Those categories will have many theists in serious trouble. Luckily, for them and everyone else, there is not one shred of objective evidence we can survive the death of our brains in any meaningful way. What did the Hitch say when asked what he though happens after you die, he smiled, and said "nothing I suspect, it's just "Hell Darkness My Old Friend"...then laughed.
I don't want a funeral, and don't care if there is one, as it's the one party thrown for me I definitely won't be able to attend, but if I was planning one, that Simon & Garfunkel classic would be my choice of music, and "The End" by the Doors, then Monty Pythons "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life"....
The only food would be devilled eggs...
Dress code would be left to each person.
Strictly no religion whatsoever, though I do have a weakness for one or two hymns mind, but there's a fucking time and a place for all that..
