Emails and cards some heaven sent Friends and family saying sad goodbyes Tears of Relatives with wailfull laments Eulogy and apathy amongst teary eyes Flowers and a casket in black limousine Hands as if healing but obviously to late Speeches of approval and kind words define Lowering Casket and soil confiscates Infinite fate of spirit wanting future's sign Into a small dark dungeon seeming so cruel A tombstone of Granite promoting Timeline The earth recycles and you become molecule

Loss/Death Theme Makes you kinda wanta put this off 'til much later...
Let me be the first to comment....I don't know what to say. I hope that all is well with you and yours. I will say that when my parents died, within a close timeframe, it definitely affected me. Another turn of the page, if you would. Made me love and appreciate everything so much more.
Thanks Heidistuff.This was just my basic view on funerals. I wanted to convey the finality and darkness of it all. Not something to look forward too. Push away the steak and potatoes and take double vegetables...lol.

I did not want to glorify a funeral and think I accomplished that. I'm sorry if it made you leave this site bitterly.
Perhaps time for comtemplation of lifestyle.
