Subject: Burial at sea...


I’m watching the Discovery channel and it got me thinking. How many of you would like to be buried at sea? I know I would. Or would you like your ashes sent into space? Or, maybe the old fashioned way? Kevin

I am under instructions to scatter a relative’s ashes under the south tower of the Golden Gate Bridge, in recognition of the good times he had striper fishing there. I haven’t studied the legality of that, and just for kicks, I may just blow him out at Pinto Lake instead. Personally, I would rather donate my body to the polar bear den at the SF Zoo. Hemingway may have been a lot of things I am not, but he can never be protein.

Rolled And Smoked! That is, before Gyozadude calls the cops...

I don't know. The sea calls to my soul, but the dirt feels natural and more appropriate, because I'm a creature of the land. But then again, my heart is in the sea...? Still have some time to make up my mind, I hope.

You might want to have your remains turned into a reef.

Off the end of a pier is the only way to go. When the time comes to die I hope it’s from a heart attack while fighting a big fish. Of course for me that probably means on a pier.

Ya, I hope that’s the way I’d like to go too. Kevin

I want to be cryogenically frozen...And I want my kids to keep me in a big freezer until their kids can have me in their freezer. And so on and so on. I never want to get thawed or regenerated I just want to be Encino man forever. Until a giant nuclear war or a meteor destroys earth. Then they can use me for shark bait. Instead of a popsicle, I would then
become a slushy. Maybe to be served as a margarita. That would be nice... I can picture it now. What should I wear? I wouldn’t want all of my distant relatives to witness me in my buff for eternity. Wait, maybe I would... Hmmmmmmm...

I ended up with someone's cremains when I bought a vase at a yard sale. I was checking it out for makers markings when I pulled the plastic flowers out and tipped it over. The ashes dumped out on the floor of my den. I swept them up and took the remains back the next morning. The guy was so shocked he grabbed the vase from my hand and slammed the door in my face. That's Gratitude. I didn't even have time to ask for a refund...
I understand that people's remains are regularly left at Disneyland. Space Mountain and the Haunted Mansion are common drop off spots.
It's so common the maintenance staff has a response code, HEPA.
