I don't think it's at all morbid to have a game plan ready for when you die.  This way, your family knows what you wanted.

My sister, who would have been 30 last week, died when we were both seniors in high school, and it was obviously unexpected.  That turn of events showed me how important it is to plan for something like death, because you never know when it's going to happen.  I don't have a game plan, so much as a set of rules for what I want :lol:

I don't want a "viewing".  They're somber, they're grief-filled, and I want none of it.  I want a wake with a full bar, and I've got a big enough life insurance policy to cover that AND the funeral ;)  I don't want a bunch of crying.  
If the graveyard where my sister and cousin are buried is full by the time I die, I would like to be buried in a graveyard by a river.  Not for me.  If my kids bring my grandkids to come see me, I want them to have somewhere to skip rocks or something.  Graveyards are boring.  Unless you're there to make headstone rubbings.
Oh, there's the last thing.  I want my gravestone to be cool and kind of creepy.  There is a headstone near where I grew up where everyone grew up telling the legend of the witch with 6 fingers....in reality, it was her wedding bouquet, with cement poured on it.  She, unfortunately, died on her wedding night, and her groom placed her bouquet on the top of her headstone, and they poured the cement.  I don't know if it ate at the flowers, but the stamens stayed intact, and were coincidentally set to look like a hand with an extra fingers.  100 years from now, I want my headstone to be part of a hazing rite.  :lol:  I know, THAT is morbid, but it makes me useful ;)

The sad thing is, most graveyards don't allow planting anymore.  We have to put plants in pots and plantholders at my sister and cousin's grave.  Dave, I hope you get your wish, and are permitted to be buried somewhere else and a tree planted above you.  It sounds beautiful.
