Angelina Jolie is 'planning her own funeral'

She once wore a vial of her husband's blood around her neck, so it's no surprise that Angelina Jolie can be a fan of the more morbid things in life.

But it seems the 42-year-old is taking things a step further and preparing for the afterlife by planning her own funeral.

After revealing earlier this year she's faced numerous health issues over the past year including Bell's Palsy, New Idea reports Ange is busy planning her own funeral and making sure her brood of six kids are across all the preparations, for whenever they may come.

"She's spent a lot of time recently putting together her will and trust, and that includes a whole section of how she where she wants to be buried," an insider tells the mag.

And while many may have a complex when it comes to death, the source adds the actress is "black and white" about going into the light.

"Angie's very black-and-white about this stuff, she treats it like a household chore," they add to the mag.

Sure, because planning funerals is on everyone's household chore list.

However Ange's obsession with death isn't something new, with the star once revealing she planned on being a funeral director and even got a "mail-order degree" when she was a teen.

"If this whole acting thing didn't work out that was going to be my path. It sounds like this very strange, eccentric, dark thing to do but in fact I lost my grandfather and was very upset with his funeral," Ange told US 60 Minutes back in 2011.

"How somebody passes and how family deals with this passing and what death is should be addressed in a different way. I thought I could do better, so I got a home course when I was about 14. I did a mail-order degree."

Ange's ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton, who famously wore his then-wife's blood around his neck, recently explain why the kooky couple decided on the odd sign of affection.

"She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razorblade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter's baby hair in one. Same thing. From that we were wearing quart jars of blood around our necks," the actor, who divorced Ange in 2003, told a crowd in 2014.
