I don't want a funeral. I want my son to scatter my ashes at a favorite lake. That's it.

I am going to make arrangements for a trusted person to turn my Facebook account into a Memorial Account. (You have to designate someone in your Facebook settings.) After a certain amount of time this same person will delete the account altogether. (You have to designate someone else on Facebook beforehand, as well.)

I hate it that my sister's Facebook account is still up five years after her death. I wish my niece had at least turned it into a memorial account.

And, of course, my brother has been informed NOT to send out a group text about me!


I am also going to leave instructions with my son to delete all my online accounts. I have everything written down, with all my passwords. For some reasons I hate the thought of all these accounts going on forever. It sort of creeps me out.
