tenniels

I just want to be cremated. And I don't want a headstone either. I don't understand the concept of taking up space once you're already gone, I would feel selfish. I actually want a tree planted somewhere where my family can go to remember me if they feel the need (and my ashes along with it). At least a tree is useful, whereas a headstone is not. I want it to be one of those annoying trees too that is always dropping sticky things or buds, so people think, oh that Tenniel tree haha. I'm serious about the cremation and tree thing though. And then everyone could stand around outside, say what they want, play a few songs that I want played, drink beer and BBQ or something. Oh and maybe they could but Christmas lights in the tree, no matter the season, that would be nice. Or maybe they could plant a pine or spruce tree, let it get big and use it for Christmas one year. So many different options really. What a great topic. I wouldn't mind recording something though, just to thank everyone and let them know I love them. Funerals/memorials are really for the ones left behind anyways. I've asked my mum (the person I'm closest with) to write me a letter for incase she dies (before me) telling me it's okay to go on, not sure if I could otherwise. Don't know if anyone would need the same from me at some point in the future. Well I have sufficiently babbled and shall quit now! Oh, but before I am cremated my organs have to be donated if they are useable, and then they can just get rid of the rest through cremation.
