Default Party Time

My husband and I want to be cremated. I would really like to donate my body first so they can document what actually happens to a body who has drank Diet Coke for over 45 years.

We want our family/friends to have a party and enjoy a celebration of life. I had a Celebration of Life Service for my mother when she passed away from cancer three years ago in a church where I grew up. Guess I forgot to tell my three kids who got up and talked before I did what a Celebration entailed. So they will be clear when I part to get out the beer, wine, and have a barbecue. I will be there in spirit!

Imagine that I will be the last in generations who left flowers on the graves at Christmas and Memorial Day. I am thinking about planting a flower bush that will bloom each year instead. Our cemetery in Missouri allows that.

We are headed on a cruise next month. I saw an ER show last night on TV where the husband had died on the second day of the cruise. The wife told them to keep him on hold as she was going to finish the cruise. Can't say that I blame her. Wonder if you can put in your will to have a ocean drop if you happen to die on the cruise???
