well, this thread was worth opening for those first 3 posts! *big grin*

I decided years ago...IF there any useful parts of me, recycle them for others....then cremate me...after all, I have been making an Ash of myself all my life...might as well end it the same way...;>)

also, I do simple math and it tell me that space for traditional burials in simply not infinite..(ask them in New Orleans, LA about this!)

I have no particular wishes as to what is done with the ashes--if anyone I know is still around, they can decide. (Perhaps I'll do a woodturned urn that can be sealed and give my son the option of keeping me on the mantle, or scattering me as he chooses)
