Just In Case

In my sociology of death and dying class our final project is to fill out all of the necessary paper work for if I were to die. One thing that I had to write were my funeral wishes. I thought I would share them with you. I emphasize cheap quite a bit because I am completely flabbergasted at the average cost of a funeral, which is around $20,000. That much just to drop a body in the ground. That's disgusting. Well, I hope you enjoy.   

Upon my death I would like my body to be taken care of in the cheapest form fashionable at the time. If cremation is the cheapest option then let that be the way you dispose of my body. If burying my body is the cheapest option and you would have the desire to view my body then please bury me in blue jeans, my old worn blue chuck taylors and a gray tee shirt. Please find the closest and cheapest body disposal service place (mortuary, crematorium, memorial society, etc.) to prepare my decaying carcass. Whatever my remains may be, whether a body or ashes, use the cheapest means possible in which to contain my dead body. Use at most, two thousand dollars from my bank account and I hope my dead body process costs no more than that. If you want to send me flowers then go right ahead, just know that I wont personally thank you for them, so don’t waste your money. Please take my remains and dispose of them in the cheapest way possible, even if it means throwing my ashes in the trash can. My grave marker should say my name, life in years lived and should read “Hi, How are you?”. If you want to view my rotting carcass then go ahead but only if it can be done for free. If it cost an arm and a leg to have a viewing then gladly donate one of mine to pay for it. My memorial service should involve none of that sad crap, but songs of worship and praise in modern fashion. Matt Davis will be in charge of arranging the music to be played at the service. Let whoever wants to speak at the service to do so. I give the job of making sure all of these wishes are carried out to, Robin J. Holtom. Please all be happy because I am now with Christ and you are not so that sucks for you, but I am waiting for you. God is Love and Love is Real.

Intentionality

 That is where
I
Must Start
If
I Want
To be
What I
Have been
Called
To Be

Ready...

Set..

False Start
Get back on the line

Lets try this
Again.
