    I kind of like the idea of being sheparded off by those guys somebody posted a few months ago, the pallbearers who danced while holding the coffin.

    Now, I wonder what music I want them to dance to . . . ?

      I want the Brahms Requiem send off - live of course.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I thought when they requested his internal organs, it was a nice touch. We didn't give them to them. Don't know what the funeral home did...

        Please tell me you said “Y’all don’t look like transplant surgeons, can you show me your UNOS credentials?”

            Not me. I want something like 'Thriller' or "Stayin Alive' or 'Dancing Queen' or 'Jump' or 'Money for Nothing' or . . . gads, there are so many great choices.

                    When you have a fat black woman with yellow hair who is suffering from dwarfism making the style statements, who are we to question her taste......

                      There is a lot of talk about closure and finality. Personally, I have never had any trouble believing someone is dead. Seeing their makeup caked corpse never helped in any way. Quite the opposite. I'd prefer to remember them when they were vibrant and alive.

                      I also never found a spouse or family member who said the funeral reduced their grief.

                      I think there is a value in gathering to reconnect after a death, especially in the case of the death of a spouse. You have been connected to the community as a couple, and now that has changed. Renewing those connections as a single person seems valuable.

                      Myself, I'm entertaining the idea of being wrapped around a newly planted tree. I'd much rather my descendants see and visit a living, helpful, beautiful tree than some cold stone.

                        Since the decomposing body expels gasses, that might be an even worse idea than you currently think.

                        Or better, if you have Phibes' sense of humor.
