Joan Rivers Joked About What She Wanted For Funeral

Joan Rivers, who died on Thursday at the age of 81, had obviously been concerned about death for a while.  



In her 2013 bestseller "I Hate Everyone…Starting With Me" Rivers joked about death, her will and the luxurious funeral she wished.

The legendary comedian wrote: "When I die (and yes, Melissa, that day will come; and yes, Melissa, everything’s in your name), 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."

She added: "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 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 Beyonce's."

While Rivers' demands are hilarious, her passing has undoubtedly been awfully sad and lots of celebrities have since honored the iconic comedian.


Rivers' actual funeral is scheduled for Sunday in New York.
