Cremated. Mix my ashes into some gun powder and pack me into 12 gauge shells. Then, whoever in the family is left behind can go shoot one more round of skeet with me.

I would like my cremains scattered in the Blanco and Pedernales Rivers.

I had a Funeral Director advise me that the heat of cremation is so intense there's no ash, just bone salts left.
"Cremains" is just such a darn cutesy word, I'll never use it again.

I told my family not to even claim my body, leave me at the coroner office or donate to science which ever. The ultimate cost saving move to me and no worries on setting anything up or planning.

Cremation. We spread my dad's ashes at sea, outside of the Angels' Gate harbor entrance at San Pedro........and in the Antarctic, in France, off the fantail of a ferry boat in the Mediterranean, in Katmandu, French Polynesia, Russia, and a couple of other places my mom and dad visited together in life. We sent my father in law's ashes into space aboard the first Space-X resupply mission to the ISS. We're still holding my mother in law's ashes for a trip to Hawaii - which she loved.
My ashes.... I don't know of a specific spot, but almost anyplace that is wild and free would be fine with me.

How are you going to scatter someone's ashes if there isn't any ash?Oldgringo wrote:Does it make any difference?WildBill wrote:I believe that the funeral director told you this, but I think he is misinformed.Abraham wrote:I had a Funeral Director advise me that the heat of cremation is so intense there's no ash, just bone salts left.
