Discussion Has anyone else planned their funeral ?

[TearyEyedQueen]

All I know is that I don't want a burial I want cremation though I don't care where my ashes are thrown. Also I don't want anyone else besides close family members during the process.

I visited two funeral directors a few days ago.
As I approached the places,i was excited but this was followed by confusion and a sense of guilt for feeling this way.
I questioned wether it was wrong to plan in such detail.
I went ahead anyway and will clearly set out my wishes down to the fine details of my coffin choice,what i want to be dressed in.the headstone wording and the service.
I saw the chapel of rest and asked if i would be in this room all the time or just for viewings but i would be in the fridge in my coffin until ready to go.
I asked about funeral plans and if they were any circumstances in which they did not pay out such as suicide but no was the answer.
When I burried my husband , making all the decisions alone was so painful and i wanted everything to be perfect and spent most of my time being a physical and emotional mess.I would have been very upset if anything had not gone quite to plan.
I would not want this for my loved ones so feel this preparation is sensible and thoughtful but my friends think otherwise.
I would be interested in peoples thoughts.
It feels so right on one level but wrong on other.
I am confused.
Im sure it will give a peace of mind when my time comes knowing that everything is sorted as time is now on a possible count down.
It had to be the strangest conversation i have ever had in my life!

I said I want to be cremated and then they can put me in the garbage.

yeah, my will is in progress. I have asked to be cremated.

I put direct cremation in my will which means cheapest everything and no service.

 

[Hurt]

Nope. Because I don't care what comes after my death. I don't know if that is selfish.

I was buying a prepaid plan, then I left my family my password to my last resources, now I might buy a plan only for preparedness, not because I want to die , oh no , I dont want to die. I want to be healthy
