Sound s like a good experience Steve.Nice to hear of it.

Oddly enough, I never had a desire to have a funeral when my life ends. Never seen any real point in it, beyond bringing closure to close relatives and friends (and, I expect many successfully). IMO a modest piece in a local newspaper notifying friends of my passing and summarizing my accomplishments in life would be enough. But, while I may share our wishes in this regard, beyond that, I supposed I would not be in a position to decide:)
