Please don't do
that horrible custom of
viewing.
I have seen
more dead people than I want to.
Seal the coffin
that's the best.
Green funeral is better.
Don't let the funeral directors
talk you into, a pink satin-lined coffin with mirrors, the most expensive. It ain't Buddhist and it ain't necessary.
Remember "The American Way of Dying."
The cheapest box and cremation is best. If you don't need my DNA for later.
In the taxi she kept saying, "Christians can't be cremated. Christians can't be cremated. Have to wait for the Judgement Day."
But I'd rather not be laid to rest in Yay Way, so to minimize the risk, of dying there accidentally, I can minimize the time I might spend in the em country.
I only go to places where I have friends and I am not afraid of dying.
As a graduate student, student insurance covered
the cost of transporting
the remains home. Some were able to take
advantage of this.
As my father's long time student said,
"You can judge me
when
the four nails of my coffin are driven."
As my father said
"Best you remember me
as I was
when I was alive."
