Deer at the salt lick
Psalm 90 says we have three score and ten years upon the earth - maybe four score. This last year I read obits for three people in my high school graduating class. Figured while I still have some money and haven't yet lost my faculties I should set up my funeral. I bopped down and had a meeting this morning w/ the funeral director in town. I'd read up on pre-paying options but got his take on the pros and cons. Then we went through what I would want included in a funeral. He chuckled when he was going over container options and I asked if he didn't have something more recyclable. Yes! He does! Anyway, didn't take very long to get everything on paper. I commented that it was an easy process and he replied it was since I knew what I wanted. It was also much less expensive than I thought (cardboard isn't as pricey as mahogany). I bopped over to the bank and everything is setup and paid for. I can also write my obituary and pick readings & songs - just e-mail them to him and he'll put them in my file. Think I will wait on those. At the moment I'm liking the song "Sloop John B". Either I need to give this process more gravitas or I'm too late on the 'losing my faculties'.
