    The have a party at my funeral" thing always sounds nice at first, but I can't imagine family and close friends being in the mood for that. Know it's a common thing for some cultures, but we're more used to being sad and crying at a funeral service. I wouldn't want to be forced to smile or "party"after a very close person died.

    I thought all caskets were sealed it turns out:

    5. Sealed caskets cannot preserve a body.
    Sealed caskets cost hundreds of dollars more than unsealed caskets, reports FCA's Slocum. "It actually costs the casket manufacturers only about $12.00."

    I want to be cremated, then have someone pack my ashes into 50+ tiny little viles and place them in spots all over the world.
