The wife and I were talking about being cremated so the kids wouldn't have to worry about all the stuff that goes with burial. The wife had a great idea - have us placed in a build-a-bear so the kids could dress us up at Christmas, Easter, etc. Dang - great idea UNTIL I read that a Company Will Press Your Ashes Into A Vinyl Record. Decisions decisions decisions...

My wife and I have both decided on cremation as well.

But I'd rather just be scattered in the woods or near a lake or river.

As ServPro says: "Like it never even happened"

Im going with cremated. I told my wife to just flush me down the toilet. All drains lead to the ocean!!

Solids get thickened, biologically digested, centrifuged, dried and stabilized with hydrated lime and then trucked to the landfill. ;-)

Local boater died and asked for his ashes to be released over Cayuga Lake. So a family friend with a Piper Cub agreed to take the urn and a helper up. They opened the urn, struggled with the sealed contents and when they cracked open the door the inrush of wind in the cabin stirred up with a cloud of the deceased all over them and the floor. After they landed he was dust-busted and tipped in directly from shore to complete his wishes.

My wife and I have both decided on cremation also. If she goes first, I'm going to take her ashes around the country and spread a few at her favorite places. If I go first, they are putting me in an Urn and I'll be resting on the hearth by the fire place.

I'd have to be pressed into a copy of "Animals" or "Wish you were here" as those are the best Pink Floyd albums ever. It'd be a tough choice though as to which one. :)

I would worry cause I wouldn't have any say in which record. My son would probably be in charge of that and with the way he thinks, I'd probably wind up on a K-Tel Greatest Disco Hits. On cremation, one member of my family has been cremated. It took two weeks to settle out the arguments about whether that should done. And an alternative method, that boy of mine says he wants his body to be left on the prairie so coyotes, buzzards, and other scavengers return it to the earth. Not a bad idea really, and it goes back to some of our ancestors being hoisted up on scaffolds on the plains.

treasuresalvor, I know if I were pressed into vinyl and played backwards, the sound coming out would be a voice saying "I'm stuck in here. Get me out, Get me out now!" Freaky huh! Just cremate and toss into nearest ocean, all the instructions that I have left. Thanks!

well do you record your life story before that make cut a record out of your ashes? -- if so you could in a way --speak after death-- like say tell folks your will --who gets what --or tell off folks that you couldn't afford to in "real life" ....or tell folks that you'll haunt them .for the evil they did in life to you ..or of course you could be kind ...telling your loved ones not to greave too much that your in heaven now ..and that you love them and will watch over them ...
