HERMAN

DEAR ABBY: | hope you won't think I'm off my rocker,
but when [ die I don't want any kind of wake, funeral or
burial service. I've already told this to my wife, but she
doesn't take me seriously. [have grown children, grandchil-
dren and relatives all over the U.S. and Canada, and | don't
want people traveling thousands of miles juet to bury me,

After I’m gone, [ want my skin donated to the nearest
burn center, my eyes, kidneya and all other usable organs
donated to those wha can use them, and the rest of me gent
to a medical college for research or whatever bodies are used

for.

I'm not a religious person and I don't want any kind of
service, eulogy or prayers. The minute I'm pronounced dead,
J want my body moved out and diaposed of in the above.
mentioned manner.

Abby, how can I make sure that my wishes will be carried
aut? {tdoesn't scem fair that a person has no eay over whal
happene to his body after he's dead.

If you, or any of your readers have a solution to my

DEAR NO FRILLS: | agree, it doean’t seem fair that
one should have no say about what happene to hie

Perhape a lawyer can help asaure you that your
wishes will be carried out as soon as you are,

(P.8, Even though you may not want any kind of

DEAR ABBY: Our 21-year-old grandson, who has always
been the apple of our eye, has just announced that he is the
“proud” father of a haby boy born to his 20-year-old
gitlfriend. They are living together, he has a gacd job, but
no mention has been made of any forthcoming marriage.
They just say they are “engaged.” .

My wife and [ have decided that until they get married we
are net giving them a wedding present. We gave our
granddaughter a generous cash wedding gift after her
wedding, and we are prepared to do the same for this
grandeon, but not until — regardlese,of haw many illegiti-
mata children he has! :

Also, do you think a baby gift is in order for an

illegitimate child?
UNCERTAIN IN MINNESOTA

DEAR UNCERTAID: Wedding gifts are for couples
who are wedded — not merely bedded. But do senda
gift for the baby, And please don't label him “illegiti-
mate.” There are no illegitimate children — only
illegitimate parente.

ast
DEAR ABBY: Our zon ia getting married. We know very
little about the girl's family, although we have met her
parenta, and they seem very nice. I am quite sure we are
“better off” financially than they are, and knowing how
expensive weddings are, we want to help with the coat.
's there some way we can offer to share ‘half the expense
of the wedding without offending them? Or do you think
such an offer would be tacky?
NO NAMES, PLEASE

_ DEAR NO NAMES: Tacky? Not if you're tactful.

Your concern about the cost of the wedding shows

rare generosity and coneideration, Don't pussyfoot —

come right oul and tell them you'd like to share the

expense of the wedding. And unlesa they're from

outer apace, your offer will give them inner joy,
