While I haven't planned my funeral, my best friend did prior to her death from cancer. She left explicit instructions. SHe wanted her obituary to read that she had died from cancer, because she didn't want anyone to think that after 4 years of chemo she had been hit by a bus. She threatened to come back and haunt us all if Amazing Grace was played, especially on bagpipes. And she said, "you know how they always say 'in lieu of flowers"? Fuck that. I want flowers. loads and loads of flowers."
In retrospect, having her let us know these things made it easier for us to handle the details of her funeral. Also, having her voice in our heads telling us what to do was reassuring.
man, this subject sucks. can we talk about something more fun now?
