@indigo I would prefer a party to a funeral. Have a barbecue, some good music, some beer and wine, and people can tell stories if they wish. Then everyone can go home in a good mood.
@indigo People get very particular about funerals. I keep telling my wife that she should do whatever she wants if I go first, because it won't matter to me at that point. ;-)
@indigo It was a first for me too. The last family funeral was a quick interment of ashes in a columbarium in Colma, where everyone in San Francisco ends up (since cemeteries are verboten in SF).
@matigo Enough so that it's a Thing. Video of the service is a common part of the package, and since many people have family scattered all over, putting it where it's easily accessed makes sense.
You just have to know how to rip a DVD, and it's easy-peasy after that.
Life in the 21st Century: currently uploading video of my mother-in-law's funeral service to YouTube at my wife's request, so family out of the area can see it.
@hybotics It's OK to indulge once in a while. We are not machines, after all. :-)
We have a potential new vendor whose company name is Disqo, and now I have the Bee Gees stuck in my head.
?Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I'm a woman's man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around
Since I was born
And now it's alright, it's okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times' effect on man
Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive?
