Today is funeral home day. I feel very at home as I know the owner/director personally...again excited in a weird way to get this all set up and in order.We chose my coffin and I will be making my own purple pillow since all the linings are white.
I decided on cremation as it is the least expensive. There will be music, photos and other paraphenalia in the room. We have decided on 2 viewings, an afternoon and an evening.
I also called the monument place and we spoke about what I wanted on the stone niche.I feel very at ease with everything we have accomplished.

My sweet, I think this is wonderful! Not that you are planning to leave us, but that you are getting to make sure that everything is how you want it. Me being the chronic planner would want to do the same. All my love, always.
ReplyDeleteI know it has to put your mind at ease to be able to do all this so your family won't have to make those decisions, plus it will be the way you want it ;). I know this may sound weird, but I think cremation is a "cleaner" way, or more pure, if that sounds right? When dad died we buried him--picked out the coffin, suit, put pictures in his breast pocket, the whole 9 yards. It gave us comfort at the time, but now I wish (and I think mom did too, in later years) that we'd cremated him. Kind of morbid talk I know, hope I'm not offending you <3. Anyway, I'm glad you're at peace, & like everyone else I hope it is many many years before these decisions have to be put into use <3. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you got all this accomplished but I really hope it's a long, long time until you need to use it.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you got this accomplished but hope it's a very long time before you need it. I think it's neat that you will be watching over the babies it fits you perfectly. ((((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're getting all that taken care of, Velda. My dad did the same and it was so comforting to know we were doing what he wanted. {{hugs}}
