I did it while preparing for my grandfather's funeral.

Some funeral homes will give you the option of putting some sort of picture on the inside of your casket lid. ie. You can put a huge picture of Jesus there so he's watching over you. etc.

My grandparents were totally in love but they fought like cats and dogs every single day of their lives. (It's what happens when a Sicilian man loves a Portuguese gal...) So I told my grandmother that we should put a huge picture of herself there so she could keep her eye on grandpa for all eternity. For two seconds she stopped crying to slap me on the arm. In those two seconds she smiled.

Death can be funny.

When I die, I want someone to throw a great big party. Male strippers and people in costumes. Come as your favorite dead celebrity. I'm totally serious. And I want some of my ashes scattered in front of the Haunted Mansion and some on Tom Sawyer Island. zapppop would totally do that for me, I know it.
