Diehard DUers:
If you die precipitously, will someone let us know?
Do you have a plan when you die? Like burying vs. cremation, music at your sweeping memorial, attended by your hundreds of friends?
I do have an older friend who has it all choreographed, w/music and everything.
Inquiring minds...:evilgrin: :popcorn:

1. Well I am not one of the oldtimers
Although I have been here a while.
I don't want much for a funeral.
I'd rather have it while I am alive.
Anyone interested in sending me living memorials can pm me for my address.:evilgrin:

15. I will be flying into the Mystic. So I won't really give a damn.
But I will bet that Beth will throw a huge party.

And you are invited, 'sister.

19. I think the STBE would let you know, once he recovered from his
(forty minutes of) shock.

21. If anything happeed to me, I'm sure you'd all hear about it from flvegan
As for the rest, I intend to be dead when I die (though knowing my luck I could manage to botch this,) so whoever gets stuck with the bill can decide on the details, as I simply can't bring myself to care. The folks will probably want to do a Catholic funeral service, which doesn't really bother me though I'm not a believer as it's for their comfort and I won't know about it in any case. They can put me in a sack full of bricks and dump my corpse in the river after chanting a dark mass over it for all I care about the disposition of my rotting remains.
