Those final things

Re: Those final things

Honestly, I can't say. I've thought about it, but am not clinging to any particular ceremony. No desires of being stewn across mountains or thrown in a river or ocean. No preferrence to burial or cremation. I'd like it to be handled with the least amount of fuss, cheapest price and in the least environmentally destructive way possible. If my organs could be used to help someone then sure. I used to not want to donate because the idea of being buried or cremated and missing some pieces never sat well with me. Nowadays, I'm past that.

I kind of it would like it not so noticed by others as well. After it's all said and done just let me go and be happy.

Cremation for me.

Back in 2003 my Grandfather died. He was a very important figure in my life, he actually raised me for the better part of my early years. Grandpa wanted to be cremated and did not want a funeral. So we took his ashes up to his old camping site (he spent a few weeks every year there with his fiends until they could no longer do it) in a clearing in the middle of the woods. Everyone took a small bit of the ashes and went off into the woods on their own to do their own "service" per say. While I am not sure why, it felt very natural and was very comforting to go through this process.

So... because of this experience and because I like the idea of returning to nature and I think cremation just helps the process along a bit... Cremation it is... and no specific ceremony, anyone who would like to do something with my ashes can do as they wish. Keep them, flush them, bury them, send them to space... Whatever brings you peace.

Oh yeah and this is only after everything that is of some use to somebody in need is harvested from my body...


Peace

Cremation sounds good to me. I would like to become a diamond

but at about $7000 for a half carot, it's a little pricey

:mrgreen:

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain..we can be like they are
Come on baby...don't fear the reaper

Great song. I used to love that song just for the beat and melody. I didn't realize the lyrics were so cool.
