Death

br 1 . In the event of my death , I wish to be embalmed because even though I know that I shall return to the dust from where I came from , I do not want to rush it . As for an autopsy . I see no need for it provided that I died under medical supervision . If I have a home or any other sort of death , I want to be autopsied . It is important for me that my family know why and how I died so that they can have closure regarding my death . With

I want my casket to be blessed by the priest and my loved ones using holy water . I do not want to have a funeral procession . Instead , I want all my friends and relatives who will be accompanying me to my final resting place to drive their cars at normal traffic . I have never believed in the value of a slow funeral procession because by this time , everybody just wants to go home and rest and they should not prolong their exhaustion any longer than they have to . At the church or during the final mass at the funeral home , I want the choir to sing or have the CD of Carrie Underwood played .
