Have you thought about where you want to be buried or cremated/spread?
I'm thinking cremation, spread out on Death Valley (appropriate).
Please get the boomer jokes out the way 1st FTR henry, zettner, bengaline, Father G® are older than me.
Have me by a few years, prolly a few more.
BTW - I prefer to be 6' up than 6'down.

Wrap me in a sheet, no embalming, no casket, bury me in the wilderness.
Or, plant me in a garden. I bet I would grow a delicious tomato.

Been to a couple of secular celebrations of life and I’m sorry, it is not the same.
That said, funerals are for the living. I won’t know about it.

I think maybe I didn't want my ashes to get mixed in with other people's or something. But I hate the idea of me taking up space for nothing more than a plot nobody will visit. It's useless.
Now the question is where I want to go. I figure if I go first, keep me in a container until I can get slipped into my wife's coffin. Or dump me in the Atlantic, somewhere just out from the Gay Dolpin.

Similar to what we did (are going to do) with Mom. Dad was against cremation, so he is in the ground in a gravesite that none of us have visited in a while. It has been a couple years since I have probably been there, maybe when Mom died.

For years I've told my wife that I wanted a Viking funeral.

Just put me on a little wooden barge and push me off into Lake Wylie, and then she can stand in our front yard and fire flaming arrows into it. But then I read about Lemmy's ashes being kept in an urn at his favorite watering hole, the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip and thought how great it would be to reside on a shelf at The Thirsty Beaver for eternity. If you've ever been inside you'd know that I sure wouldn't look out of place in there, LOL.
So...I haven't actually decided yet.

Been to a couple of these lately and they do not appeal. My grandparents had the right idea: They donated their bodies to science and then were cremated. They said we could have a memorial if we want, but they didn't want anything to do with it. Those things are for the living, after all.
Also, ashes are just pulverized bone. I'd rather they keep my skeleton intact and roll it out every Halloween. Get as much mileage as we can outta this bad boy.

I had no idea about any of it until I read an article lately that there was some lawsuit somewhere because there was mostly no bones in the ashes because the temps aren’t high enough to incinerate them, so they just leave them out.

Just wondering how many funeral homes skip that step and run the ashes through a sieve and toss the rest. It was what I’d read about.
I’d like to be cremated but would be disappointed if my ashes are floating the Chattooga River and my femur is in a landfill in Enoree.

captains seat of my boat. Ideally I will build a building to be stored in so I and my boat don't become weathered by the elements, and can remain in a climate controlled environment. Koe Wetzel will be playing quietly in the background, and a large refrigerator fully stocked with Coors/Keystone light will be on site.
A family friend recently passed from cancer, one of his friends loaded his ashes into fireworks and shot them over Charleston Harbor. I thought that was pretty creative, and very fitting send off for that particular individual.

and she ended up burying my dad in some ridiculous over the top casket.
I overheard later her telling my sister "I think that's what he would have wanted".
I never said anything to my mother about it, but at the time I looked at my brother and said "is she joking?" Dad was so cheap he would have preferred paper over plastic for a wrap and some duct tape."
