So sorry, Lynn. I don't like funerals either, and saying good-bye is hard.
The last funeral I went to was for a woman who lived across the way from me. I liked her. We would talk about our children, and this and that. Nothing important. When I went to her funeral they had some of her artwork in the entryway to the church, and it knocked me out. I had no idea she was such a gifted artist, that we had compatible esthetics. We had never discussed art. I felt so sad that we had missed that opportunity to connect, to appreciate the same things, to fire each others creative energy.
Anyway...
I love your idea of planting a tree. When my mother was alive we would plant a plant when one of our animals died. Now that she isn't here, I support the WWF annually on her behalf. She so loved the elephants and bears and tigers and such. This is my way of doing what I can to make sure the animals are here for her great-grandchildren and their children.
