I was thinking of writing a will..so someone emailed a will with info..but it needs two witnesses at same time..cannot be the beneficiaries obviously but if I ask the other existing humans in my life they'd surely think I was planning the deed..wow.

I understand your dilema. My parents just sent me updated copies of their wills, instructions for the executor, etc. and it got me thinking that I (we) need to do the same. I even want to talk about what sort of service to plan if either my husband or I died so we'd have a rough idea of what to do. I figure it would be really helpful to have some of that mapped out since I'm sure if it were up to me I'd be in no shape to make decisions. But if I bring it up I get funny looks.....and I'm afraid someone will haul me away. Sheesh

You know Susan, how when you were young and went to a wedding, you'd look around and notice what you'd like at your wedding.
I do the same thing with funerals now.
Not only do we have a will, but I have detailed instructions for the ceremony. I want "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" for music and that verse that inspired "Turn, Turn, Turn" to be read. I want refreshments to be served and I want lots of laughter. I want my favorite photos displayed. And a closed casket. Definitely. And I want to be dressed in cotton or linen. I don't want to meet my maker in a synthetic fabric.
I drive my husband crazy. He is of the "If you don't think about death, you won't die" philosophy. :)

I got all excited about buying a cemetery plot in my hometown last time I was there. They're actually really cheap. It was nice to think of moving back there in the end.Then I put it off, like so many other things that need doing.

My father wants to be buried in the family tomb. My mother says she doesn't want to be buried with a bunch of strangers. She wants to be buried on a hill with a view. And it's not like they want to spend eternity side by side anyway.
I have to agree with my mom on this one. I want a room with a view.
