With the passing of my mother a couple of weeks ago, after going through all the funeral arrangements, it became evident to me to make sure that my death wish was documented and taken care of in advance. By doing this, my children will not have to deal with the decisions and expenses associated with the funeral. Also this way my wishes will be honored and I will head off to wherever the fuck we head to the way I want to head there.
Yes I know you all think this is long overdue for me as many of you think “my time” is just around the corner. But as I have said often, I’ll outlive most of you.
So what is your “Death Wish”? How would you like to go? What do you want your funeral to be like? Cremation or worm food?
I plan to be shot by a jealous husband or boyfriend (Come on, would you have expected anything else?) Actually, I envision cancer or some hideous illness to kill me. When I go, my instructions are to have me cremated and my ashes placed in a Folgers coffee can with some grounds left in the can so that I can take some coffee with me. My son then has instructions to take my remains and sprinkle them into a lake in the very Northwest corner of Wisconsin, where he and I have muskie fished for years. I then can spend eternity searching the lake for that record muskie that got away.
