I've never really thought about that. Not surprising, is it? I don't know how many people think about depressing kind of stuff like when they die.

If I have to start thinking about my tombstone, I'm going to start thinking about what it'll be like for my close friends and family when I die.

I hope to everything I've ever believed in that I don't die any time soon. By "soon" I mean the next thirty years. If I died young, my parents will have to bury me, and I don't want them to.

I don't even want to think about dying till I much, much older. Some people would say that I should be thinking about those kinds of things, because I could suddenly die tomorrow, but I don't spend every moment of the day thinking about it. Writing a will is enough to get you thinking.

When I die I'm sure that everyone will want to have things "just as she wanted it". How are they gonna know what I want? I don't really think it matters much what I want at my funeral. They're going to be the people mourning, so whatever they choose will be suitible.

Anyway, who say's I'll even have a tombstone? They're quite expensive, you know. I wouldn't want anyone spending that money on me. Just my brother ... he'll have a family to raise, and I wouldn't want my nieces and nephews spending on me. I just don't know I want to be buried anyway. Cremated is more appealing, really.

I wouldn't ever give them this list of demands, though. Whatever they choose will be fine. They're going to bury me, though, I realise that. Cremating would just never cross their minds. So whatever they want on my tombstone, if they really want to waste all that money for one, will be what I want.
