[cool][#0000ff]No funerals or foo foo for me neither.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]When I feel the end is near, I will put on my Viking helmet (not BYU), get in my float tube and kick off into a growing offshore breeze. After getting a bit "out to sea", I will douse myself (inside and out) with some fine but flammable liquid. When properly marinated I will flick my bic and go out in a blaze of glory.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Anyone who objects to that can kiss my ashes.[/#0000ff]

Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
I have stated in my will (you have to do that if you really want something particular to happen) that my friends are to charter a sportboat out of Miami, my treat. They are to sprinkle my ashes out at sea, perferably on the back of a tagged billfish. That way those who loved me can keep track of where I'm eating.

When I die I want to be cut into little pieces and let go in the gorge for the same reasons. I have taken so much joy out of that place that it would not fair to not give somthing back.

My aunt and I have an agreement in place that if the other one dies the living one will make sure the other is cremated and not put into a carbon sink that is a cemetary. We know it will be a tough road to hoe if one of us goes before my grandmother (she's pretty traditional). I say plant a tree (maybe even put up a little plaque) and bury the ashes when you plant it.
I would almost be OK with a cemetary if it was done in a wood box that would deteriorate over a hundred years or so, but the concrete vault and steel caskets keep the life renewing carbon in your body from ever returning to the circle of life.
Although the spread my ashes on the back of a tagged bill fish was a pretty good idea.

the traditional funeral with the deceased in a casket.
I want to be set in a chair upright holding a box of tissues. There will be a casket but it will be closed. Then when people come up and take a tissue a switch will go off and pre-recorded messages from me will play:
"Don't I look like myself?"
"Aren't you glad I don't smell?"
For an extra 100 bucks there would be a switch in the floor by the empty casket that will set off a different recording of horrifying shrieks and a blood curdling "get me the hell out of here."

[font "Courier New"][#000080][size 3]Here's what I want, but don't really expect the last part to happen.
Donate my heart to University Utah health/science center... it's got so many deformities for those students to study! Heck, I get studied now! (every time I go in for a check-up, or extra visit when I have problems, my doctor always has me "show off" for the cardiology newbies)
Donate whatever else, as normal.
Cremated. Right now, I'd like to be scattered on my flower garden (second favorite hobby), though I may get to the point by then, that I'll have a favorite fishin' spot!
Then - and this is the part nobody likes - have a party! BBQ if it's warm weather, indoor potluck/buffet kinda thing if it's cold. I figure we should celebrate the fact that I don't gotta put up with this clunky body anymore! [:p]

My Wife and Me want our kids to take our ashes out in the ocean (600 miles south San Diego and 450 miles west to Tuna country and feed the Tunas)

]. Just kidding spread my bassy ash over the pacific (catalina island) and in the serria nev. Two of my favorite places on the planet but not my most favorite place. I don't think my wife would let me be in my most favorite place [
