Children's laughter will, in fact, be encouraged.

My dad has instructed us to play Tom Petty's Breakdown (the live version from the Back up the Plantation album) at his funeral.
I've been so pissed off at the Teri Shaivo situation down in Florida that I've been working on my advance directive, living will, and durable power of health care attorney documentation, and I'm looking into giving my remains to a medical school's willed body program. The funeral planning will be next on the list.
A friend of mine paints with human remains that get abandoned at funeral homes and mortuaries. At first, I was appalled that he did it, but he treats the remains with such respect, and the art is held in much higher regard than the card board boxes or in landfills.
