I'm lucky. Usually you're dead to get your own museum, but I'm still alive to see mine.

You should always go to other people's funerals; otherwise, they won't come to yours.

I've a great fancy to see my own funeral afore I die.

I've been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.

We don't do funerals in my family.

But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won't. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place.

I never wanted to see anybody die, but there are a few obituary notices I have read with pleasure.

I love museums but I don't want to live in one.
