Funeral Direction from Apostatize! by Brooks Strause

Don't be sad when I die. Just sing a song for me and say goodbye. I have moved on and will continue moving on. Nothing ever really ends. Even if it did, it would make no difference. I will truly be alive when I am gone. I have seen myself so closely I no longer need to pray. I have said so much but still discover things I need to say and when all is said and done, I know I will just go away. It is coming and I look forward to the day. Don't be sad when I die. Just sing a song for me and say goodbye. I have moved on and will continue moving on. Nothing ever really ends. Even if it did, it would make no difference. I will truly be alive when I am gone. If I am lucky, I will rise into the dawn. If I am lucky, I will sing into the sea. If I am lucky, I will crawl into the woods and no one will find me. In the face of death, you must always remember: Everything and nothing lasts forever. The human mind can't comprehend what waits for us beyond, but we will truly be alive when we are gone.
