"I've been to 10 funerals in the last year, one of them I've helped arrange. They were in the full gamut. Very solemn greek orthodox service, 4 catholic requiem masses, and a garden party where I made a toast while scattering my friend's ashes around her garden with a soup ladle. I have carried, kissed, ridden on and toasted coffins with a shot of ouzo. I have worn all black, all color, and a party dress. Despite the vast differences in send-off, despite me being at times out of my comfort zone, doing something I have never done before, I drew comfort from one thing, that this is what each person would have wanted."
