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.
Amen.
Sprinkle my ashes on the tomato patch. so yall can eat me...
