My cousinβs final request at her funeral was Backpacks full of supplies for needy students instead of flowers. A teacher to the end.
Conversation
She had about 100 teachers as honorary pallbearers who carried the backpacks out and back to their schools. It was heartwarming.

I am a teacher, and I love this idea. I am going to share this idea with all of my teacher friends to see if we can encourage the growth of this trend. I hope you don't mind, but I will share the picture as well.
