party time

I recently attended a two part series, by Zoom of course, on planning your own funeral.  Now, I'm not planning on leaving this world any time soon but the idea of the classes was that it's a real help to your family to have some things planned out ahead of time.  I've been feeling ok about my funeral plans for the last several years because I have prepaid for my funeral and have a space reserved in our church's columbarium.  Now, suddenly, I'm aware of many other decisions I need to make.  

What do I want to be wearing when I'm cremated?  Seriously, some funeral homes require the corps to be dressed.  Maybe something polyester that would flame up fast.  Too bad I don't still have one of my old Century 21 blazers.  

Do I want to write my own obituary?  Maybe not a bad idea.  I could make it really good,  

Favorite hymns, favorite pre and postludes, what theme would I like for my memorial service?  Theme?  Dance party? Circus? Haunted House?  Harry Potter?  Camping?  

Do I want to make special bequests?  Do I have anything anyone wants? 

And on and on it goes.  20 pages and many notes later I am feeling like maybe I'll just let my kids or grandkids make all the decisions.  They could probably throw a really good party, and if they don't I can come back and haunt them.
