[Magdalen] funeral planning

[Esther Williamson]

My Priest encourages us to file a copy of our funeral wishes with her. 
She uses that copy when she meets with the family. Tell those who 
disagree with your plans that they can do what they want later as a 
memorial service but that you intend to have your Rite II with no 
Eucharist and then give your plans to someone you trust to see it 
carried out.

Esther
