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!
