Keith Olbermann had a great line about it:

Hey, that's a great idea- to have your final resting place in the cemetary outside THM!

And THEN get tossed out with the filter into a dumpster. Either way you end up in a landfill, pecked to death by Seagulls.

So the garden areas are a better idea, I think. Perhaps we should befriend a landscape CM.....

Screw cremation, I want my corpse strapped to an easy chair, a couple thousand pounds of explosives around it- a big Burning Man style party for all my friends before I get blown to bits!

I think that's what people need to realize.

For example, ashes scattered in the ocean get gobbled up and pooped out by fish, sewage goes into the ocean, trash, etc.

Ashes scatted in the forest still get pooped on by animals, walked on by people, etc.

It's all a cycle. And I'm fine with it. Ash scattering and other funerary services are for the benefit of loved ones, not the deceased. It's a way for the loved ones to say good-bye and have closure.

For me, I want most of my cremains used for a kick-ass party via Angels Flight to the tune of "I'm Gone" from Disney Afternoon's "Talespin". (Yes, I want people laughing.) And, some of me shall be given to friends to carry with them to the places I've loved and scattered/dispersed as they see fit.

Lashbear: "Hi Guys, glad I could make it all the way from Aus to help celebrate the life of....

Coastermatt [strapped to explosive-laden easy chair]: BOOM!!!!!!!

Lashbear: "Ewwwwww, I think I got some CM in my mouth...."

I'll make sure you are well taken care of....hehe....:evil:

Matt, I have the number to a good phychatrist. Just PM me...;)

Some people would call that a party! :D

Would that be a bad thing?

Great, now I have an image of CM blowing up the same way as the whale in that news clip.
