it’s interesting in our society and you
know how we do things you know we plan
for so many life celebratory events we
plan for a wedding we plan for a baby we
plan for a graduation from high school
from college we plan for our career but
the one thing that’s guaranteed in life
is our death but nobody wants to take
the time to plan it I’m actually trying
to get people to open up their mind and
realize that a death is a part of life
and just as you are making choices in
life on how you want to live your life
you have those same opportunities to
make those choices of how you want to
die and how you want your funeral to be
what you want done with your body
afterwards I’ve come across many people
during their dying day that basically I
said don’t cry for me at my funeral
laughs you know share wonderful stories
and I and I think that people are really
trying hard to take the sadness out of
the funeral as much as possible and
trying to say you know celebrate the
life I live celebrate that I was
actually here a funeral is a time to
mourn to grieve I’m not I’m not trying
to I’m not trying to take that away
because that is very much an innate
feeling that resides in us all and we
all have to have it you have to grieve
you have to more but you can also
celebrate and you can laugh and you can
reflect and have memories and
so the funeral is that time to really
just bring it all together
I embrace death I deal with death on a
daily basis and it’s just it is really
part of who I am and I know one day I
will die and when I do I want to be
cremated and I want to I want to do in
death the same as I did in life I want
to do as much as I can I want to be half
of my ashes will go to Arlington
National Cemetery because I’m a soldier
and a veteran and I want my great great
grandchildren to be able to one day walk
into that cemetery and say this was my
great great grandmother and then the
other half of me I want to just do as
much as I can and I will leave
instructions for my children allow them
to to people portion of me in a keepsake
if they so desire if that’s what brings
them comfort I want to be turned into a
diamond I want to go into outer space I
want to go and become a coral reef I
want to be incorporated into a painting
thankfully my daughter’s like tattoos so
one of them can put me into their tattoo
so I want to do as much as I can and I’m
hoping that I won’t be dying for a while
and when I do hopefully there’ll be a
lot more technology out there that has
you know come to the forefront and
there’ll be more things I can do
you
