If you gotta go, go with a smile

LIMA — Symbolism with one’s last wishes upon his or her death has existed as long as time. One of the most famous out-of-the-ordinary requests came from Alexander the Great before his death on June 11, 323 B.C. Here was his requests: •I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that, in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal. •I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth. •I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is time. While it has always existed, both technology and changing times have produced many more options for sending loved ones off in personalized fashion.
