I alway's wanted to be buried, until I attended my first funeral, and then my second, one was burial , one was cremation, by far the cremation was easier on the grieving family, much quicker, and not so sad, there is something extra sad to me standing over the coffin being lowered down into the ground.

So it is cremation for me, I am not a morbid person, but I have left instructions for my family on exactly how I want my funeral, I figured we cannot always have what we want in life, so at least we can in death, (well hopefully).

I have it all planned,the colour of the hearse, the flowers, the music, yep SANTANA AND BARRY WHITE are gonna see me out, where it will be held etc etc.

After each funeral I have attended, I have changed my notes according to what I want.

I also hope that oneday my youngsters will take my ashes over to the land of my birth SCOTLAND, and scatter them in ELLON the village where I was born., it maybe the only way I will ever visit my birthplace lol.

I personally feel by leaving instructions, that can be carried out to the best of my family's ability, will help them, they won't have to make choices and decisions, they may not feel capable of, at the time, and it will make things easier for them all.

Anyhow just my thoughts, interesting topic.
