Don’t bury me. I wanna go out in a cheap casket (or none) and a big flame. Then be scattered in a pretty place where my progeny and theirs can enjoy a walk or a picnic.
I’m donating my body. My family will have no expenses. Medical students will learn. My organs will be used. My wife will get my cremated remains later. I suggest everyone should consider this.
Bob is right. There’s gotta be a better choice to consider than death, especially during the next 5 or 6 weeks. While liquor might not be the best one, it beats sitting and just grousing about life.
We once used an earlier gps for directions to a cemetery, and when we got there it intoned “you have reached your final destination.” Thanks for that reminder.
My father purchased a plot in the least expensive section of a cemetery bordering a 4-lane highway, i.e., roadside. From then on to his passing he asked that, when the road gets widened again, have his casket serve as a speed bump.
Except it’s not true. “According to recent data from the National Funeral Directors Association, currently around 36.6% of people in the United States are expected to be buried in a cemetery…”
Oh lay me down in Forest Lawn, they understand there.They have a heavenly choir and a military band there.Just put me in their care, I’ll find my comfort thereWith sixteen planes in a last salute they’ll drop a cross in a parachute

A vertical board or post was inserted at the end of the wall between frames.

The sign could also be true if it were in front of the bar.

At least it was a passive revelation. I’d be more worried what revelation would be there if the name of the cemetery was “Ex-Termin(at)us”.

ICYWW, the sign in the first panel is not the same as the one in the second.

In Poughkeepsie, NY there is a cemetery at the end of a street with no outlet. The city has erected a “Dead End” sign at beginning of the street.

I plan to be cremated. My family can do what they want with the ashes later.

I’d get cremated too, but I have so much fat I’d probably start a forest fire

I don’t go to bars, but I guess if I believed that’s the end, I would. And several other things. And end up there a lot sooner.

I saw a comment once that said “my last chance for a smokin hot bod is cremation!” Sounds about right.

“Please don’t bury me down in the cold cold ground;
No, I’d druther have ’em cut me up and pass me all around.
Throw my brain in a hurricane and the blind can have my eyes,
And the deaf can take both of my ears, if they don’t mind the size."
—John Prine (R.I.P.)

I’m leading toward composting at the moment. Put me in a paper bag and bury me.
