Mrs C: Sorry for the delay in responding to your post. (I've just had major problems with my PC and had to reinstall Windows).
The provisions of a will, with regard to funeral arrangements (or the lack of them), are not binding on anyone. You could put it in your will that you want to be interred (and even pre-pay for it) but, if your relatives (or whoever else arranges your funeral) decide that your body should be cremated, their wishes will prevail.
So I certainly hope that nobody will hold a funeral for me, but I can't guarantee it. (If I had my way, it would be a criminal offence to arrange, or attend, a funeral for anyone. They're an utter waste of time and should be banned by law).

I know you feel strongly about it Chris. I think you mentioned before, but will you tell me again - are you an only child? 'Cos I was thinking, don't you think your family would want a little get-together to celebrate your life?
I know what you mean about a waste of money. I'd prefer a cardboard coffin for myself, and let the cash go to a better cause - my own preference being an animal charity.

Caledonia by Dougie Maclean

I'm very proud of my Scottish roots. The lyrics to this song are just perfect to me.
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home.

Hi again, Mrs C.
Yes, I'm an only child (and I'm frequently told that it's obvious!).
Family? My attitude towards them is summed up by a sign I saw outside a house recently;
"Friends are always welcome. (Family strictly by appointment only)"
I can't stand anyone on one side of my family (and they feel even more strongly about me). I get on reasonably well with my relatives on the other side of my my family but I very rarely see them. (It's typically 5 to10 years between our paths crossing).
I don't really believe in the concept of families (except possibly where young children are concerned). I'd recommend that most people should walk out of their homes, as soon as they're old enough to do so, and never see their parents or siblings again (and never have any further contacts with any other relatives unless, by chance, they happen to be friends). It works for almost every other species on the planet, so why shouldn't it work for us?

Hi Chris!
Awww, no. I'm sure that when I'm old and grey my children'll still be as happy to see me as I will be to see them.
I appreciate your opinion, but in my case, family comes first. We're very close-knit, even though we might not get together as often as we'd like to.
I don't want my children to be sad when I die - but I think they will be. I'll miss my own mum terribly when she goes, because she's always been there for us in times of upset or worry, and always shown support and encouragement. Without her nurturing, and understanding, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today. I've learnt a lot from both parents, and they'll always be ib my heart.

Icey: There's a guy (Dax) who I regard as my own son. (Long story about a relationship with his mother many years ago. Dax is 33 now). I love him dearly but I deliberately keep a certain amount of distance away from him and his family because I want him to to devote his attentions to his wife and 3 year old son (and to largely ignore me).
Mrs C: I assure you that I'm not 'winding you up'.
Barmaid: Er, isn't your choice of song rather defeatist for a barrister? If I was engaging your services, I'd hope that you'd be able to fight the law and that you would win! ;-)
