8. Yeah, my Dad didn't want a funeral either.

He died two years before my Mom and we go permission to bury him with Mom as her "personal effects"

Put his ashes down by her feet. He would have appreciated the irony and humor of it.

Had to have my Sister stop the car a block away from her house so I could run back and get them.

"STOP!!" I yelled and she did, but was looking at me like she was going to get out and beat me over the head with the car...

"I FORGOT DAD!!"

We laughed so hard all the way to the funeral we were crying and our sides and cheeks ached.
