Here’s a useful tip, you too, Crab, since you’re an old fart like me.Make sure that the Rev knows your name and thinks well of you. You really don’t want him/her to say something unfortunate at your funeral. I am thinking of my much-unmissed uncle Fred for whom a local Rev was forced to say “While I didn’t know Fred in life, I understand that he was an interesting man.” Interesting, my a$$, he was a mean, selfish SOB who made my aunt’s life a living hell.Or even worse, for folks to come to your funeral just to make sure you’re dead. Closed casket so they won’t spit on you.
