FUNeral

On returning from my holiday in Turkey I was unfortunate to hear that my aunt passed away (my dad’s sister) as she didn’t get married or have children, my Dad is classed as her next of kin. This means we have to sort out all of the funeral plans. My Dad being in his late 60’s has given me the task of sorting it all out. I tell you it is LONG.COM.

I was very fortunate that she had paid for her funeral in advance. She arranged it almost a year ago through the Co-Op...pretty freaky! They pretty much sort everything out for it, but it was up to me to choose the hymns n readings, and trawl through many photos to find the perfect photo for the order or service. I am so glad that I am a big fan of photo shoots so if I was ever to pass away there’s quite a range of good pictures of me.

So the funeral’s arranged for Monday 16th August. My Dad suggested the Friday of the same week but that is one of the busiest times in the clearing office so would not want to take the day off. My Dad and I are off to Costco tonight to buy some alcohol. I’m guessing that the alcohol will be the fun bit that funeral is made up of. (FUNeral)

I seem to have become an expert in the dealing of funeral, probate and death certifications, so I guess if any more family members pass away I will be back on the case!

It’s probably not the best of topics to write a blog about but it’s what my week has consisted of! Happy Monday!
