At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral

One more funeral related post, then I'll quit. I swear.

There's obviously been a lot of funeral talk this past week. Here's what my kids have said they want to have happen when they die.

Tortellini: I want to be cremated and then have my ashes put into somebody's mailbox.

Togers: I want to be cremated and then have my ashes thrown at someone I hate*.

Mr M: I want you to take my body and throw it off a cliff, because that would be an easier way to bury me. And I don't want my funeral to be fun like Grandma Great's was with food and everything. I just want there to be a whole bunch of dead chickens, and everyone has to eat them raw.

So there you have it. With any luck, I won't still be around when they go and someone else will have to carry out their wishes.








*I asked Togers who he was going to find that would be willing to throw his ashes at someone, and Mr M immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll do it."

Mine is sort of like Mr. M's, but instead of eating dead raw chickens, people would have to eat my dead raw body.

In some cultures throwing ashes at someone you hate might be seen as a sign of respect. Just sayin', your kid might not be all that wrong.

I hope Togers appreciates his little brother willing to lend a helping hand! I'll bet Mr M has good aim, too.

I bet Mr. M would sell Toger's ashes as a self-defense weapon that can be thrown in an opponent's eye to get the upper hand in a fight...

I will not agree on it. I think warm-hearted post. Particularly the appellation attracted me to be familiar with the unscathed story.
