Re: You know you're getting old...
Wifey is trying to make arrangements (seriously) to have me 'buried at sea'.If the bureaucracy blocks that - at least my ashes flung into the briny.
Having been a passionate angler and boatie all my life, she reckons I should put something back.
Although I can't see said ashes providing much sustenance for the piscatorials.

"I think zero-fuss funerals might well be on the same trajectory. Both David Bowie and the novelist Anita Brookner, who died this week, went for “direct cremation”, where the body is sent straight to the cremator from hospital or home, with no attendance or ceremony. Ashes are scattered by the undertakers or returned to the family. Apparently this send-off is chosen by about 2,000 people a year in England and Wales – but now that such high-profile figures have brought attention to it, I suspect that figure will increase rapidly.

When I die my wife says she will dance on my grave. I have not told her I want to be buried at sea.
