Thanks, guys.
Her death was expected, 20 years of Multiple Sclerosis leading to
complete loss of mobility then speech then
breathing difficulties which in turn affected her heart and thus
caused vascular dementia. When she came out of hospital into a
nursing home the doctors gave her 3 or 4 weeks, she dragged it out
for 18 months but the end was ineviable. As is so often the case
Pneumonia mercifully finished her off in her sleep.

Likewise. Sounds fucking awful. From what you've posted over the last few years, it sounds like you've done the best you could in quite frankly horrible circumstances, and this (below) is grim as fuck and makes Murray's check-out sound like a birthday party...

....though given it's you, I'm assuming she's never been healthier.

I suppose enough time has passed to say, I was somewhat surprised that it was a church service.

I've got as far as saying the hearse musn't be a Ford, Volvo (actually
any standard car conversion. I'll have a DS420, thank you) - or
motorcycle related.

Can't think of anything else that needs covering in a will.

I've not expressed it in my will, yet, but I'm pretty convinced I don't want a funeral.
Just want to be cremated and have my ashes scattered in a specific spot in some
woodlands.

Oh, I want a funeral. Nothing religious, but otherwise I'm not too
bothered by the content, as it'll be mostly drowned out by the wailing
of the womenfolk

Have you two somehow hacked into my GoogleDrive and found drafts of a codicil to my will?

Ditto (1), humanist I think, followed by a scattering at a challenging location yet TBC.

Thinking maybe the top of Stelvio or the inside loop of the Karussell on the Nordschleife.

(1) - Apart from the wailing of womenfolk, there may be an indifferent feline, but that's about as far as it goes.
