I figure this might be a bit of a trigger for some people...

A few months ago, a friend of mine died, when she was only 24. After her funeral, I really started thinking about my own death, and my own funeral. I'm only in my early 20's, but if my friend is anything to go by that doesn't really mean anything.
So I thought bout writing a will, and compiling a collection of photos in case I do, you know, kick the bucket. I know you can get will kits, but can you just write it out without having to go through somewhere to do so? I'd rather just type up my own thing and sign it. And I was putting together some photos on the computer, because at my friends funeral they had a slide show, but I'd like to have some sort of say in what is actually shown to the people who will be there!
