Making Funeral and Burial Arrangements

Reiko: When I die, I want a big Funeral. The more Mourners the better!

Lucas: Not me. I’m just the opposite. I don’t want any kind of funeral or Wake. I just want to be Cremated and have my Ashes scattered.

Reiko: What? You don’t want to be Buried in a beautiful Casket with a big Headstone? Better yet, how about being Interred in a Mausoleum?

Lucas: You’ve got to be kidding me! Why would I all want all of that Hoopla? I’m dead. What difference would it make to me?

Reiko: It’s not for you. It’s for the mourners. Having a ceremony and a burial will help them Grieve.

Lucas: Not my friends and family. The less Fuss the better for them. Most of my family is buried in simple Gravesites in Non-denominational cemeteries.

Reiko: What’s the fun in that?

Lucas: I think you’re forgetting one thing: we’re talking about death. It’s not supposed to be Fun and games!
