    I’ve told the progeny to spread my ashes in whatever nice natural location they would like to visit. I suspect they’ll choose some other place though: Creepy.

    Many decades ago, my girlfriend’s dad, who (I now know) was depressed, used to say that when he popped his clogs, we should chuck him over the fence. His wife pointed out that the neighbours might not be too keen, but he wouldn’t have it.

    Final arrangements are generally an obsession of children, who don’t want the hassle of making decisions after parents die. Parents generally couldn’t care less, they’ll be dead anyway..

    If you are cremated, at least have some of your ashes in a columbarium or plot. First, scattering ashes is messy, and second, somebody, someday, is going to want to visit your grave.

    Hubby’s sister wanted her ashes thrown off a mountain near her home; the wind kept blowing them back into her kid’s faces. Same thing with scattering them at the seaside. They end up in somebody’s back yard.

    ‘’juicy tidbits’’ what a great name, for a cat food brand.

    Pre-arranging your funeral is the best thing you can do for your family. It prevents squabbles among them, takes the stress of which casket, where to bury, and can we afford it. My father pre-arranged AND paid in advance. When he died the account had accrued enought to pay for the funeral and lunch for the entire family. We did add to his arrangements an honor guard. That was the most memorable funeral of all of the family’s funerals. It was misty, taps was played in the background, and the honor guard from the nearby military base stood at rigid attention. My husband thanked their leader and later received a thank you note from their superior.

    My dad always loved the beach; he was a ‘shark tooth whisperer’. Over the decades he collected quart sized pickle jars full of sharks teeth he had found. I got some of his ashes when he died this spring. I looked for a unique spot for him while at the NC Outer Banks this summer. The aquarium had a HUGE outdoor model of a mammoth sharks tooth, in a beautiful area with a view of the Sound. Some of his ashes are sprinkled there :-). My sister absolutely loved it.

    Stairsteppublishing is right. We’ve prepaid for everything. Brad wants his ashes scattered at the rodeo grounds, which I’m pretty sure is illegal. I told my friend, who will be handling this chore in case Brad goes first, to just drop the plastic bag in the trashcan by the door as she leaves the facility.

    The unfortunate thing about so many people choosing scattering these days is the absence of memorialisation. Anyone trying to do family tree research in the future will have no cemetery markers to glean info from.

    Little known reimbursement program:

    If Covid is on a death certificate, FEMA has a program that will reimburse funeral costs up to $35,000 to the person who pays the funeral costs. Google “Fema covid funeral”.

    I need to help my mom apply.

    Mom and dad here will probably outlast most of us in this life, thanks to the fact that they live in the comic book world. And if you are a comic book hero, you can even die, and then magically come back later on, to make more money for the author(s) of that hero.
