Re: Funeral proceedings preferred
Not uncommon to think about it. I have been a lot lately, but mainly because I've been depressed and thinking about traintracks and high bridges, neither of which are pleasant enough for me to keep considering. So I guess I just grin and bear it for the moment.
I at once had a preferred place of burial, Japan, but my obsession has long been over. Thank God! We've all done some weird things in the name of that.
The second closest preferrence was near a certain beach, but the reasons are shallow I assure you (*Pun intended*).
At this point, the place of burial isn't really that important to me. If I die for any reason, I probably will have died without any real connection to any real person, place, or thing. If this changes, it'll happen a long time from now.
I also believed in a resurrection, but also that I wouldn't come back looking the same. So, I once wanted to be cremated, and requested that my family retain the ashes for as long as possible, and dump them out "when the time comes." I still believe in a resurrection, but I'm pretty sure God can bring us back looking the same. Heck, if twins can look the same, God can make us look the same, even without the same DNA.
Then, too, I hate what I look like anyway, and can't believe I once fretted over not being the same after death! I want to come back taller, bluer-eyed, so that maybe I might have a girlfriend one day. Oh, and marriage, too.
