I want my ashes in a MOAB, just so I can say “HELLO” one last time to the rag heads.

I absolutely love snowmobiling in the UP! Ever made it to Rogers Bar?

I haven’t decided where I want my ashes spread. Most likely my wife will want to keep them on the mantle- she’s Asian and they do that sort of thing. Or she might spread them in the garden for fertilizer. Either way I’m dead.....

EXACTLY, My favorite saying "When your dead your dead." Wife and I both signed the papers and set it all up that our kids(or what ever one of us is dead last) All that needs done is one phone call. Wood box and cremation,put in a tin can and done.Told the kids to just put me out in the trash on the curb.

I kinda like the idea of being "fertilizer" in a vegetable garden. But whatever is done with my ashes- it will be for others benefit not mine.
If one -or some of my heirs wanted to hang on to some of my ashes maybe raising a bonsai tree with me in the roots would be better than in a bottle of some kind.
There are many that chose to have the ashes of loved ones turned into glass objects of all kinds.

I am going to ask my wife to scatter my ashes in the backyard on a really windy day.....providing the lady next door has her laundry out. That is the probably the only way that I'll get into the neighbours knickers.

I have an employee that tells his wife he wants to be mixed into a douche and run through "one more time".

I like the bomb idea ! But maybe mix in gun powder during loading a little speck in each round ! That way I can guide each bullet to the designated target!

I planted a maple tree in my yard when my dad died in 2001 planted his ashes with it. that tree is 25 ft. plus now. its like a part of him is here. the old man was good fertilizer. he was always full of ****. he would have laughed at that last comment.

Take me fishing and call me chum.

Cremation is the sensible thing, but...
Traditions are hard to overcome sometimes. Having a headstone and a special place to visit the departed is a religious custom for many. For non denominational types like me, I am on the fence with this. All of my late family members have been cremated because they were CHEAP. I have told the wife that I want to buried in my 70 Charger ...(Joking)

It’s just outside of Watersmeet on your way to Lake Gogebic

 

[Brandy]

We have both decided to be buried in a plain pine box somewhere in our pastures. That way we never have to leave our slice of paradise, it's free, no funeral parlor rip off and which ever one is still kicking can pee on the other ones grave, or visit lovingly, depending on who goes first...lol.

Tim,
We head to Lake Gogebic about every 5 years for a weeks stay. I've been there al least 8 times over the years but, never ridden to Watersmeet? Next trip I'll try to make it to Rogers Bar. We like to ride in the Porkies and usually do an over night trip to Copper Harbor, returning through Calumet. Always a great ride!

I personally think the body is just a vessel for the soul. As far as I'm concerned, when I die they can stuff the body in a trash bag and put it at the curb on garbage day.

Agreed. And, I find it comforting to go visit my parents' graves. Seeing the engraved headstones gives them a permanence that will outlive those who knew them when alive (me, my siblings and our kids).
