The Raven's Roost

I'm going to ask for an open casket funeral, but also to - quietly, behind the scenes - be cremated. As the mourners settle in, I'd like someone to walk up to the casket, take out a serrated knife and slice the top of my skull off. He'll then hold the elaborately decorated slice of red velvet cake aloft, and a realization will take hold in everyone there. The meaning behind the quote printed on the funeral program.

"A party without cake is just a meeting." - Julia Child
