This Appealed To My "Warped" Sense Of Humor

One of the guys I work with, who is in his mid-60's, received the following post card at home the other day. (Gee, and I was offended when AARP started sending me literature when I hit 50.)

Actually, I found this to be both humorous and a pretty neat marketing idea. I'm sure others will disagree, and that's okay. I believe my colleague agreed, albeit he did find the choice of meeting places a bit "odd."

For me, I think pre-planning one's funeral is the way to go. I'm getting ready to do it. I have very "specific" things I want and "don't" want when I go "toes-up" and the only way to ensure my wishes are followed is to put it in writing. I've told my brothers...no fuss, no muss. Just put me in the ground beside Mom & Dad and go on with your lives.

I don't want a funeral. The thought of people parading by...looking at me...gives me the willies. I have told my family and friends if they do that to me, I will come back and haunt them...each and every one. And I will, too.

I think thats a pretty good way of getting the point across, certainly makes you take notice.

We have 'natural' funerals here, where you can be buried in a wicker casket in a wooded area..I think I'd like that..I could be useful for a while after I die

I like that idea, Eliza. I like it very much...the idea of "giving back" after one's gone.

Love it - and I don't want any fuss either; just Elvis singing 'Good Rockin' Tonight' at full volume, and my ashes 'set free' on my favourite beach in Northumbria in North East England.
