Tell me what you really think.
Funeral rituals are strange in almost every culture. I don't think we have a clue what to do with death.

Heh.
Pass the ice, m'kay?
Yesssssssssss!!!!!!!!!
My directive is to have clown noses passed out at the door. As ridiculous as everyone would look, they would look even more ridiculous crying like that. That's if there is anything left of me. I told my husband to sell me off for parts.
I completely agree. It was so weird being at the funeral-- you feel like if you smile hello at someone, you're being bad, but then there's all these social cues that we just can't figure out. Pffht! We're working on the Viking Funeral Pyre. (Self-immolating wife NOT included).
I want lots and lots of flowers-not gladiolas or funeral arrangements- but beautiful bunches of flowers all over the place. And then I want everyone to have to sit and listen to Tom Waits sing Somewhere. Then the party.
Have you read Bodies in Motion and At Rest by Thomas Lynch? A great read-esp., the chapter called Y2Kat. He's a local mortician from my neck of the woods and National Award winner. Laugh out loud funny.
