I told my kids that I want to be cremated, and to throw my ashes at any neighbor I'm p**ed off at the time I kick the bucket.
Otherwise, no funeral, maybe a wake with lots of good food and friends who remember me.
I did have a picture of my late sister that someone took and gave to me, thinking I would be thrilled to remember her that way. Not so!!! I gave the picture a decent burial in my flower garden where my late sister had like the flowers.

That's really weird. I tend to disagree that it's a southern custom. If so, not in my particular region! I would be so upset if someone took, much less posted anywhere, posted a postmortem photo of one of my family members.

I guess if you can hang a picture on your wall you can put it on your facebook page. We all KNOW how private those are (since you are supposed to be friended, etc. :roll: :roll: :roll: NOT).

OMG that's really STRANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
But listen everyone, I respect the fact that people do what they do. It's just really hard to imagine being at a reunion and having those kinds of movies!!!!!!!! AAHHHHHH

My ancestors from Eastern Europe right down to my mom took photos of loved ones in caskets. When going through passed-down items, I was appalled and got rid of them immediately...ugh! :-( Can't speak re Facebook...don't use it or any of the other similar sites...waste of time when I'd rather be quilting!

I do genealogy and my gr-grandmother, in Minnesota, had a casket photo in an album from the late 1800's of her beautiful little sister who died at about age 9. I was thrilled to see it, but today's posting of everything on FB is ridiculous.
