Well, since I want my body to be used for medical research at some university, I guess what the 'inscription' should be is:

I'm sure His Bobness won't mind if I nick a quote from one of his songs:

The bottles are done

The table's full and overflowed
And the corner sign says it's closing time
So I'll say farewell and be down the road.

I will be taken back to the Rez and placed on my elevated burial bed and covered in my buffalo blanket. In a couple of years what's ever left of my bones will be crushed and mixed with the ash of all my dogs and we will be put in a river that goes to the sea...Then we will be forgotten.

I found this epitaph in a book by Ed Cray, it's from the 17th century,

If one must die as oft as breath departs,
Then he must often die who often farts,
And if to die be but to lose one's breath,

Then death's a fart, and so a fart for death.

Yes I rather fancy the liquid nitrogen thing for all the bits that neither usefull nor wanted. I don't want a grave stone as such, but a wooden plaque grown into a tree with the words "I ain'tnt dead" would amuse me no end.........
