Henny realizes more than ever that life can end just like this. “I’ve already organized my funeral. I often experience that when someone dies, the closest relatives know nothing. Did he want to be cremated or buried? And what music did he like? What kind of chest? Then you entrust those problems to someone else. You just have to. organize it in advance. I made a list of how I want my funeral. I also discussed it with my wife Lia, we know what we want from each other. I want a rectangular wooden box. I often find other coffins a little sinister, I don’t like it. I just want a fresh box. ‘

The music has already been arranged. “I became a good friend of singer Ted Neeley, the lead actor in the film and rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar. One of the songs in that rock opera is Ted Neeley’s Gethsemane. I think it’s such an impressive song and I promised him it will be played when I’m dead. ‘ According to Henny, this caused Ted the necessary emotions. “He had tears in his eyes and he hugged me when I told him.
