I just saw an ad on the telly for a funeral plan: “Just a couple of dollars a week…”
Here’s my funeral plan.
Put me in a box.
Put me in a hole.
(Don’t burn me!)
Sing a few hymns.
Pray for my soul.
(Don’t mourn me.)

About This Blog
Sentire Cum Ecclesia began years ago back when blogs were the latest thing. They are a bit passe now, and I spend most of my time on twitter (@scecclesia) but from time to time, I do add new things on this ‘ere website. Mostly I use it as a place for journaling about my Pilgrimage experiences.
The motto of the blog is:

Was it not Churchill who said of an enemy ” embalm,bury and cremate him-take no chances”
Of course you would donate your organs !

Absolutely not. In same category as “don’t burn me”.
I am a organ donor -being a nurse i have seen the second chance that people have got after a corneal graft and kidney transplant. I would like to be buried at sea,probaly the Yarra is as far as I would get-not my problem then. LOL
I have concerns re the process of harvesting organs – and a traditional Judeo-Christian preference for burying the body intact.
I don’t trust the medicos enough to donate my own organs. I think the whole thing is highly problematic. And yes, bury me. And pray for me. And actually I’ll be pretty ticked off if you don’t cry a Lot!!
