Funeral Plans

So I just read this story regarding affordable funerals and a guy who's got a pretty good business going* http://www.newsweek.com/id/188139 *and it really hit home because this is something I think about alot. Not because I have a death wish but because I think its a financial concern everyone should think about. When I do go, I don't want to inconvenience my family with a huge financial burden, for what? A couple of hours of a funeral? I don't want a funeral. I want a party! I want people to celebrate me and remember happy, healthy me. Not that I expect very many people to be there. I do want the flowers and I want people to eat, drink and have a fun time! I don't want to be thrown in a casket with silk lining-a flannel blanket will be good with a pine box. What I'd really like is to be cremated - its the cheapest - but I'm not sure what the church says about that. I know it used to be frowned upon but hello, land and plots are expensive, caskets are expensive, embalming is expensive. The church also talks about not going into debt. I'd like to hear what other people think about this. A running joke in my family whenever taking a picture is to make it a "casket picture".
