Joan's Funeral Requests from her 2012 book

Aw, Joanie...this made me laugh...as she intended! What a comedienne!:

Joan River’s funeral requests written in her 2012 book, I Hate Everyone…Starting With Me. Meanwhile it’s been revealed that her funeral will take place on Sunday September 7th at the Temple Emanu-El in New York. See some more memorable quotes from the book after the cut…

On what she wants for her own funeral

“When I die, I want my funeral to be a huge showbiz affair with lights, cameras, action…I want Craft services, I want paparazzi and I want publicists making a scene! I want it to be Hollywood all the way. I don’t want some rabbi rambling on; I want Meryl Streep crying, in five different accents. I don’t want a eulogy; I want Bobby Vinton to pick up my head and sing “Mr. Lonely.” I want to look gorgeous, better dead than I do alive. I want to be buried in a Valentino gown and I want Harry Winston to make me a toe tag. And I want a wind machine so that even in the casket my hair is blowing just like Beyoncé’s.”

Leave it to Joan to make us laugh Smiley Happy

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Some people just can't be replaced and Joan is one of them. She could always make me laugh no matter how down in the dumps I was. I just can't believe she is gone. I doubt if Melissa can pull of this kind of funeral but I am sure will try every way she can to keep it true to her Mother's personality. I am sure she is just devastated so that will be quite a chore. We love you Joan.
