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?”

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

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.
Guess I can't die.

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.

I used to say "bury me head first up to my waist and use the crack of my ass for a bicycle stand" but the closer that day comes the less I am committed to the view.....
