No Big Beds With Flowers On Top

We will be attending my uncle, Billy's funeral tomorrow. I was explaining to Alexis that she was not going to see one of those big beds with flowers on top. I advised her that she would instead see a small little box that would be given to his wife. Alexis asked, "why?" I explained that some people choose to be cremated. "What's that", she asked. I explained what that meant. I also told her that it didn't hurt, because you leave your old body when you die and receive a new, perfect body when you go to heaven. She wanted to know why we left our bodies here? Alexis then wanted to know if Billy's mouth dropped when he got to heaven and if he fell to his knees. Yes, I'm sure that is exactly what happened!!
