Side Branch on a Thread¹

(Source)

So yesterday we were talking about music and reader Bear Claw brought up the idea of funeral music, as in "I want this ... played at my funeral."

For me it's this one -

And that, trust me, is a beautiful rendition of that tune.

Reader Timbotoo commented, on the aforementioned post, concerning funeral music, "Ah, new side branch on the thread."

On Monday, juvat mentioned wills and things of that nature, lots of good information in the post and in the comments (we have such a learned and distinguished crowd here, yes Beans, you too). 

Okay, now this post might be a wee bit morbid, but I thought I'd chase the aforementioned side branch (so to speak) with a standalone post.

I've given some thought to where I'd like to be planted when it's time for me to shuffle off this mortal coil (God willing, not for some time yet). In my younger years this is something to which I'd given very little, if any, thought. But now, as I'm in hailing distance of three score and ten, I suppose it's time to get downright serious about things. Well, as serious as I can be.

One thing I had given absolutely no thought to, back in the day, was where I wanted to be buried.

Then I visited Arlington.

Yup, there's where I'd like to wind up. But it's getting full, so would I consider cremation?

Hhmm, I dunno, fire and all that.

But all that aside, what music do you want to be played at your funeral?

Or do you even care?

Guess I need to get a will going sometime. Soon, no doubt.

Have at it.²

¹ Hat tip to reader Timbotoo, who gave me the idea.

² Yes, I'm in a weird mood today. Er, yesterday, when I wrote this.
