Your final arrangements ..

We bought a "locker" at a local cemetery. They call it a columbarium but locker will suffice. No display, no service just an urn in any color will due.

I want to be cremated; it's cheaper. Before I die, or sometime directly after, I told wife to dump a bunch of popcorn down my throat.

Heh-heh, there's a local outfit that does cremation for $395. I told the wife try to get them down to $300 since I will have "zero original finish." Joe
 
VA supplies the hole in the ground...Cheapest way to get there is specified in my will...If it involves wrapping me in a GI blanket, then taking my last ride on the back of my flatbed Dodge, so be it...

I have three heirs, one of whom is the executor of my last will...Splitting the loot is specified in my will, all heirs are aware of my wishes and have indicated their agreement with my wishes and the reasoning from which those wishes derived...They know what to do, and I'm confident it will be done...:)...Ben
 
I plan to get a large oxygen bottle that can't get recertified, cut the valve end off and drill a 1/8" touch hole close to the bottom end. Then mount it on a small set of trailer axles. I will find or make a light walled cardboard tube that fits down it and make a wood base for the tube. A good measure of FFG black powder goes in first, my ashes go in the tube with a bit of paper towel on top, load me up and blast me out over the lower Yellowstone river from the bluffs my home town.

I will of course need to make a few test shots.
 
I platted a family Cemetery in one corner of our property under some nice oaks and dogwoods. It has just one plot..

Our last dog, Bessie Mae, was cremated and we have her ashes. Our current dog, Baby Grace, will be cremated as well.

My wife and I have just had our wills made out with instructions that the ashes of the four of us are to be put into one container and shook vigorously before interment in our Cemetery.

The look on our lawyers face was priceless [emoji1787]

Bruce

Mine may catch up to yours if they make it that far downstream. I'm thinking about getting dumped in the Stillwater around Nye.
 
Me and the wife just revisited this subject a few days ago. My arrangements have been made with work should I die on the job. And my wife knows my wishes otherwise. Going to be cremated. One last fire.

No wake no services, cremation as soon as possible and get back to what you were doing before I left ASAP.

I come from a family of undertakers, seen a lot and do not need all the pomp of a formal burial. Have legal paperwork on some things and have told all affected by my demise what I want or do not want.

Also told them if my wishes are not carried out I will do my best to haunt the people responsible. Possibly put a end to the discussions are ghosts real.
 
All Arranged and paid for in advance. Cremation and we will both be buried in the same plot with 1 headstone. All our children are many miles away, and we didn't want them to have to worry about anything.

I plan on having a family plot. My disabled son will be buried next to me on my right side, the wife on the left. I can only hope I go before my son does.

In the 1920's a beautiful mausoleum (in the Art Deco style) was built on a hill at the south end of Sandusky Street in Delaware Ohio. The people placed there were promised that this would be their eternal resting place and put money in a trust to pay for the building's upkeep. But in the early 21st century. The Mayor and Town Council decided that the "Property" was just too valuable, and ordered the remains buried in the grave yard at lowest cost and a single grave marker (That's called a mass grave!). The trust and the sale of the land proceeds went into the city coffers! This was done to increase the property tax income to the city.

I call it a form of grave robbing!

…. and I wish to have mine scattered in a particular place at a National Forest where we have camped since I was a child . Yeah , before anybody says it , I know it's not legal . Too bad . It's going to happen .

Yeah, this is one of those head scratchers. The Forest Service prohibits dumping of ashes in National Forests, but the Park Service is generally okay with it in National Parks as long as you follow some basic rules.

So my plans of getting scattered in a Death Valley canyon so that most of me will ultimately rest in an alluvial fan are thankfully legal.
