crete,
4getmenot has been zapped (or delayed) again and has emailed me asking if i can post her reply on here.
she says:
"Yep I have a list of songs, who gets jewellery, who carries my coffin, who gets my dairies, what I want to wear and what goes in with me. The reason for this is I have had far too many friends pass away young and sat there thinking, they wouldn�t have wanted this song at all, (usually what the girlfriends chosen) Its not morbid its just how you would like to be remembered"

Not morbid at all crete, Both me and my hubby have chosen our song/hymns. We also looked to the future and organised a funeral plan so when "The time" comes for one of us, the other just has to contact the undertaker and they do everything even down to the flower's if specified. All we had to do was choose our "Orange boxes",did'nt like that bit but it had to be done. My choice..Amazing Grace,The Old Rugged Cross and The Lord's My Shepherd.
I'm not just picking the funeral, but the wake, and a week's worth of tunes on the jukebox down the local. I'm then dividsing up all my CD's in my will, and forcing them on people who I think could do with a bit more taste. I'll announce via video from beyond the grave, that these should all be played on both my birthday and dying day as a rememberance. That's going to really nark everyone.
Mr Overall & our offspring all have a list of songs I want playing at my funeral, and there's not a hymn in sight. I've stipulated no black clothes...I want people to have a good time and hopefully celebrate my life rather than mourn my death.
I too want cremating and my ashes scattering at sea. I'd then like my first husband ('The Swine') to be invited to dance on my grave.
