Re: Funerals
 

How true.
My Mum was relatively young when she died,49,and i was only 14 and feel like i missed so much and her too,today for example,getting married without her around:(
On the other hand my Grandad is 91,quite ill at the moment and keeps saying hes had enough and just wants to go to sleep,i don't know if i will shed a tear when he dies because he has had a great life but is suffering now and just want him to be at peace.
Funny how things turn out

There you go Eric.

At my Mothers funeral She had, 'Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye',

It made me smile.:)

Re: Funerals
 

Yes, I didn't mean it to sound like I'm heartless when it comes to deaths of older people - my Grandad died eight years ago and I still go away sometimes and have a cry about it (the other week when we were talking about songs that mean a lot to us, for example!). I still haven't been able to listen to the link that Less posted for me.

I think what I meant was that when it's an older person you can celebrate their life, you have many generations of a family there who are recognising the wisdom and love that has been passed on to them. When it's a younger person (for example the woman I knew who had two young children) it just feels plain wrong to be at their funeral.

Re: Funerals
 

I had a funeral on my mind about 7am last Tursday when they loaded me into an ambulace and carted me off to the Royal, but I'm back to carry on for a little while longer:D
I've given things a lot of thought this week, like I'm going to be nice to very one on Accy Web from now on, except one:D No its not you Tory hatting Mancie:p
I've restated that I don't want burying, its the fire for me, and there has to be no black at my funeral:( I want everyone to be happy not sad:D:D:D
my three songs would be Stairway to Heaven, Sunshine of your love, Cream, and the third the families choice
By the way my ashes are going to be scattered at Great Yarmouth, I love the place, its like Blackpool without the dirt:D

Re: Funerals
 

I started to worry when I was moved to my new flat,It's in between my Doctors and the Funeral Directors.With this in mind I arranged to be cremated at Darwen Cemetary as there is a bus every 20 mins.from Accy.That passes the bottom of my street.(always the thoughtful one)
