Nataly 38 #31 August 4, 2009 I don't especially care.. So long as the people who love me are happy.. Mom comes to mind.. If she outlives me, she would be upset by cremation.. Otherwise, whatever my survivors want to do. The only thing I'm afraid of doing is identifying myself as an organ donor.. I somehow think that gives doctors a bit of an incentive to pull the plug early to save some other patient they like more But I wouldn't like to waste anything that could be useful to someone else.

Bolas 5 #37 August 4, 2009 Quote P.S. that must be done WITHOUT any accompanying chant of Him him Etc etc... ( i can get with that nostalgic phrase, for a millenium jump or for another skydiving accomplishment... But i cringe... i mean CRINGE... if i hear it at a jumpers memorial service..... especially if that service is attended by NOn jumper members of the departeds' family... ( who may NOT "get " the "meaning' of the words...). .... just the kinda guy i AM... jt scr scs nscr Good luck with that. Hopefully it can be explained to the family it's an endearing thing. Such as still calling a dead muff brother an asshole.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

billeisele 130 #40 August 4, 2009 fire up the furnace throw half the ashes at sea where my dad is, do what you want with the rest, and have a party with the money saved on the casket and plot, put my rig in the rental fleet and let the college kids use it for freeGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

lekstrom10k 0 #47 August 5, 2009 I would only ask one more thing. Take me on one more sky dive. I asked the widow of my friend if I could get some ashes. I wanted to get one of those military style plastic ear plug cotainers with chain for rifle range training. That way he could be taken on many jumps after the ashes drop.She said he was in a sealed container that was illegal to open.

councilman24 37 #49 August 5, 2009 I guess I'd rather be buried. But in an Arab or Jewish style. Wooden casket, vault if required that is open on the bottom. No hermetically sealed coffin or vault. Rather have aerobic decay than anaerobic. Think compost versus the meat package left in the car. Beside, my urn would rattle with the metal.I'm old for my age.
