if you are so inclined, rather than leave it to others to think about for you😊
I know you would want to be in your jean jacket 😂❤
"Oh hell no, I wanna be comfortable." LOL... you're DEAD, you're not going to be "uncomfortable"! 😂
Exactly! 🤣
OMG!!!! Angela, I DON’T miss a video, gf, but this one had me ROFL! WOW! This one was NEEDED but hilarious, too! Leave it to you, too! It was perfectly done! The whole way through I was thinking “Angela would be buried in a pink something or other and a denim jacket!” 😂😂😂 Thanks for this one, friend! You did a great job! Love to you, the fam, and Bentley! Hugs!
What a fun and funny video, Angela!! It did cause me to think, however. Just send me to the crematorium in whatever I'm wearing when I die. Forget the "outfit" and save the money! After all, I'll be dead, and I promise I won't care one bit what my dead body has on, especially to be incinerated!
Our family all plan to be buried in our PJ’s - might as well be comfy!
My sister has really bad feet so she wants to be buried in stilettos
LOL, you made me laugh, I have on my will, No One will see me after I die, one person will ( if necessary ) goes to make sure it's me but the coffin will be closed and there will be no regular funeral, wrap me in bed sheet, for cremation will be just fine,...treat me nicely when I am alive...after it does not matter at all.
I agree! It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Choose something that you love. I love winter so I'd love to be buried in a Vermont ski sweater with corduroy pants. OR since I'm a Stevie Nicks fanatic my daughter could pick out one of the many outfits I've worn to one of her concerts. Have fun with it! I think it makes people smile and think of good memories when they see someone dressed like they remember them.
My mom’s favorite color was red so we buried her in her favorite red & black dress. She always told us to make sure she had shoes on too!! My BIL was buried in overalls,a cap & a pack of Red Man tobacco in his pocket!!🥰
When my best friend's mom was about to be buried we realized we should have included a pack of her favorite smokes and a good mystery book to go with her. God bless you Dottie!
My mom had cancer, and she decided to have a wake. While she was still alive. She wore the dress she wanted to be buried in. We had music, it was catered. Everyone invited just thought it was a party, only my siblings and myself knew it was Mama's goodbye party 😢.
When the time came, everyone said what a wonderful time it was to talk and tell stories and share wonderful memories with Mama❤
I didn't know people open caskets were a thing anymore. Morbid
I have been to 6 funerals in the past 3 years. All cremations with no viewing.
This was great and put a chuckle in my day! Thanks…..
What I am worried about is whatever I am buried in, will be my “ghost” outfit for all eternity? What if it is not something I like? 😂
Wow! Now there’s something to think about! Because I KNOW my husband would not pick out something good to “put me away in”! 😂
My husband is the same way!!🤣. I start to talk about it and I get the look and a 🤫. I agree with you I think I should pick out my outfit, readings and hymns. I’d like to hear Bye Bye Miss American Pie while watching a video of my life😊
If you’re on display in the south, so many viewers say “doesn’t she look good!” She’s dead for goodness sakes…
I can always count on your videos to make me smile or LOL! This one did both. (BTW, I love when you slip in the other voice." Cracks me up every time!)
Well...that was a different video. 😮 No open casket for me, no viewing, etc. My daughter & husband know this. 😅
I’ve never been to a funeral and thought, “wow, she looked bad in that blouse.” But I have wondered where they are spending eternity.
Well, now. I think I can say this is the first fashion video I've seen on this topic!! Thought provoking, but humorous at the same time. It will be interesting to see how many other influencers follow up with their own video on this topic. Thanks for being original!!
How timely!! Weird, even, because just last week I bought the most gorgeous urn anyone will ever have seen. I will be 78 in August and I never wanted to have a ‘viewing’ and be buried in a ‘box’ - so I want direct cremation. No embalming or any of that. Anyway, I lived in England for 15 years and fell in love with that time of my life. Ordinary urns all looked so, well ordinary. I wanted something from the UK, floral and pretty china if possible. I was just scrolling around online and BOOM! I came across this beautiful English China urn C1800! It is hand-painted with pastoral scenes and covered with all sorts of ceramic flowers, like on a wedding cake - roses, daisies, forget-me-nots, etc. The lid is a pretty pink rose. I want THAT to be my ‘last impression’! 🥰
I've got standards, even if I am dead. Lol. You are so funny. Love your videos.
This is hilarious but also true. Was going to be cremated but after reading the comments, I didn’t know you had to pick out an outfit… that complicates things lol 😂
Clothes for cremation might be if there is a viewing before. My husband passed in 2020, had an autopsy for health insurance reasons, then cremated. No special clothing required. My mom passed in 2002 and we dressed her in her favorite kimono for the viewing. Then she was cremated.
Oh my! I must say this is the first video I’ve ever seen on this topic! I had to laugh! My mother chose to be buried (no cremation for her!) in a peignoir and she had an open casket funeral! It was pretty, but that was also a first for me! She passed over 8 years ago and lived almost 91 years. Must say - she would have loved your video! She was a hoot! 😍
Wow Angela .. you're brave and cool ... I so agree .... how did you ever come to think of that ? Thank you for your time and sharing ....
lol, I’ve had this idea for awhile now but needed to work out the delivery so that it wouldn’t be depressing 😂👍🏻
I've never given this one second of thought, maybe because I plan to be cremated. But I think you can take it one step further and designate how they do your makeup. No blue eyeshadow and no clown cheeks!
Thanks for the laugh and for making me think...
You are too funny, but I already pick up the outfit. Blue and white dress.
Really enjoyed this video 😂. My Aunt who lived alone in a small town had everything written out on a large sheet of paper which she placed on her fridge with complete instructions in case she was found alone. This was such a comfort to me ( she had no children but we were close). We followed her instructions and I was at peace. P.S. no open casket for me so dress me in my underwear 😮🎉
I live alone with no family nearby. That is a great idea about putting instructions on the fridge. Thank you so much for the idea.
