What are your "final wishes"?

Have you given any thought to what type of funeral and/or viewing service you want when you pass away? I know this is a morbid subject but it's something I think about now and then. I've always hated viewings since when I was a little girl and a great-uncle had died and I remember hearing people talk about how good he looked, like he was sleeping and I was kind of creeped out by the whole thing. I've always preferred to remember someone as they were when they were living; there was a good friend who was killed in an auto accident when she was only 17 and to this day my first thought of her is of her in her casket and that really makes me sad. Of all the memories I had of her that's how I picture her, when she was dead instead of the beautiful girl she was in life. Anyway, I decided a long time ago I want to be cremated and have no open casket. A simple service is fine but I only want one service, not something drawn out over several days to make it that much harder on my loved ones. I want people to remember ME in life and I can't stand the thought of people looking at me and talking about either how good or how terrible I look in my coffin! Let them have a service, tell me goodbye in their own way then have a nice meal and party down if they want to. Am I nuts or does anyone agree with me? Annie
