Cookies to bake for a funeral?

[fooey]

At my funeral I'm going to request decorated coffin cookies. Just because I have a sick sense of humor and I'm a professional baker.

Don't want to make light of the situation, but my Dad always said something like, "The last cheque you write should be to the undertaker–and it should bounce!"

I think more along these lines, "The last cheque you write should be to the pâtissier–and it should bounce–before you've died, but after you've eaten the pastry."

I picked up the leftover cookies and brownies this morning. There were 100 people at the funeral, and they ate half of the stuff I took (5 trays of brownies and 4 batches of cookies, and 1 sugar-free slice). I stashed most of the leftovers in the church freezer and told them to use them for morning teas, and brought a few home for us to enjoy. The sugar-free cookies never made it to the event - sitting overnight turned them into hideous pasty blobs of chemically nothingness, so I had to throw them out. But the sugar-free slice was entirely eaten, or else somebody took it home - there wasn't any left today anyway, so I presume it was a success!