LOL thanks, I love this, you are so fun!. Yes, I will be cremated, so thanks for the heads-up on metal. PS: I think precious metal jewelry is for the living.
My mother grew up in rural Missouri and her father worked for JC Penny's farms. It was important for us to go to the local JCP to get an outfit for her.
When it came to shoes, I insisted on slippers. She looked so beautiful.
I'm going by cremation, so no clothing plans for me. They'll just get torched.
Great video. You covered it all in a cute red dress. I know you love pink but red is great on you.
You are hilarious! I love your humor in your vlogs!
Such an entertaining video, Angela! I just adore you 😊 I especially love the black and white slow motion parts 😂 I knew, without a doubt, the jean jacket would come into play! I was waiting to see the outfits your husband and son would've picked out for you. Their cameo at the beginning was so funny!
European people always have a specific outfit in a garment bag including shoes, bags, and jewelry. In the back of their closets. We usually get everything ready and paid for long before we need to do it.
Hey Angela, that was hilarious , but actually something to think about. 🌷
I'm gunna be cremated. So I don't care❤
People should have this conversation, if possible. Especially if they have specific ideas.
You look good in red.
I had unsubscribed all style videos.
But I missed you cuz you are so fun and you don’t harp on products or vendors. You are real.
❤
OMG Angela…thank you so much for the much needed laugh….”I have standards, even if I am dead” 🤣😂💖
This gave me a chuckle! Not a concern for me….CREMATION!
Nope! I’ve got three boys, they would just think…she’ll be comfy in sweats. 😂😂I’m picking my ever after outfit!
I totally knew you were going to pick that dress…so cute on you ❤
At that point who cares
Good topic! My grandma had her outfit picked out down to undergarments many years before her death. My brother in law was buried in his typical look of cargo shorts, collared short sleeve plaid shirt, athletic socks and gym shoes - which made for a light- hearted happy moment for the close family.
I’m dead on the floor here. Funniest video on RUclips! I want to wear my nightie to my event. It’s really cute and nobody ever gets to see it.
If it’s an open casket viewing, we were told an outfit with a high neck is required due to the embalming process.
love it! I am doing my planning now, and this is certainly something I didn't think of! I have had to pick outfits twice, and I did just what you said - I picked things they loved and wore often. Nothing fancy. It made me feel like I was honouring them. I especially laughed at your comment at 5.00 mins in... lol
I can't believe you did this, I really agree with your husband!! At 75, being cremated, done!
You're going to look back on this & wonder why?😮
I'm being cremated. I do not want a wake, so no one will see me. I want everyone to remember me as I was and not see me for the last time on a casket.
Lol! My MIL is 93, all she wears are house dresses! The only time she puts clothing on, is forthwith dr or dentist! I guess I'll have to pick her best nightgown!!
Sorry! I had to 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bravo for making this video. It is not a topic most people want to discuss but it needed to be said. Tastefully done. And it would lessen the burden on those left behind. I wonder... if other youtubers will now post similar topics. You may have started a new trend. Love your videos and sense of humor. (Hi Bentley!!!)
Hi Angela, this was just too funny! I need to get started on picking out MY outfit! There's not telling what my husband would pick out! Lol!
My mom picked out the dress she got married to my step father. Because it was a nice dress. So I would pick it out yourself. And tell your family what you want. I want to be cremated. So if they want a visitation for themselves. I don’t care. I will be died. My husband wants no visitation. But he’ll be dead. So I’m f I want t have one for the grandkids to see him. He can come back and haunt me. I had not thought about this. And I think it needs to be decided before something happens. I have the flu. And the capris and the cold shoulder top made me cough and laugh at the same time. You almost made me die.
I do not want a “viewing”. I prefer to be cremated so pick whatever. I like a skirt/skort and a top. Keep it simple. My hubby avoids this conversation anytime i have brought it up.
I sent my mom off in one of her favorite Chico dresses. I hope it pleased her.❤ It was actually one thing we never discussed in our pre planning talks. Strange, huh? Good video!!
My mother died of cancer in 2013. Shortly before her death, she hallucinated she was going to be a bride. She asked my sister to show her different outfits from her closet and she picked one. That is what we buried her in, her wedding dress to meet Christ, our Lord. I miss her.
Totally unusual subject but it was in good taste, so why not ? I think that my mom, dad and husband were cremated in their hospital gown. Funny that I never thought about it.... none of them wanted a viewing and it will be the same for me. Direct cremation.... I have not attended an open casket viewing in years.
Thank you for this very helpful video. If you plan on having a viewing, it's a very good idea to include information in your written plans about your clothing preferences. I was the one who bought a new outfit for my mother-in law when she passed. Thankfully, I knew her tastes and favorite color and that she would want to be dressed as if going to an event. It was my honor to do it, but I burst into tears when I took the outfit to the check out. I'm not planning on having a viewing but have included my preference as to a photo of myself at a memorial service.
Hahaha! You are so funny Angela. This was hilarious. If you live to be in your nineties, your outfit will be outdated. Hahaha! You’ll have to choose another outfit every few years, so you’ll be in style.
Omg!!! Are you serious now? Personally I even have to think about this. It is fashion important when you are dead?
I'm going to make it very easy.....I'm getting cremated. I don't want to have to worry about it; and I don't think I am going to care. You're video is hilarious though.
Right on Angela! I'm all about making my last appearance My Way! Just like the Frank Sinatra song!
Very practical and good advice. I wish my mom had picked her outfit out beforehand. You are funny as well~
My husband and I are being cremated..
All taken care of, lol !!
