Discussion Have you made plans for your body and funeral?

[Wisdom3_1-9]

My Last Will and Testament contains very specific instructions regarding my funeral and final resting place. I've selected all the readings and all the music for the funeral liturgy, and I've requested cremation and burial in a specific cemetery in a place of significance to me.

I don't know why it's so important to me, but it is. I mean, I'll be dead and won't get to experience any of it, nor do I really have control over it, but still... I guess it's just how I want my send-off to be. Especially if I ctb, I think the funeral will be an important act of closure for my family. It's like it's my final message to them.

I am pretty indifferent as to what happens with my body or what my funeral looks like. It might be a burden to leave my family without any instructions whatsoever, but i feel like in my situation its the best to let them decide. Afterall they are the ones who might need the whole funeral ritual - not me.
