What Joan Rivers wanted at her funeral

Dina RickmanSep 05, 2014 Pioneer female comic Joan Rivers died yesterday age 81. Here is what she said she wanted at her funeral in her book I hate everyone.. Starting with Me. 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. 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 Beyonce's.Joan Rivers H/T Hollywood Reporter More: Joan Rivers on life, death and controversial comedy
