I have been very clear to my family on this one: Organ donation and cremation followed by a memorial service that is a celebration of life and of going to Heaven.
I believe I am going to live in Heaven, so why should everyone be bummed? Also, I had a difficult time at my sorority sister's funeral which was open casket, as did some others and after seeing how upset it makes people, I can't imagine wanting to put my body on display. It's not even the person anymore - rather an "artist's rendition" if you will...
