    What I'm currently writing for a short story is a girl dealing with the 5 steps of grief that her family is experiencing during her wake/funeral.
    They cry, fight, beg, and eventually accept. I think it's working nicely as a slice of life piece.

    That sounds really interesting. I've always wondered what my own funeral would be like, who would turn up and who wouldn't! Whether my family would actually play the song I've chosen or do something completely different.

    Hmm...and so it doesn't. That's strange. It did initially. You could try this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L81FK9Q/?tag=postedlinks04-20

    and if all else fails then searching "Chad Lutzke" works too ;)
