Actually, I'm not getting one at all.
My family are and were heathens.
None of us have had a traditional burial with a christ priest and a consecrated grave yard.
We have, at least at far back as my grand folks, donated our dead bodies to the anatomical institute, where those studying to be surgeons, forencic experts etc. work on dead bodies.
My parents went that way and so shall I.
When you are dead, you are dead.
No reason for a lot of praise the lord shit.
Or any other kind of shit for that matter.
Funerals aren’t for you, they’re for the people you leave behind. A way of marking, celebrating and putting a line under your death.
They are important, nearly all the funerals I’ve been to were sad but strangely healing for the rest of us, a chance to confront our mortality and assess the importance of family and friends.
