Good homily that more people need to hear. I'll add not only should you make known your own funeral wishes, but you should also have a frank talk with loved ones when there is a likelihood that you will be in charge of executing the arrangements. Make it clear that you cannot honor requests like scattering ashes and what not.
On a side note, is the Dies Irae forbidden at an OF funeral, or is it simply not recommended?
