turtlespeed 212 #103 September 8, 2006 Quote . . . feels better to be ashes than worm food. The initial pain of the incineration might be pretty intense for a few minutes, but I'm sure you get used to it. I don't think being eaten slowly over a period of - well - forever - would feel so good. Plus - if you have the right people that are in charge of your estate when you expire, you get to fly around forever after you are set to the sky. . . . unless it's raining during the ash dive, of course.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACMESkydiver 0 #107 September 8, 2006 Cremation is least expensive hands down (I worked in a graveyard and crematorium). As for me, it depends on how old my kids are. Young like now, and I think I would want to be buried in a gravesite that they could visit if they need to. No ash dive...I think it would be cool if they released a big pouch of rose petals instead of ashes, if skydivers ever wanted to do anything for me anyway. When the kids are older, it's up to my hubby. I don't care at all.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoShitThereIWas 0 #113 September 9, 2006 I think I like this one the best Chuck! Definitely the most creative ... As for me, I would want my family to do whatever with me they choose. Burials are neat I guess and so are headstones ... but all that seems so expensive. I would rather money be spent on friends gathering, relaxing, eating good food and telling stories. Lately, (unfortunately) I have seen some beautiful urns for ashes. They can make these neat boxes and engrave your picture on it. Plus that way, you are in the box and your picture is there. Your family can keep you close even if they move, you are mobile and they will always have something to go to to reflect on and remember you by. I would just want what was best for my family at that point, no matter what it was.Roy Bacon: "Elvises, light your fires." Sting: "Be yourself no matter what they say."

SkydiveStMarys 0 #115 September 9, 2006 "Your family can keep you close even if they move, you are mobile and they will always have something to go to to reflect on and remember you by." Yes! This really bothers me. I have family buried all over the place and I can't go see them because their graves are far away. I always wondered if I was strange because I feel that if I had a close family member pass away and buried close to me (the other graves that I mentioned, well they died when I was young) say like me kids or SO, I could NEVER move away...I know, I know...its just a grave, just their body, not who they "really" are, but I still would feel some kind of attachment to it. It bothers me that no one checks on my grand parents graves (years and years ago when I was a child I remember my parents visiting their graves and the tomb stones were caving in on the plot). It REALLY bothers me, just out of respect, check on the damn grave! BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude.

kbordson 8 #116 September 9, 2006 Quote It REALLY bothers me, just out of respect, check on the damn grave! Bobbi Same here... but then I think about how since I've moved out of Wisconsin, how I haven't visited the family sites all that often... and how in disrepeair they looked.... And I think about the difference between obligation and desire. I don't want anyone to feel committed to keeping it looking nice, but it would be nice to have people visit.

SkydiveStMarys 0 #117 September 9, 2006 Thats a tough situation your in Karen, and one that I don't envy. I asked to go to my grandparents grave on the last visit to Philly and my Mom said, "I'm not even sure I would be able to find it." and my dad said, "whats the point, they are dead?" That bummed me out. I just wanted to go and "see". ya know? BobbiA miracle is not defined by an event. A miracle is defined by gratitude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morningdove831 0 #118 September 9, 2006 QuoteUse all the usable pieces. If enough is left over adn the family can deal with it, use the rest for dissection practice. Cremate whatever is left when done, unless there's something that takes less space and energy by then. I agree with this, especially using all the usable pieces. If I'm dead & gone, and something in my body can save someone else's life, take it! Cremate whatever is left ... I'd rather someone special have the ashes with them, than for them to have to travel to my grave & maintain it. One who looks for a friend without faults will have none. -- Hasidic Saying Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
