Funk, Egg, Mav - my sincere condolences to you all.
Egg - your kids may not know your aunt directly, but it sounds like she had a great influence on you, so you will be able to pass that on to your kids.
As for funerals, I don't much care for them. I played taps for my papaw's funeral (that always seemed special). Made a few remarks at my dad's. When I kick off, the one thing that I'd appreciate is for anyone that knew me to just give a kind word to my wife & daughter.
I want at least part of my ashes to be used in a practical joke. Put some in the vents of a car of my enemy. When he turns on the air, my dead carcass will make him choke.
