Disneyland as a final resting place-

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.

Would that be a bad thing?

That's why the planters outside are a much more appropriate option - it returns the remains to the earth, which leaves it up to nature. (Even if they dig out the planter, some of it will blow/scatter naturally.)

I really can't answer this post without posting something that might get me into trouble with work. But just trust me on this....That won't work either.

Keith Olbermann had a great line about it:

Disney is reportedly searching for the woman so it can charge her for the price of an E-ternity ticket.

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!
