Just tip me in in a shroud! I'm pretty sure it's not going to bother me!

Seems like you have been reading Frank Herbert.

Do you need to achieve terrestrial escape velocity, Solar escape velocity, or Galactic escape velocity?

My wife and I are looking at being cremated, and I have
often wondered why I have never seen a ceremony at a
crematory, and if families actually get the ashes of a
specific person, or do they get ashes of several bodies
cremated at the same time.

Also, of I recall correctly, there was an incident a good
number of years ago when a guy who did cremations
was charged with having a lot of bodies rotting in the
property behind his crematory. He gave the families
ashes from wood or whatever. I don't recall how that
story ended....

My parents were both cremated and buried in urns in the order of death in the same hole. Dad first, then a few years later my mothers urn buried in the same hole, her urn on top of his.

I've pretty much assumed that I would do the same, but with only my urn on the bottom, and the urn of the next good looking woman, after me.

But then I heard a good plan and this DIY casket ties in well.

I have to talk with my nephew about helping me with this one.

Do the DIY casket and have a funeral. After the Eulogy, my nephew will arrange to have the organ player plays "POP GOES THE WEAZEL" over and over. Manwhile my nephew will videotape the people in the church to capture their increasingly horrified faces each time the POP goes off.

You've all missed the cheapest process for burial. Wait till rigor sets in, stand the body on their tippy-toes and pound them into the ground like a tent stake! No muss, no fuss....

Be sure to put a sign on the bag saying $10 to ensure it is stolen.
