Re: Disposing of ashes , a bit odd.
I'm opting for the traditional burial.. in a nice place with trees and flowers and birds. NO cremation, no science.. WHY? Because I am an agnostic and want all bases covered. No cremation, no science.. no slicing and dicing. I have a feeling that the body IS just a physical shell, however no one has ever come back to describe what it's like to be burned or cut up.. So until someone tells me it's no big deal...doesn't hurt and their soul was pleasantly flying around somewhere else while transpires, I'll just be buried in a nice quiet spot..I do like the idea of the biodegradable box.. ashes to ashes and all that. Sadly, I do not believe that is allowed here.

Re: Disposing of ashes , a bit odd.
I still have Jen`s ashes. I thought about having them scattered under the walnut next to our cats. But what if I move? So then it was the river we wished to retire to before she died far too youngAs I cannot afford the river now; sod it-mix mine with hers and who cares?

Same with organ donation. You can state you wish your organs donated, but if your next of kin refuses then they will not be donated. Some states have passed a law preventing this by having a person sign an organ registry bank, but for the most part, if your surviving kin says no... it's no.

Re: Disposing of ashes , a bit odd.
The only ones it matters to are those you leave behind, no point in making things awkward for them by asking for something stupid like being buried in a block of ice at the south pole, some spiteful old gits and gitesses like to make their relatives suffer when they are gone, can’t bear the thought of them living it up after they’ve finally got shut of him/her. The normal tradition burial will suit me fine, the graveyard in not far away from my house, very quiet neighbours I have, not a bleep outa them.We are told we will all rise again on the last day for the final judgement, I often wonder how they’ll manage to gather all the ashes back together and make something presentable to stand trial, even the hardest criminals wear a suit in court trying to impress the judge, so it makes sense to keep the old carcass in one piece.
