Thought this was a fun little article.

Visitor Sprinkled ashes on Pirates?

You do realize that you would get shop-vacced up, placed in a plastic bag, and then tossed in a dumpster right?

Not from the water (which is where the woman in the story allegedly put the ashes).

Unless they sucked all of the water out of PotC. That would take a long time with a Shop Vac and a LOT of plastic bags (or a REALLY big one).

They circulate and filter the water continuously.

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.....

Which is why I said NOT inside the attraction- (see post above)

I realize very well that the ashes would not stay there forever- they would only last for a while- it's symbolic-not a resting place in perpetuity.

...and I am talking small....not enough to raise a fuss.....

I mean come on- no matter where ashes are sprinkled they end up somewhere else. Washed away, blow away, swept up, and alll assortment of less than romantic ideas for resting places.

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.
