Sad news dear reader.

It seems that Ozzy Osbourne just died.

It’s shocking really. Given his lifestyle and the stunts he pulled on stage, I’m surprised he lasted this long. I guess not everyone can be a member of the 27 club.

But given his love of darkness and horror, I’m curious about what his funeral would be like.

Right?

So dear reader it behooves us all to ask ourselves, when it comes to end of life preparations, what would Ozzy do?

My guess?

He’ll go pure vanilla, cremation then some sort of ornate Victorian looking urne.

Something tasteful for his ashes…

I guess, given how many records he sold, he earned a nice container somewhere.

Though there is a small part of me that wishes he and everyone had their ashes stuffed in a chock full of nuts coffee tin like Donnie in The Big Lebowski, I’ve had some other fantasies about Ozzy’s burrial.

Most of which?

They are how I imagine Vikings or other great warriors would go.

Righ?

Ozzy bit the head off bats.

He could be fed to dogs and it would be fittin…
