I want a proper visitation for the elderly ppl and more proper ppl that know me, then I want to be cremated and put into an Etch-A-Sketch (so the grandkids can still play with me whenever they want) and then I want my not so proper friends to have a party outside with refreshments for the grownups, bbq, clowns/games/ponyrides etc and pop/chips/pizza for the kids...music dancing and lots of laughter!! and TONS of hugs for my kids...

LOL i actually said that to my husband and he was NOT happy with me...My son was a little bothered by it too at first but now its a standing joke between the kids and I....however they are trying to decide if I should be split into two different Etch A Sketch's so I'll always be available in each of their houses LOL
thanks for best response btw...and glad I could give you a giggle...:-D

well if you had a good life I know that they will be laughter funny stories and music and remembrance of the good times but thats also the reason why there will be sadness and tears at because losing some one you love comes with a great degree of sadness.

I agree that there will my sadness at the loss, but I don't want people lost in that sorrow. I want them to remember me with smiles and laughter, not tears.

There should be time to all a person to grieve over the loss of a family member or friend. Grieving is part of the healing process.
Once the service is over many join the family for a luncheon where they share memories.

I want them to celebrate my life and also to rejoice my being with Jesus. I want them to remember the good times. I also want them to know that it will be more of a "good bye for now" type of thing. We will all be together in Heaven one great Day!!

I plan to be cremated with no ceremony at all. We don't do that kind of stuff in my family.
