Wow, is this topic about funeral music? I don't care as I won't be there. My organs shall go to others more needy, after which my family will have the right to decide. After all, the funeral and the point of contact where they "visit" the dearly departed is for those left behind. I plan to be elsewhere. It does not take a fire to release my spirit, according to the ancient eastern mysticism which I practice (some call it Christianity). But, rather, the spirit leaves the body at the point of "death." According to an even older eastern mysticism (Hinduism), at the time of death, one's spirit makes the final samhadi, or exit from the body. Final as when one practices Kriya Yoga, one learns to consciously exit the body through deep meditation--samahadi, and of course, one returns. Thus, when my spirit makes its "final" exit from my body, which I trust will occur before the removal of my organs, I will not be occupying my body, and therefore will have no more use for it. If this topic is about funeral music, make mine J.S.Bach. Oh, yes, my preference? That would be cremation & if'n I had my druthers, my ashes would be scattered, of course, in the northern rockies, in an undisclosed, safe location.
