Funerals
When I die, yes that is it I am going to die. I will not pass over or pass on I will rest assuredly die. It may be comforting for some people to look up at the sky and say there she is looking down on us. No people I am dead, not in heaven, not having afternoon tea with old friends who have died before me. I will be dead. Anyway, when I die I do not want people to eulogise me and tell everyone what a wonderful person that I was. I am not going to be someone's angel, or some sweet lovely person that everyone liked. I refuse to be sugar coated. I want people to say what they really feel. They should say that I could be grumpy, selfish, bad tempered, self absorbed and so on and etcetera. I want people to say things like I don't want to be a pall bearer as she is so fat we can't lift her out of the hearse. I expect that the funeral director at least hire a fork lift to do the job. I see it now the yellow fork lift decorated with black ribbons. That would show enough reverence for me. I was planning on having a cardboard coffin but someone told me they they are not the cheapest, so I have decided on a nice thin wooden coffin hidden by a nice rosewood cover with silver handles. I am tossing up whether to be buried with a Catholic Mass or just wheeled over the Main North Road and left at the gates of the Smithfield cemetery. Come to think of it what would I care what is done with my used old carcass? And to that I answer 'nothing at all' because I will be dead.
