Of course my kids all think that I am crazy.
Just give me a pine box with a quilt & send me on my way.

You're not crazy at all! A few years ago, a resident of our home town reqested of a friend of his to make a pine box for his coffin (this gentleman had cancer) and wanted it lined with quilts. These requests were granted, as was his wish that his coffin be transported to the cemetary on an antique cart pulled by his two mules...yes, it was done the way he requested.
