My father died at age 92 and my mother is going strong (if a little batty) at 91 so I should last a while longer yet, but as I drive around 5000 miles a month I think a car crash is the most likely way I will go.
I have told people that I want a non religious funeral with the cheapest coffin available (no point wasting good drinking money on worm food)
I was thinking of having them play Hugh Laurie's "Changes" from his Didn't it rain CD and then as people leave "Always look on the bright side of life" by Monty Python.
I am looking for other suggestions of music, readings or just ideas to lift the gloom. I want something to celebrate life not dwell on death
Isn't it cheaper to get cremated? Not that you necessarily want the cheapest funeral, but the part about "cheapest coffin available" makes me think you'd want to be frugal with this.
