That is fascinating. I had an uncle carve his own headstone. I thought he was nuts. It turned out beautiful and it was exactly how he wanted to leave his last mark on the world.

I read an article years ago about themed funeral parlors and different options for the final service. I personnly will stick with within my religious beliefs but I have said over and over I do not want a lot of weeping and sadness....I don't believe in it. Celebrate the life that was and the life you still have. I don't want a headstone because I hope my children and friends have more to fill their lives than to come and stand in a cemetery. I will (hopefully) be watching from above and will enjoy their successes and cry with them in their mistakes.

I think the Scottish do it right...have a 3 day party! Talk about that for years to come!
