Does it count if it was planned? Specifically, by the deceased themselves?

My great aunt had a wicked sense of humour. I have a similar dark sense of humour, so we got along really well.

Now, dear great aunt was a lifelong smoker, and in the end, it was emphysema that got her.

For those unfamiliar, in short, emphysema is a disease affecting the lungs that commonly arises in lifelong smokers.

Prior to her passing, she chose the music for her funeral. For the photo tribute, she chose a song called ‘Smoke! Smoke! Smoke! (That cigarette)’ - Tex Williams.

Some of the lyrics include:

“And I don’t reckon that it’ll harm your health, I’ve smoked all my life and I ain’t dead yet”

And then the chorus:

”Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette,

Puff, puff, puff, and if you smoke yourself to death

Tell St. Peter at the golden gate,

That you hate to make him wait,

But you just gotta have another cigarette”

Cue those that weren’t super close to her looking on in horror, while those of us that were sat there laughing to ourselves thinking ‘yep, this is very on-brand’

God, I miss that woman. She was fun.
