I find funerals better than weddings today, as long as the old salt don’t want us to pay for it.
Cremate me and sprinkle my ashes in the tomater patch, So yall can eat me regularly! LOL
Take the saving and throw a wake!
Tell storys, spin yarns, smile.... If you don’t I WILL haunt you :)
I want a simple, church funeral. Then I want my family to have a great big party, with lots of seafood and belly dancers. I’m leaving the money for it in my will, and my oldest daughter already knows she has to arrange it.
In my extended family, it’s become customary have a very basic, nuclear-family, funeral when someone dies. Later, at a time and place convenient for the largest number, there’s a blowout “celebration of life” party.
