U know… I just hope that when we are clinically dead, we are totally dead ie. No awareness of the physical body remaining.

Coz, then I couldn’t care less wat happens to my body.

Just don’t display it naked.

Maybe, use it for organ donations

I don’t know who would show up to my funeral.

Probably not a lot of people.

I’m not so popular within my family circle

I’m only showing up at my own funeral…

a) If they have one against my wishes and
b) I come back as a poltergeist who can terrorize others

I can see it being worthwhile under certain conditions.

To grieve, lots of people grieve. Unless you’re at an Irish wake in case you should celebrate.

I’ve been doing that just fine since last March without needing a funeral to help.

Free food, I know it might sound morbid but we already say the best things about people when they die, even if they weren’t good people.

Nope. Still referring to my best friend as a bahstid. He was and is. He is also still my best friend, I just see it as us being separated by distance right now. I look forward to calling him names to his face again one day.

I completed the paperwork with the VA to be buried in the same cemetery as my mother and father are buried in. The cemetery is in NY, and I live in FL, so my body will be shipped FedEx Overnight.

I wish the VA would allow epitaphs on tombstones. I would like to write the same thing Rodney Dangerfield has on his: There goes the neighborhood.

I love that! Almost makes me want a headstone.

Almost.

I was thinking about this the other night. Cremation seems like the way to go. No mess just some ashes. If there’s an easier way I’d even take that.

It’s free to send mail to your local parliamentarian in Canada. I have asked my wife to mail chunks of me to MPs across the country. She is not quite on board with this yet.

When my dad died my stepmom rented the banquet room of a nice restaurant and invited his friends, relatives and other people who knew him to have lunch and whoever wanted to get up and talk about my dad could share some stories about him or say nice things about him. It was classy but very informal. There were about 25 people. A lot better than a creepy formal occasion in front of a casket in a church.

did you know…

bells were put into coffins in case the dead weren’t. It’s a dead ringer.
people were hired to listen for such bells ringing. Hence the graveyard shift.
