I haven't actually made the arrangements but I have made my request known to my family. The funeral is not important to me. What is important is the get together I want them to have in my honor afterwards.
I want them to celebrate my life not mourn my passing.
I want to be buried, not cremated. My funeral will be non-religious. They will play "Suicide Is Painless", and all my pets will attend.
Just a quick service if I meant that much to you you'll make it if you don't then what did it matter. I don't care what I. M wearing as I won't know anyway.
My body is going to science, so I don't have to worry about that. When they are done with it, they cremate the remains and either give them back to your family for burial, or bury it in a special memorial garden they have for body donors. I have made it clear to my kids that I do not want a funeral, because people who never cared about you in live show up in droves to pretend to mourn and eat free food.
I was totally shocked by the number of people who showed up at my father's funeral who I had never met, yet they were talking about what a good friend he was. I'll just let my kids avoid that whole bunch of crap. I don't want a marker either.No use having a grave no one is going to take care of.
I haven't even thought about it. I'm 21. I really hope that I'm not going to be dying for another couple of decades, at least.So why would I even think about what I'm going to wear to the grave?
It'd just depress me to think about it. (And on a practical note, I wouldn't even know what fashions are around then!) This is a different question, of course, for people who are older than me and for whom this is not such a remote possibility. But for me?
I'm too busy living life.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
