A detailed will and funeral pre-planning are always a good idea. Nobody wants to think about their 'final plans' or funeral day, but it's a event we cannot avoid, so why not take a little control over it.

It can be as simple as just writing down some notes and letting some folks know where they are kept, or a full on Preplanned and pre-paid funeral. Preplanning at it's most basic saves your surviving loved ones from having to make the dozens of detailed, and expensive, choices about what they hope you would have wanted, on one of the worst days of their lives.

I know you say "I won't be there, who cares" but speaking as someone who has stood outside a chapel during a service because of the family fight over their 'guesses' about a loved one's final wishes, I'll tell you that you should care. I have unfortunatly had to attend too many funerals of family and friends over the years, and I bet at half of them somebody says "that is so not how he would have wanted this". I don't want to sound like a commercial, but this stuff is why I have mine planned in detail.

And yes, I plan on being kilted at the event. I have no kids, and more than one kilt, and have picked a favorite (and a backup) for the day.
